CD Projekt Red has detailed the substantial update coming to Cyberpunk 2077, revealing a new dual-wielding skill for pistols and revolvers, cyberware customisation, cross-platform mod support, and a brand-new Edgerunners-related story quest featuring voice actors from the Netflix anime show.
The update arrives 22nd October on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X, with the Switch 2 version following "in a couple of days", CDPR media manager Laura Beitzel said during a RedStream this afternoon.
Actual details on the new Edgerunners-related story quest were intentionally thin, but Cyberpunk 2 associate game director Pawel Sasko said it had been written with people involved in the Netflix show, and CDPR publishing producer Natlia Pych it would be a prequel to Edgerunners 2. "It will be the last job of the King's team," Pych said, and it will let us meet characters on the team: Emily, Meshuga, and Miguel.
There'll also be a new Edgerunners radio station added to Cyberpunk 2077 to listen to, which has 16 tracks comprised of songs from both Edgerunners 1 and 2, Sasko said.
Another new type of quest coming in the update is Night City Tours, which is a less action-focused pursuit - the word "cosy" was thrown around. Night City founder Richard Night tells you the lore of the city while things happen around him that don't quite seem to add up. This is a mystery you need to solve. There are also minor tarot arcana being added to the game for you to find, in conjunction with an actual physical deck going on sale.
Cross-platform mod support in Cyberpunk 2077 comes hot on the heels of cross-platform mod support being added to the Remastered update for The Witcher 3, and it works in a very similar way. It's also a partnership with mod platform Mod.io, and there's a panel in the game where you can browse mods - "including the adult mods", Sasko said with a smile - and download and install them. And this is a work in progress: more mods will be added over time.
Implantable cyberware is becoming customisable via new "glam docs" being added to the game alongside - sometimes literally - the ripper docs you already find there. There are five new glam docs dotted around the city, each with their own shop space, and each offering bespoke visual upgrades. This allows you to colour your implants the way you want them.
Beside that, there are a "ton" of new optimisations coming to the game, including a field of vision slider at long last, proper DLSS 4.5 support, and metal frame interpolation and denoising on Mac, whatever that is - it sounded like it was a big deal.
