In a recent post, CD Projekt Red clarified the differences in what’s coming free to the base game with update 2.0 versus the Phantom Liberty expansion. The overhauled police system I recently covered is coming to the base game. Obviously, the new district, quests, and more coming in the Phantom Liberty expansion will be exclusive to it.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what the base game gets with update 2.0 versus the Phantom Liberty expansion:
Free Update 2.0 features
Redesigned skill trees and perks
Revamped cyberware and new capacity system
Vehicle combat and car chases
Combat AI improvements
New police system
UI and UX improvements
Loot, items, and crafting changes
New radio stations (including Community Radio Station Growl FM)
Phantom Liberty features (exclusive to the paid expansion)
Dogtown – a dangerous new district
Brand-new storyline and characters
New quests, gigs, boss fights, and more
Vehicle missions and airdrops – endless dynamic events
All-new Relic skill tree and abilities
100+ new items – weapons, cyberware, cars, and fashion
There is nothing too surprising here, but folks should be aware that the new weapons and stuff are tied to the Phantom Liberty expansion.
Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty is coming to PC and consoles on September 25 and will retail for $30. As for Update 2.0? It’s supposed to come out shortly before the release of Phantom Liberty, but the devs haven’t announced a release date yet. An announcement should be soon, though.
