Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty sees V taking an oath of allegiance to the brand new US authorities, with the trailer additionally revealing that Johnny Silverhands (voiced as soon as extra by Keanu Reeves) continues to be caught in your head. There’s actually some spectacular imagery throughout the trailer, and we’re trying ahead to seeing the way it comes collectively.
One other twist is that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty might be ditching the final technology PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles which, let’s face it, merely aren’t highly effective sufficient to deal with this formidable open world RPG. CD Projekt Pink spent just about a complete yr after Cyberpunk 2077’s disastrous launch optimising and fixing the sport on all platforms, however the PS4 and Xbox One variations required specific consideration to get even near the extent of efficiency that they need to have had at launch.
The final gen consoles will obtain one ultimate main replace for the sport, overhauling the cop techniques, vehicular fight, including new melee fight gameplay, new cyberware and extra. Smaller updates would possibly observe, however that’s the tip of the function updates.

This additionally meant that they needed to lengthen the event of expansions to the sport, confirming a pair months later that the DLC won’t launch till subsequent yr.
Trying again on the unique launch, we didn’t have notably optimistic ideas concerning the recreation.
“As somebody with a lifelong tender spot for the medium-specific appeal of online game glitches, Cyberpunk 2077’s botched launch simply ain’t it,” unhappy Alexis in out 6/10 evaluation when the sport launched. “Even overlooking the rushed rollout, after an eternity of being bludgeoned within the face with hyperbole, working by way of 2077 appears like 5 totally different video games stitched collectively into an entertaining, passably first rate, generic behemoth.”
