Copying this from another comment

TL;DR: This is not a DLC. This is Cyberpunk 2.0.

•	virtually every system of the main game has been changed and/or updated
•	police system is completely reworked with multiple tiers of NCPD/mercs chasing you down in vehicles according to your wanted level, apparently on level 5 maxtac will chase you down and it will be some sort of bossfight against them (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riK1i8lQwRM&t=511s)
•	perks and skills have been completely overhauled, no longer simple passive stat boosts, much more active abilities like different melee finishers, a dash, or the ability to deflect bullets with melee weapons
•	the difficulty curve is reworked/rebalanced
•	the loot tiers are reworked
•	archetypes of enemies have been redone for more variety in combat encounters
•	an entirely new 6th skill tree that uses a different type of skill points (relic points) that will be used to add new abilities to your cyberware
•	installing cyberware now has an effect on your body and you cant install too much or else you will go cyberpsycho (no idea what that looks like in game)
•	installing cyberware now has a first person cutscene added to it, just like in the prologue at Vik’s clinic
•	you can now “attune” cyberware to one of your attributes, making it more efficient if you have invested in that attribute; example here optical camo is attuned to the “cool” attribute: https://i.imgur.com/1UI9SEX.png
•	armor is no longer tied to clothing, it instead tied to your cybernetics
•	vehicle combat is added to the game, you can even use your katana on your bike
•	vehicles are no longer bought from fixers, but bought through a website set up by mama welles
•	some vehicles have guns installed on them (machine guns, rocket launchers)
•	new type of infinitely replayable/repeatable missions are being added where you need to steal certain vehicles marked on your map
•	new activity introduced “airdrops”, loot caches that drop randomly on the map that you can fight over and retrieve for yourself
•	tons of new random events/activities are added to make the world feel more alive, like car chases and gang fights

So maybe its time to play the next time there is a good sale?

So are these updates free or only for Phantom Liberty owners?

That is like my wishlist for the game since it first came out.

[–] deruku@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Awesome, I look forward to my second playthough!

[–] ilco@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

il pireate the dlc 1ste .before im buyin it - i own the base game .never pre order .on day 1 .

[–] tedistkrieg@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Hot damn, I bought the game when it came out, never finished it, picked it up again earlier this year, beat the story (the updates they made by that time were awesome) and loved it. I saw the trailer yesterday for the DLC and looked really good, but dang the updates sound amazing.

[–] worfamerryman@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

In case anyone else is looking, it comes out in September. I am a bit excited about this, but I have not been gaming on desktop too much lately. I may have to make an exception.

[–] Silverhand@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

This sounds like they're finally making the game what it should have been in the first place. New perk system in particular peaked my interest. Still haven't played it, and not picking up this at launch, but if it comes out and they didn't fuck it up this time I might pick up the game+dlc on sale after a couple months.

[–] lhx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oooooh. I adored the original. (Well, I played it in 2022, so the bugs were worked out). I can't wait for this!

[–] atfergs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Cyberpunk was one of the few games I played to completion (after all the post-launch updates to fix it). I'm excited to start over with these updates.

[–] teruma@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How much of this is a free update to the base game vs locked behind yet another payment?

[–] notun@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Everything but the expansion area/story.

[–] Wizharry@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I had dropped the game after the intro, wanted to give it another try, so maybe this will be a good reason to try again !

[–] Toxinflora@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

maybe i should get around to playing this game because i never quite got around to it

Cool. The original is visually stunning but the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

[–] emr@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

This actually sounds pretty boss. Wonder if I'll need to start another play through, I'm not very deep into my second one.

I worry that people are reading too much into the police overhaul. It almost certainly won't be a GTA-style mechanism, but instead closer to "police enemies of various levels realistically spawn and pursue you."

Honestly the thing I'm looking forward to most is just the enemy AI overhaul.

[–] iso@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

The only thing I'm still missing is an actual open world mode that isn't tied to the storymode. It does seem a bit like the DLC might bring that, but I'm not too certain yet to be honest.

[–] kronicmage@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

The totk of cyberpunk

[–] YellowGas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't wait to play this game for the first time when this expansion goes live. I've been a patient gamer and haven't even bought the game yet. Glad to see it will probably pay off especially since people seem to be happy with the game as is. There's going to be SO much to play this fall.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Same here, I was hoping the game would get an overhaul like Square did with FFXIV, glad to see it happening. I'll probably pick up a used copy of it now, or see if it goes on sale on Steam soon.

[–] Lyxea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If they deliver all that i will be the happiest person ever

[–] Mjb@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

I'm definitely going to play through again with all of that added.
