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

If they can get close to what the witcher 3 delivered, then this would be one of the best games ever.

Definitely enough new interesting stuff for me to replay the game probably. I will have to let my buddy know as he is absolutely ready for the dlc.

Not gonna lie, if they make good on their promises (I'm still rather suspicious of CDPR after the absolute mess that was 2077's launch), it might just tempt me to pick up 2077 and Phantom Liberty next time there's a big Steam sale.

This is great news, thanks. I played the game originally on Stadia (actually made $40 profit) and intended to replay it anyway, but this sounds even better.

As someone who has loved this game since launch, this is crazy. Pretty much every feature I wished the game had is being added.

I'm afraid to be optimistic but holy shit this sounds good.

I still haven't played through it yet, got it on steam sale, but with this announcement I'll probably hold off until this update is released.

This sounds interesting. I've held off playing it waiting for at least a 75% or under $20 discount.
