The story of “The Ugly Duckling” is highly relevant to the video game industry. The number of video games that initially released as complete disasters or were scorned by the audience, but over time proved themselves as masterpieces or at least decent and enjoyable games, is a much longer list than games that were instant hits. While most of these were misunderstood, some are in this category because they were genuinely bad from the start. Very bad. In fact, one of these games continues on its mission to redeem itself from its shortcomings.
Cyberpunk 2077 was a game that promised us the moon and delivered a river stone at its launch. Right between the eyes. However, this doesn’t negate the fact that CD Projekt Red has been working on it to fix all its bugs, add content, and while it still doesn’t fulfill all its promises, it’s now a better game that can satisfy a certain audience. That’s what it’s aiming for with its first and only DLC.
Revealed during the Opening Night Live of Gamescom 2023, this DLC expansion is called Phantom Liberty. With an explosive trailer full of action, it introduces numerous new customization options along with fresh content. Among the expected features are a new district, dozens of new missions and assignments, combat vehicle weaponry, a revamped police system and enemy AI, dynamic events, redesigned abilities, a new relic skill tree and abilities, an increased level cap, and over 100 new items.
All of this will be coming for free in the game’s 2.0 update. However, there’s a catch. It will only be available for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC versions. Those who have the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version won’t be able to enjoy this update.
Scheduled for release on September 26th, this seems to be the grand unveiling for the redemption of Cyberpunk 2077. To become, if not exactly what it promised to be, at least something closer to all those promises.
