Phantom Liberty will improve Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt introduced a list of changes (updated)

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty should be one of the most important premieres of this year. During the interview, several interesting things became known about what changes will offer an addition compared to the basic version of the game.

Phantom Liberty will present quite a lot of gameplay improvements that will be transferred to the basic version of the game. As the authors said:

The addition was a platform to improve the basic game. Our internal goal was to constantly balance production. This was expressed in the innovations in gameplay and in the perks. Now there are fewer perks, but they have become much more specific and powerful.

  • All the main, basic mechanics of the game were significantly processed or updated.
  • The complexity curve is different, the levels and luts are different, the types of enemies were processed for a greater variety.
  • Updated user interface.
  • A new, sixth attribute, biochip will appear in the addition, for example, there will be new skills for the blades of the Mother of God. To pump this attribute, you will need biochip glasses that can be found in Dogtown.
  • Significant gameplay improvements will also be implemented.
  • These include battles on vehicles – the player will be able to shoot, sitting behind the wheel of a car (by directing weapons through the windshield or windows), and on some machines their own weapons (gatling machine gun/rocket) will be installed). You can use your katana on motorcycles.
  • Artificial intelligence was also improved.
  • One of the main fruits of AI improvement will be a strongly improved police system that will make battles more interesting and believable.
  • In addition to the main and side missions, the game will have a lot of minor tasks, as well as courier orders. Or for example, random cache will fall from the sky that need to be taken. However, to get them, you will have to participate in races. The world will also be enriched with many new secrets that are waiting in the wings.
  • Mom Wells will celebrate all the Night Cuts that you can hide. At the same time, you will need to fulfill certain conditions, for example, hijack without damage while you are persecuted. There will be many options for this task, for example, you need to pursue the car and hack it remotely to steal.
  • Cars can no longer be bought from fixers, as in the basic game. Instead, mom Wells has a site in the game where new cars will be added – and some of them are equipped with weapons.

Creative Director Pavel Sasco said that "There are very few systems that we have not changed or updated" and that they just need to leave the game in great shape. "We need to make sure that it will be accepted as well as possible".

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will be released on September 26 on PC and consoles Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PlayStation 5.
