With the Phantom Liberty growth and a pair of.0 replace for Cyberpunk 2077 completed and launched, developer CD Projekt RED introduced that it’s ceasing direct manufacturing on the sport. Whereas this implies Cyberpunk 2077 is mainly completed minus some future tweaks, it means CDPR is now beginning work on the following recreation to make use of that universe. Although the top product of Cyberpunk 2077 is a terrific recreation, there’s a lot potential to be explored with a sequel, and now we have some massive concepts.
Additionally, bear in mind there may be spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty beneath.
Maintain It First-Individual

Latest developments have revealed that CD Projekt RED isn’t positive whether or not to proceed the first-person perspective or make Mission Orion right into a third-person recreation. Contemplating gamers have already loved Evening Metropolis straight via the eyes of V, that change may very well be pointless. There’s additionally merely no higher technique to really breathe within the uniqueness of Evening Metropolis.
I’m not saying there can’t be a third-person facet, however it shouldn’t be the one possibility. If the builders need to go down this route, the very best technique could be to do it like Bethesda and provides the choice to toggle between each. This manner, everybody wins. The most effective transfer for this sequel, contemplating the luggage the bottom recreation will at all times have, is to not take away any options however so as to add on as a substitute.
Reworked Quick Journey

I don’t know if everybody feels this fashion, however quick journey in Cyberpunk 2077 is an annoying chore. The difficulty is that it could actually’t be accomplished anyplace. As a substitute, you must discover particular terminals to do it, and even then, you possibly can solely quick journey to discovered terminals. The density of these items additionally varies wildly. Someplace like Watson may be coated in them, and you will discover them accidentally, however the Badlands? Nope, you gotta trek to the place the following one MIGHT be until you went out of your technique to discover all of them for the Frequent Flyer trophy/achievement early on.
Mission Orion can hold the terminals round Evening Metropolis. I’ve no downside with that, and that actually will vastly assist. Nevertheless, simply make quick journey an possibility from the map as a result of I don’t at all times need to drive the brief distance down the road only for a shortcut to my goal.
Don’t Focus the Story on V
![V](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Cyberpunk-2077-V.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
There is just one ending in Cyberpunk that ends with V nonetheless alive. Each single different ending ends on a cliffhanger with the promise of V’s inevitable demise, or they give up to Johnny. The one ending with a surviving V comes with Phantom Liberty however ends with V totally unable to make use of/set up Cyberware. This results in them disappearing into the streets of Evening Metropolis to grow to be simply one other face within the crowd.
This ending really encompasses every little thing it is advisable to learn about Evening Metropolis. It’s a reckless place that may chew you up and spit you out. To be able to match the theme, it might be higher if there isn’t an look of V or if they’re simply talked about in rumors and whispers.
Let Gamers Select Their Cyberpunk 2077 Ending

With Phantom Liberty, there are six endings you may get to expertise on the finish of Cyberpunk 2077. I say, as a substitute of CDPR choosing one among these because the canon ending, let the gamers determine on one when beginning the sport. Much like choosing a Life Path, let gamers select their most popular ending to hold into the brand new sequel.
This is able to not solely give an enormous enhance to the distinctiveness of playthroughs, however it additionally lets gamers proceed their very own story, even when they’ll’t proceed as V. Plus, it nonetheless respects all of the totally different outcomes that gamers spend their recreation time reaching.
Supply Extra Than Three Lifepaths
![Cyberpunk 2077 Lifepath Choices](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/life-path-cyberpunk-2077.jpeg?resize=640%2C360)
Cyberpunk 2077 provided three Life Paths. Whereas they gave a singular beginning place in society and distinctive dialogue selections/alternatives, they by no means felt substantial sufficient. There are absolutely greater than three doable origins for the typical Evening Metropolis president.
As an example, it’d be neat to be an NCPD officer or have the choice to start out out as a Joytoy. There are a lot of different selections right here that may be utilized, so it might be good for a sequel to replicate that. On the similar time, lifepaths ought to embrace extra bonuses, like particular passives and such.
Extra Romance Choices
![Kerry Eurodyne Romance Option](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/cyberpunk-2077-romance-kerry.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
Because it stands in Cyberpunk 2077, there are 4 characters you possibly can romance, and they’re separated by whether or not you select a male or feminine V. There merely aren’t sufficient vital facet characters within the recreation which you can develop near, and that ought to actually be improved.
Extra proof of this subject is that when there’s an precisely intimate second with every character. That’s all you get, and the remainder of the time, it’s all random texts whenever you’re in the course of different duties. This was particularly disappointing after all of the build-up with Judy Alvarez.
Really Make it Co-Op This Time

A 12 months earlier than Cyberpunk was launched in a September 2019 Tweet, CDPR introduced, “We’d like to substantiate that multiplayer’s within the works!” It must be famous that that is when the discharge date was nonetheless April 2020. Nevertheless, that was the primary anybody had heard of any kind of multiplayer coming, and it elevated hype for the sport. It was by no means meant to be included at launch, however all official data had it undoubtedly coming post-launch.
Round three months after launch, CDPR introduced they’d “determined to rethink” a multiplayer part, and the concept was scrapped. Trying on the manufacturing credit for the sport, the multiplayer staff continues to be talked about. So, a terrific factor to do for the sequel could be to incorporate the co-op facet that wasn’t doable earlier than.
Make Participant Decisions Matter for Endings
![Temperance Ending Johnny Dialogue](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Cyberpunk-2077-Temperence-Ending.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
Whatever the selections you make as V in Cyberpunk 2077, you at all times arrive on the similar endings with not a lot variation. That is uncommon, particularly contemplating the variety of lives you contact and the methods you impression town. Extra of that ought to truly maintain significance in the best way the story ends within the recreation.
If the entire thought of an Edgerunner’s life is to depart some lasting impression as a technique to show to Evening Metropolis that you simply lived, extra of that ought to present via after every little thing is alleged and accomplished. V’s story may be over at this level, however the subsequent mercenary or Netrunner would possibly truly see one thing massive come of their choices.
Higher Facet Content material

Outdoors of Gigs (and extra Gigs), there isn’t a lot else to do in Evening Metropolis throughout Cyberpunk 2077. Certainly there are issues that residents do for enjoyable as a result of drink or pay for Joytoys? Positive, the sport has playing and a series of race missions, however these develop tiring reasonably rapidly.
I’d like to see extra enjoyable, regular actions, possibly a functioning movie show so you possibly can truly watch Bushido X such as you do with Rogue. There need to be extra potential actions to supply than the present choice, and it might additional broaden the status (or infamy, relying) of Evening Metropolis.
Solid Extra Massive Title Stars

Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba gave unbelievable performances all through Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty. This recreation is a pinnacle of efficiency seize, and if the writers and administrators can get these superb performances, I’d like to see extra terrific actors and actresses additionally present what they’ve bought on this medium.
Stars like Margot Robbie could be excellent for this kind of factor, and the developer’s reputation is in an ideal spot to make these types of offers occur. Whatever the technical points at launch, Cyberpunk’s stellar performances have at all times been one massive facet in its favor, so the builders ought to play that up.
