CD Projekt Pink has confirmed Cyberpunk 2077’s patch 2.1, due Tuesday, Dec. 5, would be the final main replace to the sport, closing the e-book on probably the most controversial recreation improvement processes of current years.
Neighborhood director Marcin Momot referred to the update on X (previously Twitter) as “yet one more patch,” and a spokesperson for the developer subsequently confirmed to IGN that “Replace 2.1 is supposed to be the final huge replace.”
Replace 2.1 will add a usable metro system to Evening Metropolis, in addition to choices to hearken to radio on foot, invite romantic companions again to V’s house, take part in replayable automobile races, bask in new sightseeing spots, and extra. There are new automobiles, new accessibility choices, and improved boss encounters, too. Alongside the patch, CD Projekt is releasing a brand new Final Version of the sport that features the Phantom Liberty enlargement.
The core CD Projekt Pink workforce in Warsaw, Poland will now flip its full focus to the following recreation within the Witcher sequence, codenamed Challenge Polaris, whereas a brand new studio based mostly in Boston is spinning up improvement on Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel, Challenge Orion. A slide in a recent CD Projekt investor update confirmed an enormous enhance within the dimension of the workforce engaged on the Witcher recreation to round half of CD Projekt’s improvement employees following the discharge of Phantom Liberty. The decreased Cyberpunk 2077 workforce now contains “devs in switch,” presumably to work on different tasks. (One other huge challenge, the remake of the primary Witcher recreation, is being made externally.)
CD Projekt Pink will presumably be glad to maneuver on from Cyberpunk 2077, which suffered from a rushed and buggy launch in 2020, with last-gen variations so badly compromised that Sony took the unprecedented step of delisting the sport from the PlayStation Retailer. The developer selected to double down on a reclamation challenge that ultimately noticed the sport redeemed by Phantom Liberty and its attendant 2.0 replace. However the years of labor on Cyberpunk should have been expensive, not less than when it comes to delays to different tasks. Three years on, with the discharge of the two.1 patch, CD Projekt can lastly flip its eyes totally to the longer term.
