New Adventures in Night City

The update introduces several new side quests designed to deepen the player's immersion in the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

Furthermore, an extension of the 'Fool on the Hill' questline will add new tarot cards to discover, encouraging further exploration and engagement with the game's world.

Enhanced Player Expression and Combat

Beyond new narrative content, Update 2.5 brings substantial gameplay and customization options. A major highlight is the 'Double Trouble' perk within the Cool skill tree, which unlocks the ability to dual-wield pistols and revolvers from the Power category, introducing a dynamic new playstyle for players who love to go in guns blazing. This is complemented by new poses in Photo Mode, perfect for showcasing your newfound dual-wielding prowess. For those who crave unique aesthetics, the update introduces 'Glamdocs,' specialized shops where players can customize the visual appearance of their arm cyberware, including Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Monowire, and Projectile Launch Systems, with unique skins and animations. The update also includes a new radio station featuring tracks from the Edgerunners series, further enhancing the anime's integration into the game. Additionally, frames from the Cyberpunk Trading Card Game will be added to Photo Mode, allowing for even more personalized screenshots.
