Despite supposedly ending the game, CD Projekt Red has just released Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.2, with some interesting additions.
Remember earlier this year when CD Projekt Red said development on the troubled Cyberpunk 2077 was finally over, many years after it began and almost four years after its release? Turns out the developer lied! Yesterday, the game received its 2.2 update, which includes some new vehicle customization options, as well as “over 100” new options for character customization, and there have also been some changes to its photo mode. According to the update’s patch notes, you can now change paint jobs on certain vehicles via “Rayfield’s CrystalCoat™ technology,” which can apparently be used to “deceive the police and reduce your wanted level by the police.” “NCPD.”
Now you can also scan the paint job of other cars and, for a small fee, save it and use it whenever you want. There are also a bunch of fan-requested cars that have been added for purchase, 10 of them in fact, including the Mizutani Shion MZ1, the Archer Quartz EC-L r275, and the Villefort Deleon V410-S Coupe, although the latter is exclusive to Ghost Liberty. In terms of those photo mode changes, you have a wider camera range and you can also disable camera collision. Additionally, you can add up to 3 NPCs to your photo, “with a roster of over 20 characters to choose from.” For V, there are also new eye colors, makeup types, tattoos, and cosmetic cyberware options for the face.
There are a number of other smaller changes you can read about, but the addition I like the most is that Johnny Silverhand will now occasionally appear in the passenger seat while driving (once you’ve finished Act 1), and yes, obviously He’s a bit of an idiot, but I still have the idea of walking with Keanu Reeves.
Aside from this update, the focus is on the next Witcher game at CD Projekt Red, production of which finally began last month.
