Copying this from another comment /edit: all of these updates are coming to the base game

TL;DR: This is not a DLC. This is Cyberpunk 2.0.

•	virtually every system of the main game has been changed and/or updated
•	police system is completely reworked with multiple tiers of NCPD/mercs chasing you down in vehicles according to your wanted level, apparently on level 5 maxtac will chase you down and it will be some sort of bossfight against them (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riK1i8lQwRM&t=511s)
•	perks and skills have been completely overhauled, no longer simple passive stat boosts, much more active abilities like different melee finishers, a dash, or the ability to deflect bullets with melee weapons
•	the difficulty curve is reworked/rebalanced
•	the loot tiers are reworked
•	archetypes of enemies have been redone for more variety in combat encounters
•	an entirely new 6th skill tree that uses a different type of skill points (relic points) that will be used to add new abilities to your cyberware
•	installing cyberware now has an effect on your body and you cant install too much or else you will go cyberpsycho (no idea what that looks like in game)
•	installing cyberware now has a first person cutscene added to it, just like in the prologue at Vik’s clinic
•	you can now “attune” cyberware to one of your attributes, making it more efficient if you have invested in that attribute; example here optical camo is attuned to the “cool” attribute: https://i.imgur.com/1UI9SEX.png
•	armor is no longer tied to clothing, it instead tied to your cybernetics
•	vehicle combat is added to the game, you can even use your katana on your bike
•	vehicles are no longer bought from fixers, but bought through a website set up by mama welles
•	some vehicles have guns installed on them (machine guns, rocket launchers)
•	new type of infinitely replayable/repeatable missions are being added where you need to steal certain vehicles marked on your map
•	new activity introduced “airdrops”, loot caches that drop randomly on the map that you can fight over and retrieve for yourself
•	tons of new random events/activities are added to make the world feel more alive, like car chases and gang fights

Despite its obvious flaws I really enjoyed the game so anything that improves it is fine by me. Probably a next year purchase for me though as with Starfield and Baldurs Gate 3 coming out I can't see where I'd even find time to play it any time soon

[–] Asimo@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

That's quite a bit of changes. Looking forward to playing it again with the new expansion, sounds like it'll nearly be a different game that launch

[–] sirfig@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Definitely enough new interesting stuff for me to replay the game probably. I will have to let my buddy know as he is absolutely ready for the dlc.

[–] Synthclair@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

That would be great, but we were also hyped before release of the base game...

[–] tedistkrieg@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Hot damn, I bought the game when it came out, never finished it, picked it up again earlier this year, beat the story (the updates they made by that time were awesome) and loved it. I saw the trailer yesterday for the DLC and looked really good, but dang the updates sound amazing.

[–] ycnz@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

Cor, that all sounds amazing.

[–] StrawberryCake@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Holy cow, i really need to buy it now, that looks pretty amazing

I can't wait to play this game for the first time when this expansion goes live. I've been a patient gamer and haven't even bought the game yet. Glad to see it will probably pay off especially since people seem to be happy with the game as is. There's going to be SO much to play this fall.

Same here, I was hoping the game would get an overhaul like Square did with FFXIV, glad to see it happening. I'll probably pick up a used copy of it now, or see if it goes on sale on Steam soon.

[–] Lyxea@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

If they deliver all that i will be the happiest person ever

I worry that people are reading too much into the police overhaul. It almost certainly won't be a GTA-style mechanism, but instead closer to "police enemies of various levels realistically spawn and pursue you."

Honestly the thing I'm looking forward to most is just the enemy AI overhaul.

[–] Saitama@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I bought it on sale at Steam a while ago when I got my Steam Deck, but didn't play much and when I picked it up again it had glitched and replaced my save with something completely different. I'm happy they are updating it and making it into the game that was promised...maybe I'll give it another chance on decent hardware.

[–] matcha@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Nice but the new spec req make me unable to play the game now :)

[–] deruku@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Awesome, I look forward to my second playthough!

[–] FujiTive@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Hope the game will be playable after this. I loved it when it first came out back in the day, also with all the bugs and glitches. I've been waiting for more than a year to re-play it after a consistent update, maybe this is the time!

[–] llii@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I'll buy the complete edition in a few years for 15 bucks.

[–] buried_alive@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This sounds interesting. I've held off playing it waiting for at least a 75% or under $20 discount.

[–] Effingeffit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

It's funny, I have been waiting as well, and just bought it last night for 50% off. I think I'll wait for this update to actually start playing it, though

[–] KerooSeta@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

This is great news, thanks. I played the game originally on Stadia (actually made $40 profit) and intended to replay it anyway, but this sounds even better.

[–] Silverhand@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

This sounds like they're finally making the game what it should have been in the first place. New perk system in particular peaked my interest. Still haven't played it, and not picking up this at launch, but if it comes out and they didn't fuck it up this time I might pick up the game+dlc on sale after a couple months.

[–] Mjb@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

I'm definitely going to play through again with all of that added.

[–] PixelOfLife@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Cool. The original is visually stunning but the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.
