Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is nearly upon us. The upcoming expansion for CD Projekt’s Red’s 2020 open-world action RPG is set to be released on Sept. 26. It promises not only a new campaign in a location called Dogtown (along with a new character played by Idris Elba named Solomon Reed), but also a slew of redesigns to the game’s core systems with Update 2.0. A new trailer unveiled at Gamescom 2023 this Tuesday shines more light on the latter additions to Cyberpunk 2077, including additional weapons, a fresh skill tree, and revamped vehicular combat.

The Gamescom 2023 trailer offered a look at several new weapons, including the “Osprey” and “Rasetsu” sniper rifles, a shiny red katana, a new flamethrower weapon dubbed the “Hercules,” and a new category of “illegal” modified weapons including shotguns, handguns, and submachine guns.

Aside from the new story campaign and weapons, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will launch alongside Update 2.0, which will introduce a free overhaul of the game’s core mechanics, regardless of whether you buy Phantom Liberty or not. Said overhauls include a new cyberware system, which correlates V’s armor stats to your equipped cyberware rather than your clothing. This offers a greater degree of expression alongside stat-based boosts and debuffs depending on your layout; a new perks system that introduces the ability to deflect bullets, dash in mid-air, and a variety of finishing moves; and an all-new skill tree associated with the Relic chip embedded in V’s body, which only further supercharges your various abilities.

Another welcome addition featured in the trailer is the introduction of a brand-new vehicular combat system, allowing V to ride shotgun and hack nearby vehicles while
