CD Projekt Adding Legendary Witcher Sword to Cyberpunk 2077
CD Projekt is adding a legendary Witcher-themed sword to Cyberpunk 2077 through its upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion.
Announced on GOG,com, anyone who preorders Phantom Liberty and has their GOG account (CD Projekt's version of Steam) connected will be rewarded with a series of goodies depending on which other games they've played.
Those who own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt get a red and brown leather hoodie for V to dress up in that looks sort of like a 2077 version of the School of the Cat armour.
These players will also be awarded the Gwynbleidd sword, which is reminiscent of Aerondight from the original Witcher and the third game's Blood and Wine expansion. Gwynbleidd is also Geralt's nickname in Elder Speech, which translates to White Wolf.
The Witcher Card Game fans haven't been forgotten either as those who have Gwent on their GOG accounts get a unique t-shirt and a special pistol called Scorch, named after one of the game's most infamous cards.
All who preorder Phantom Liberty also get a Rarog vest, named after the mythical bird that dons CD Projekt's logo, and the studio has promised there's more to come in the future.
The Phantom Liberty expansion is set to add a wealth of content to Cyberpunk 2077 when it launches on September 26 and fundamentally changes several mechanics in the base game.
Vehicular combat, a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners inspired cyberpsychosis feature, and a clever nod to The Witcher are coming too, though at the cost of upping the game's PC requirements.
