Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Announced for Next Week
CD Projekt Red has revealed what's included in Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1, unexpected patch arriving on December 5 alongside the Ultimate Edition.
Revealed during a Twitch stream, Cyberpunk 2077 producer Monika Janowska and quest director Paweł Sasko, alongside senior community managers Amelia Kołat and Alicja Kozera, announced that the patch will include the long requested metro system.
The original trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 featured the metro system, alongside the Phantom Liberty cinematic trailer, so CD Projekt Red decided to finally add it, Sasko said.
Players can travel between 19 metro stations which can be used as either a fast travel point or a proper metro ride experience (that can be skipped at any time). There are five metro lines operating in Night City which can be found on their own map. The metro system will only be accessible after the Konpeki Plaza sequence in the game, when players will receive a call from the metro director.
"Our direction when what we wanted to was make sure players have a way to really be in the world and have an immersive way to travel through the world," said Sasko. "This is designed to be a role-playing feature."
The update will also bring the ability to carry a radio and therefore listen to Cyberpunk 2077's various radio stations even outside of a vehicle. There are some limitations, in that players can't listen to it during dialogue or with scripted music, but in these instances the radio will click as if to turn off and not kill immersion.
CD Projekt Red also announced boss fight improvements coming to the base Cyberpunk 2077, including of Adam Smasher. This baddie has been at the centre of fan complaints for years as players compared his abilities in the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime
