What Is in Cyberpunk 2077’s Edgerunners 2 Update?
We currently do not know what new features are coming in the Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners 2 Update 2.5. However, CD Projekt Red has confirmed anime-inspired content alongside other new items and features.
This isn’t the first time Cyberpunk 2077 has received a major patch alongside the anime. Back on September 6, 2022, CD Projekt Red released the original Edgerunners Update, also known as Patch 1.6, ahead of the first series’ Netflix premiere.
That update went beyond adding a few references to the show. Players could find anime-inspired equipment in Night City, including a jacket and shotgun featured in the series. It also introduced the Wardrobe system, allowing players to change V’s appearance without changing their clothing stats.
For a better idea of what the original Edgerunners Update included, here are some of its biggest additions:
- Anime-inspired content: New equipment, secrets, and Photo Mode features.
- Wardrobe system: The ability to save up to six outfits and switch between them.
- Three new gigs: Concrete Cage Trap, Desperate Measures, and Nasty Hangover.
- New weapons: Six new firearms and five new melee weapons.
- Cross-progression: Support for carrying saves between platforms.
- Roach Race: A playable arcade minigame.
- Photo Mode additions: The option to take pictures with Nibbles.
Of course, that doesn’t mean Update 2.5 will deliver the same additions or be the same size. However, the original Edgerunners patch gives us an idea of how CD Projekt Red has previously brought the anime into the game. For now, we’ll have to wait for the full reveal to see what else is coming to Night City.
