Of course a new Edgerunners series means a new Cyberpunk 2077 patch
CD Projekt Red announced a Cyberpunk 2077 patch coinciding with the Netflix release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, introducing cyberware customisation and a dual-wielding playstyle.
CD Projekt Red revealed that a new patch for Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on October 22, following an announcement on October 21. The update arrives alongside the release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on Netflix, marking another tie-in between the game and its animated series. The studio did not confirm whether this is the final patch, noting that The Witcher 3 received a remaster years after release. Details about the patch remain limited, with further information expected during a scheduled stream.
The patch will include expanded cyberware customisation options, allowing players to modify their in-game augmentations more extensively. This follows earlier updates that introduced vehicle customisation, suggesting a continued focus on player-driven modifications. The studio did not specify the extent of these changes, leaving details to be revealed in the upcoming stream. Players interested in deep customisation will likely find these updates appealing.
A notable addition is a new dual-wielding playstyle, enabling players to use two guns simultaneously for the first time in Cyberpunk 2077. Previously, dual-wielded pistols functioned as a single-handed weapon, despite in-game descriptions suggesting otherwise. This change addresses a long-standing limitation that frustrated many players, particularly those who enjoyed Jackie Welles' dual-pistol setup.
The update arrives as Cyberpunk: Edgerunners debuts on Netflix, reinforcing the franchise's growing multimedia presence. While the patch's full scope remains unclear, the inclusion of dual-wielding and cyberware customisation suggests meaningful improvements for both new and returning players. CD Projekt Red has not confirmed whether this will be the game's final update, leaving the door open for future enhancements.
