The release of Cyberpunk 2077’s massive Phantom Liberty DLC is right around the corner, which is set to bring tons of new features for one to explore, challenges to complete, weapons, and much more as a way to expand the game. Even though the DLC is going to be a paid one, Cyberpunk 2077 gamers who don’t really feel like getting into the expansion can benefit from the other content that has been introduced as part of a free Cyberpunk 2.0 update that is going to be released along with the DLC.
Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red revealed some details this week regarding what the players might expect from both the update and the expansion through a gameplay video. The video featured multiple augments, weapons, and some other deadly additions to players’ arsenals that’ll become available towards the end of this month. The official Cyberpunk 2077 X account shared the DLC, owing to a video from Much118x, a content creator who’s compiled videos such as this one for many other companies, including CD Projekt Red.
In the video, we can see that the names of the weapons weren’t actually revealed. However, along with other scoped weapons as well as throwing knives, we also see vehicular combat, flashy slow-motion dashes, and much more.
Phantom Liberty DLC & Free Update Content
With two different releases coming up in the form of the free update and the Phantom Liberty DLC, the real question is which of the things are going to be locked behind the paywall and which ones are going to be free. Fortunately, we can stop speculating on that certain point because CD Projekt Red previously shared the division between the two different releases of content. They also shared some other information on that which can be seen below:
Vehicle missions and airdrops – endless dynamic events
Vehicle missile launchers
Dogtown – a dangerous new district
100+ new items – weapons, cyberware, cars, and fashion
Brand-new storyline and characters
Level cap increased to 60
New quests, gigs, boss fights, and more
All-new Relic skill tree and abilities
The Content From Cyberpunk 2.0
UI and UX improvements
Redesigned skill trees and perks
New radio stations (including Community Radio Station Growl FM)
Vehicle combat and car chases
Revamped cyberware and new capacity system
Loot, items, and crafting changes
New police system

Cyberpunk 2.0 & Phantom Liberty Release Date
We have known for a while now that Phantom Liberty is set to release on September 26, 2023. However, when it comes to the Cyberpunk 2.0 update, that query was recently addressed by Marcin Momot, the global community director for CD Projekt Red. Momot shared on his Twitter page that even though he couldn’t give an exact date yet, he did say that more information would come soon. So, there’s a high chance that the update will be released at some time other than the release date of Phantom Liberty.
