The ‘New Ways to Play’ compilation trailer showcased some of the new features that will be included in the free Update 2.0. The trailer revealed that the update will include a new Relic skill tree offering new skills and abilities, improved combat and enemy AI.

What’s more, Police AI will also finally be improved. Thanks to Update 2.0, the NCPD: “will respond to player actions in more realistic and engaging ways, including setting up roadblocks, attempting to ram players off the road and more. Driving around Night City will also see upgrades with the introduction of vehicle combat, which allows the player to shoot while driving and quickhack enemy vehicles from cars and motorbikes.”

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will be released next month on 26 September for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S and Update 2.0 will launch alongside the expansion.
