“Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2” premiered on Netflix on October 20, bringing a whole new cast of characters to Night City for a dark, gritty ride. And now we’re bringing a little piece of that story into Cyberpunk 2077, too! The free Edgerunners 2 Update is here, with content inspired by the anime, new ways to fight, more customization options, and plenty of other additions.
We’ve got a lot to cover, so let’s get into it. And don’t worry if you haven’t watched the new anime yet — no “Edgerunners 2” spoilers ahead!
Step Into an Edgerunners 2 Story
One of the things we love about Night City is that there’s always another story unfolding somewhere. V may be central to the events of Cyberpunk 2077, but they’re hardly the only merc in town, fighting to survive and make a name for themselves on those neon-soaked streets. Every fixer has clients, every crew has gigs to take care of, every Night City merc has their story — and sometimes, those stories collide in unexpected ways.
That’s exactly what happens in the brand-new quest introduced with the “Edgerunners 2” Update. What begins as just another gig from Wakako turns into an action-packed, high-stakes mission that sees V cross paths with Weak Kingsley, a famed Night City merc and one of the main characters of “Edgerunners 2.” We won’t spoil what happens, but during the course of this mission, V has a chance to assist Weak and his crew during a risky gig that takes place in a brand-new location: Night City Prison.
The new “Edgerunners 2” gig is more than a chance to encounter characters from the anime in the game — it serves as a prequel to the events of the series. So, play the quest before watching the anime, and you’ll have a little extra context going into Episode 1. Already seen the show? Then with this gig, you’ll get to revisit part of Weak’s story with a broader perspective of him and his crew.
And there’s even more forEdgerunnersfans in this update. For starters, you can find and equip Weak’s full outfit — vest, glasses, coat, pants, the works — and get your hands on his signature revolver, Coronation. We’ve also added a new radio station, HKGN 102.FM, featuring official tracks from both “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” and “Edgerunners 2.” So if you’re planning to spend a few more hours cruising around Night City after watching the show, we’ve got your soundtrack covered.
Pack Twice the Heat with Dual Wielding
What’s better than blasting your way through a warehouse full of gangoons with a revolver, dealing one headshot after another? Doing it with two revolvers, obviously.
That’s right — dual wielding is here! With the Edgerunners 2 Update, you can raise hell with a pistol or revolver in each hand. That’s a whole new vibe — and a whole new level of awesome.
But dual wielding isn’t just about looking cool. It brings a new playstyle and a fresh way to approach combat — in fact, it’s one of the most significant gameplay additions to the game’s combat since Update 2.0 introduced throwing knives. So if you’ve been looking for an excuse to shake up your fighting style, this might just be it.
Jackie would be proud.
Chrome Out Your… Chrome
Cyberware enhances your stats and abilities — but what if it could take your style to the next level, too? That’s where glamdocs come in. These new vendors let you customize the appearance of your cyberware, with 40 styles in different colors to choose from. Fancy a new look for your chrome? Pay them a visit at one (or all) of the five locations across Night City and see what catches your eye.
In a city that lives and dies by appearances, V really can’t afford to pass up any opportunity to shake up their look. On top of cyberware customization, we’ve also added 20 new hairstyles and several clothing sets to give your V the best chance of standing out, even in Night City.
Slot in Some Mods
We know how creative the Cyberpunk 2077 community can be, and we’re always curious to see what players come up with. That’s why we’re introducing cross-platform mod support through mod.io integration.
The update adds a Mods panel where you can browse and install supported community-created content directly in the game. It’s a new way to experiment with your experience, and we’re looking forward to seeing how it develops as more mods become available and receive support over time!
Keep Exploring
We’ve covered some of the bigger additions, but there’s still plenty to find in the Edgerunners 2 Update.
If you’re the sort of player who likes to poke around every corner of Night City, we’ve got a few things for you. There are 12 new minor arcana tarot cards to track down, and Night City Tours offer a closer look at the city’s history, narrated by none other than its late founder, Richard Night. You’ll also find fun facts, quotes, and insights at various landmarks around the city. Turns out there’s still plenty to learn about a place, even after spending hundreds of hours in it.
We’ve also made a couple of changes that should make life a little easier. V’s item stash now has filters, so finding that one piece of gear buried among everything you’ve collected should be less of a chore. We’ve also introduced separate save libraries for each V, making it easier to keep your different playthroughs organized.
And don’t forget Photo Mode! There are new dual-wielding poses waiting for you there, along with frames inspired by Cyberpunk TCG that let you create your own card art. Seems like a good excuse to get some shots of your new look, doesn’t it?
See You in Night City!
That’s a lot of new stuff to try out, and we’re looking forward to hearing what you think. The Edgerunners 2 Update is out now, so you can jack in straight away and check it out for yourself!
One more thing before you go: Cyberpunk 2077 is now available with XBOX Play Anywhere! A single digital purchase lets you play on both XBOX consoles and Windows PC, with your progress carrying over between platforms. Handy if you’ve got gigs to finish and more than one place to play.
That’s it from us. Grab your gear, fire up the game, and we’ll see you in Night City!
