Cyberpunk 2077 may be getting more Cyberpunk: Edgerunners crossover content with the launch of the game's Phantom Liberty expansion. The anime adaptation of CD Projekt Red's take on the legendary Cyberpunk universe ended up being substantially more successful than most might've hoped for, going so far as to reinvigorate the players' interest in the game.
After Edgerunners started making rounds via Netflix, Cyberpunk 2077 reached a new sales milestone, signifying that there was more life left in the game following its problematic release. With a batch of crossover clothing and weapons, and a few other bits of content, CP2077 clawed its way back to relevancy, helping set the stage for the future launch of the major Phantom Liberty DLC.
However, it seems that CDPR isn't done with Edgerunners just yet. A Cyberpunk 2077 fan by the Reddit nickname of Acrobatic_Internal_2 discovered an unfinished quest log referencing some names and organizations from the acclaimed anime. Specifically, the "%DLC_MAIN%: CASINO WARFARE" entry, which tasks the player with calling Falco, a major character from the anime, as well as watching a BD from NightCorp. The quest log also references the legendary Netrunner Alt Cunningham, who would presumably be making an appearance as well.
While there have already been discussions of Cyberpunk 2077's inevitable sequel, it's obvious that CD Projekt Red still has big plans for its first major foray into science fiction. There's no telling whether the discovery made by Acrobatic_Internal_2 is an actual upcoming questline, a secret WIP entry added by an unlikely mod, or just a leaked batch of unfinished content, but leveraging Edgerunners once again could certainly pay off once the DLC comes out.
The potential release of more Edgerunners tie-ins is far from the main draw of the upcoming DLC. Most players may find it more interesting that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty features Idris Elba in the role of a New United States agent, Solomon Reed. Since CD Projekt Red has promised that the DLC will also introduce a wealth of side content, however, the studio may be looking at ways to truly make this expansion a must-have, and doing more with Edgerunners materials may end up paying off.
There are plenty more upgrades for CP2077 on the way, too. The most notable of them all is Cyberpunk 2077's upcoming RT: Overdrive graphics setting, which cranks its lighting, reflections, and shadow-casting to eleven. The launch of these settings will truly future-proof the game for some time to come, as well as bring its visuals up to par with the likes of Metro: Exodus in its upgraded enhanced edition.
Cyberpunk 2077 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. The Phantom Liberty DLC is due to launch exclusively on current-gen consoles sometime in 2023.
