Cyberpunk 2077 continues to capture attention, even several years after its release, to the point that the publisher is considering launching a new edition that promises to be exceptional.
Despite a tumultuous launch, Cyberpunk 2077 managed to restore its image thanks to the perseverance of its developers. The Phantom Liberty DLC, in particular, has captured the hearts of players thanks to its undeniable qualities. It was enough for the studio to think about riding this trend. What can we learn?
Cyberpunk 2077, a new edition on the way
Thus, building on this success, an ultimate edition of Cyberpunk 2077 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles has been spotted for an upcoming release. Detected by Cheap Ass Gamer (quite a program) on X (the old Twitter), GameStop’s internal sales system lists this version at $59.99 for both consoles. Generally, this type of leak bodes well and it is quite rare to be disappointed upon arrival. Especially when it comes to a reseller as large as GameStop. Everything would be scheduled for December 5.
Information is still limited and everything remains to be confirmed, so take with caution. It is very likely that this Ultimate Edition will include the base game Cyberpunk 2077 as well as the Phantom Liberty expansion. Currently, the expansion is sold at 29.99 euros and the base game is often offered at 19.99 euros, or even less. A digital bundle combining Cyberpunk 2077 with Phantom Liberty is often available between 70 and 79.99 euros, although it is sometimes downloadable for around 50 dollars, which makes the price of this new edition quite competitive.
Good clues
It should be noted that CD Projekt RED, through its commercial director Michał Nowakowski, had already mentioned the arrival of this edition during a meeting with investors last month, without revealing the name. In addition, the PEGI organization briefly classified an Ultimate Edition of Cyberpunk 2077, before withdrawing this classification.
Even with caution, the signs all seem to point in the same direction, and the accumulated clues make it unlikely that this is just a tasteless prank. A bundle offered at this price could be an excellent opportunity to introduce the game to many players. Particularly those who had not dared to try it due to initial optimization problems. This could even appeal to those for whom RPG is not the genre of choice, but who are driven by curiosity.
This allows us to wait while waiting for the highly anticipated “Project Orion” project, also known as Cyberpunk 2077 2, which promises to be full of upheavals. Rumors are already talking about a game that could opt for a third-person perspective or offer significantly different gameplay, or even move away from the RPG genre. Regardless of which direction it takes, the future of the Cyberpunk universe looks bright.
