Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.5 Update Introduces Witcher 3 Items and a New Storyline

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.5 Released

According to НВ — Техно: CD Projekt Red has launched update 2.5 for Cyberpunk 2077, secretly adding five iconic items from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Interestingly, these additions were not mentioned in the official patch notes. Players will find these new objects in V's apartment after receiving a message from Arianna offering a gift. The new items include:

• Boar Carver knife
• Sihil sword
• Professor’s glasses from the Hearts of Stone expansion
• Ursine Jacket
• Ursine Pants

The patch's official changelog primarily highlights the crossover content with the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Alongside the Witcher gear, update 2.5 introduces a fresh storyline featuring Night City’s founder, Richard Night. Players can also experience a new dual-wield combat style, expanded appearance customization options for V, and additional side quests.

Looking Ahead for CD Projekt Red

CD Projekt Red has confirmed that no further expansions for Cyberpunk 2077 are planned. Instead, the studio is focusing its efforts on developing Cyberpunk 2, The Witcher 4, and other upcoming projects. Meanwhile, The Witcher 3 will receive a new expansion titled Songs of the Past, scheduled for release in 2027-twelve years after the original game’s launch. Additionally, in collaboration with Paramount, CD Projekt Red is working on a Cyberpunk 2077 movie with an original storyline separate from the game’s plot.

The release of update 2.5 highlights CD Projekt Red’s ongoing strategy of blending their major franchises to keep player engagement alive. This approach maintains interest in Cyberpunk 2077 even as the company shifts focus toward their next-generation titles. At the same time, the planned Witcher 3 expansion underscores the enduring popularity and significance of that franchise within the studio’s portfolio.

The recent update not only enhances gameplay in Cyberpunk 2077 but also sets the stage for exciting developments in the franchise. As CD Projekt Red expands its universe, fans can look forward to a new film and the upcoming second season of Edgerunners, further enriching the narrative and experience surrounding this iconic series.
