CD Projekt RED announced a new free update for the game Cyberpunk 2077, named Update 2.5. This content will be available on October 22, 2026, and will bring elements inspired by the second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, which was released on Netflix this Tuesday, the 20th.
Among the most notable features of this update is the inclusion of a combat mode that allows the player to use two weapons simultaneously. Additionally, there will be new options to customize the protagonist's cybernetic implants.
Initially, Update 2.5 will be accessible on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms. The version for Nintendo Switch 2 will also receive the content, although its release date has not yet been set.
One of the central features of the new patch is the introduction of this fighting style that allows the use of two weapons at the same time. However, the developer has not yet specified what types of weaponry will be compatible with this mechanic or how it will operate during gameplay sessions.
Regarding cybernetic implants, it has been confirmed that they will gain new customization possibilities. However, CD Projekt RED has not provided details on which components can be altered or whether these improvements will directly affect the character's attributes.
Furthermore, the update will incorporate thematic items taken from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, strengthening the link between the game and the animation.
To present the content in detail, the developer will host a new edition of REDstreams on Wednesday, October 21, at 12h, Brasília time. During this broadcast, the company will showcase the main changes in Update 2.5 and release the complete list of new features.
This event is expected to clarify the operation of dual-weapon combat, customization options, and materials related to the anime. The update coincides with the premiere of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, the second season of the animation produced in collaboration with the Japanese studio Trigger.
The ten episodes were made available on Netflix on October 20, 2026. Unlike the first season, this new production features an autonomous narrative, presenting new characters immersed in a plot of redemption and revenge in the city of Night City. The series is directed by Kai Ikarashi, and the story follows characters fighting for survival in the urban environment.
Although it has not yet been revealed which specific elements of the new season will be present in Cyberpunk 2077, the launch of Update 2.5 aims to expand the RPG's content by capitalizing on the arrival of the new animation in the Netflix catalog.
