With the Phantom Liberty growth and a couple of.0 replace for Cyberpunk 2077 completed and launched, developer CD Projekt RED introduced that it’s ceasing direct manufacturing on the sport. Whereas this implies Cyberpunk 2077 is mainly completed minus some future tweaks, it means CDPR is now beginning work on the subsequent recreation to make use of that universe. Although the tip product of Cyberpunk 2077 is a terrific recreation, there may be a lot potential to be explored with a sequel, and we have now some huge concepts.
Additionally, remember there may be spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty beneath.
Maintain It First-Individual

Latest developments have revealed that CD Projekt RED isn’t positive whether or not to proceed the first-person perspective or make Undertaking Orion right into a third-person recreation. Contemplating gamers have already loved Night time Metropolis immediately by the eyes of V, that change may very well be pointless. There’s additionally merely no higher method to really breathe within the uniqueness of Night time Metropolis.
I’m not saying there can’t be a third-person facet, but it surely shouldn’t be the one choice. If the builders need to go down this route, the most effective methodology could be to do it like Bethesda and provides the choice to toggle between each. This manner, everybody wins. The most effective transfer for this sequel, contemplating the luggage the bottom recreation will all the time have, is to not take away any options however so as to add on as an alternative.
Reworked Quick Journey
![Fast Travel Points](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Cyberpunk-2077-Autowerks-Fast-Travel-Point.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
I don’t know if everybody feels this manner, however quick journey in Cyberpunk 2077 is an annoying chore. The problem is that it may well’t be achieved anyplace. As an alternative, it’s a must to discover particular terminals to do it, and even then, you’ll be able to solely quick journey to discovered terminals. The density of these items additionally varies wildly. Someplace like Watson may be lined in them, and you will see them accidentally, however the Badlands? Nope, you gotta trek to the place the subsequent one MIGHT be until you went out of your method to discover all of them for the Frequent Flyer trophy/achievement early on.
Undertaking Orion can hold the terminals round Night time Metropolis. I’ve no drawback with that, and that truthfully will significantly assist. Nevertheless, simply make quick journey an choice from the map as a result of I don’t all the time need to drive the quick distance down the road only for a shortcut to my goal.
Don’t Focus the Story on V
![V](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Cyberpunk-2077-V.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
There is just one ending in Cyberpunk that ends with V nonetheless alive. Each single different ending ends on a cliffhanger with the promise of V’s inevitable dying, or they give up to Johnny. The one ending with a surviving V comes with Phantom Liberty however ends with V solely unable to make use of/set up Cyberware. This results in them disappearing into the streets of Night time Metropolis to grow to be simply one other face within the crowd.
This ending really encompasses every part it’s essential find out about Night time Metropolis. It’s a reckless place that may chew you up and spit you out. As a way to match the theme, it might be higher if there isn’t an look of V or if they’re simply talked about in rumors and whispers.
Let Gamers Select Their Cyberpunk 2077 Ending

With Phantom Liberty, there are six endings you may get to expertise on the finish of Cyberpunk 2077. I say, as an alternative of CDPR choosing one in all these because the canon ending, let the gamers resolve on one when beginning the sport. Just like choosing a Life Path, let gamers select their most well-liked ending to hold into the brand new sequel.
This might not solely give an enormous enhance to the individuality of playthroughs, but it surely additionally lets gamers proceed their very own story, even when they will’t proceed as V. Plus, it nonetheless respects all of the totally different outcomes that gamers spend their recreation time reaching.
Supply Extra Than Three Lifepaths
![Cyberpunk 2077 Lifepath Choices](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/life-path-cyberpunk-2077.jpeg?resize=640%2C360)
Cyberpunk 2077 provided three Life Paths. Whereas they gave a singular beginning place in society and distinctive dialogue decisions/alternatives, they by no means felt substantial sufficient. There are certainly greater than three attainable origins for the typical Night time Metropolis president.
For example, it’d be neat to be an NCPD officer or have the choice to begin out as a Joytoy. There are a lot of different decisions right here that may be utilized, so it might be good for a sequel to mirror that. On the similar time, lifepaths ought to embody extra bonuses, like particular passives and such.
Extra Romance Choices
![Kerry Eurodyne Romance Option](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/cyberpunk-2077-romance-kerry.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
Because it stands in Cyberpunk 2077, there are 4 characters you’ll be able to romance, and they’re separated by whether or not you select a male or feminine V. There merely aren’t sufficient essential aspect characters within the recreation that you would be able to develop near, and that ought to definitely be improved.
Extra proof of this concern is that when there may be an precisely intimate second with every character. That’s all you get, and the remainder of the time, it’s all random texts if you’re in the midst of different duties. This was particularly disappointing after all of the build-up with Judy Alvarez.
Truly Make it Co-Op This Time

A yr earlier than Cyberpunk was launched in a September 2019 Tweet, CDPR introduced, “We’d like to verify that multiplayer’s within the works!” It needs to be famous that that is when the discharge date was nonetheless April 2020. Nevertheless, that was the primary anybody had heard of any type of multiplayer coming, and it elevated hype for the sport. It was by no means meant to be included at launch, however all official info had it positively coming post-launch.
Round three months after launch, CDPR introduced they’d “determined to rethink” a multiplayer element, and the concept was scrapped. Wanting on the manufacturing credit for the sport, the multiplayer staff continues to be talked about. So, an incredible factor to do for the sequel could be to incorporate the co-op facet that wasn’t attainable earlier than.
Make Participant Decisions Matter for Endings
![Temperance Ending Johnny Dialogue](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Cyberpunk-2077-Temperence-Ending.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
Whatever the decisions you make as V in Cyberpunk 2077, you all the time arrive on the similar endings with not a lot variation. That is uncommon, particularly contemplating the variety of lives you contact and the methods you influence town. Extra of that ought to really maintain significance in the way in which the story ends within the recreation.
If the entire thought of an Edgerunner’s life is to depart some lasting influence as a method to show to Night time Metropolis that you just lived, extra of that ought to present by after every part is alleged and achieved. V’s story may be over at this level, however the subsequent mercenary or Netrunner would possibly really see one thing huge come of their choices.
Higher Facet Content material

Exterior of Gigs (and extra Gigs), there isn’t a lot else to do in Night time Metropolis throughout Cyberpunk 2077. Certainly there are issues that residents do for enjoyable as a result of drink or pay for Joytoys? Certain, the sport has playing and a sequence of race missions, however these develop tiring reasonably shortly.
I’d like to see extra enjoyable, regular actions, perhaps a functioning movie show so you’ll be able to really watch Bushido X such as you do with Rogue. There must be extra potential actions to supply than the present choice, and it might additional develop the status (or infamy, relying) of Night time Metropolis.
Solid Extra Large Identify Stars

Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba gave unbelievable performances all through Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty. This recreation is a pinnacle of efficiency seize, and if the writers and administrators can get these superb performances, I’d like to see extra terrific actors and actresses additionally present what they’ve received on this medium.
Stars like Margot Robbie could be good for this type of factor, and the developer’s reputation is in an ideal spot to make these kinds of offers occur. Whatever the technical points at launch, Cyberpunk’s stellar performances have all the time been one huge facet in its favor, so the builders ought to play that up.
