You should start a fresh Cyberpunk 2077 playthrough with the drop of patch 2.5 - because dual wielding is so damn good.

🔫 Dual-wielding pistols & revolvers
🎮 MOD SUPPORT on PS5 & Xbox
🔥 2 new side quests
🤖 Customizable Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms & more
🃏 12 new Tarot cards
📻 New Edgerunners radio station
👕 5 new clothing sets

👑 New Edgerunners 2 gear set
📸 New Photo Mode poses & frames
👀 FOV slider on consoles
💾 Saves grouped by playthrough
📦 Stash item filters
🌈 Improved HDR
⚡ Ray Tracing & PS5 Pro optimizations
🖥️ DLSS 4.5 support

At this point Cyberpunk 2077 has had one of the craziest turnarounds in gaming history.
Time for another playthrough too? 👀
GET AWAY.
Don't do this to me.
Don't force me to watch season 2.
I've still not recovered from Edgerunners season 1.
I won't lose my self control. 🎵
// NEW UPDATE INCOMING…
[v.2.5][22.10.26]
ALT Promotional image for the Edgerunners 2 Update (Update 2.5) for Cyberpunk 2077. Weak Kingsley from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 and male V from Cyberpunk 2077 stand back-to-back atop a car. Weak faces the viewer, looking off to the side with a tense expression. He grips a revolver with both hands and wears dark pants, a combat vest, a gray coat, and round red lenses over his eyes. Behind him, V holds a pistol in each hand, his arms spread wide as he aims in opposite directions. He wears a Samurai jacket, dark jeans, and sneakers. A Night City street lined with towering buildings fills the background, with smoke swirling around the characters. The Edgerunners 2 Update branding and the Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition logo are also visible.
Ashley Williams.
She may belong to the streets.
She may have a boring kit.
She may have a case of foot-in-mouth syndrome...
But are we finally ready to admit she's also grossly misunderstood?
And honestly, she's the perfect example of why Mass Effect is so damn good.
She's flawed. She's opinionated. She regularly hangs herself out to dry. She REALLY likes poetry. And some of her neutral dialogue responses are genuinely unhinged.
She gives you plenty of reasons to disagree with her but the game doesn't desperately try to make you like her.
That's what makes her interesting. Which is saying a lot for a human in a Sci-FI game.
Love her or hate her, there isn't another character quite like Ashley Williams.
And I'm not sure I can say that about a lot of RPG characters these days.
I’m feeling MUCH more confident about The Expanse: Osiris Reborn now.
We finally have evidence that:
- Lang Belta is properly in the game!
- Original linguist Nick Farmer helped make sure it was accurate
- Belters switch between English & Creole naturally
- Your origin changes what you understand & how people treat you
- Ceres actually feels like Ceres
- Owlcat isn't shying away from nudity, sex workers, or darker themes
- This is starting to feel like The Expanse, not just an RPG wearing its skin.
Beltalowda! Im ta nating without imalowda! 👊

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Squadron 42 might actually pull this off.. AND.. It's actually releasing soon.
After 13+ years of development, we've finally been allowed to play it and feedback is positive.
- Mass Effect-style crew and storytelling
- Wing Commander space combat
- Ship customization
- FPS combat
- Dynamic destruction
- A frankly irresponsible Hollywood cast
- 40+ hour single-player campaign.
Evidence is mounting that the Q2 2027 release might be the one. It's feature complete, people have played and enjoyed it, and it has it's own Steam page.

Reminder that Mass Effect 2 rewards you for actually paying attention to your companions and I desperately want more RPGs to trust the player like this.
At one point, Mordin tells Shepard:
"Hold the line! Personally prefer to get job done and go home."
It's a throwaway line, only uttered if you dive a little deeper into his history. But it tells you something important about him.
When you reach the Suicide Mission.
Someone needs to Hold the Line.
And Mordin is one of the WORST squadmates you can leave behind to do it.
The game doesn't flash up:
"MORDIN DOESN'T DO WELL HOLDING LINES - DON'T PICK HIM."
It spent the entire game teaching you who these people are.
and you were rewarded for paying attention.
I've never gone from "What's this?" to "Yep. SOLD." faster than watching the Squadron 42 trailer.
This looks like someone took Mass Effect, Wing Commander, and a blockbuster Hollywood sci-fi movie, threw an obscene amount of money at it.
· Massive narrative-focused single-player space adventure.
· Mark Hamill as your grumpy old superior officer.
· Gary Oldman as the Admiral trying to save humanity.
· Andy Serkis as the terrifying alien trying to ruin his day.
· The Onion Knight himself, Liam Cunningham, looking ridiculously dapper.
· Oh, and Henry Cavill is casually in it too.
· Pilot / customize your own ships and fight on the ground.
· Proper cinematic military sci-fi vibes.
· A huge cast of characters who actually look, sound and behave like real people.
I'm in.
Let's just hope it's done on time😉@CloudImperium
Wishlist Squadron 42 Now: bit.ly/47KwKpb
The United Empire of Earth stands on the brink of collapse as threats both human and alien emerge from the darkest reaches of space.
Enlist as a rookie pilot and fight for humanity's future in a cinematic, single-player space adventure.
Launches Q2 2027.
One thing I desperately want from modern RPGs:
STOP MAKING EVERY COMPANION NICE.
Give me assholes. Give me people who disagree with me. Give me companions who leave. Give me romances I can completely fuck up. Give me characters I genuinely hate..
and let me be nasty to them too.
Friendship should feel earned - not automatic, and personalities should be as varied as the environments.
Reminder that they were THIS CLOSE --> <--
To giving Shepard different SPRINT ANIMATIONS based on your Paragon and Renegade alignment!
DIFFERENT. SPRINT. ANIMATIONS.
Something 99% of players would never even notice.
This is why we’re still talking about Mass Effect decades later.
I just want to make it clear since I'm being called names by those who I probably should have explained more clearly to.
99% of players won't notice only because 99% of people who played the game never played as both Paragon and Renegade, therefore they can't compare the different sprint animations.
