The new improvements will bring more gameplay formats for the huge RPG game. The studio will add a new spy-thriller-inspired storyline fueled by Idris Elba with Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, releasing on September 26th.

There is no doubt that Phantom Liberty will bring a heartwarming story to Night City. It will also bring a new skill tree that will allow players to create new builds and playstyles. Plus, the new hangout, Dogtown, will add more places to explore. Both the Police and Combat AI systems have been overhauled to make everything feel more dynamic and realistic

Furthermore, the trailer also features a brand-new vehicular combat system. This allows V to ride shotgun and eliminate nearby vehicles while in transit. The momentum inflicts carnage on anyone who dares to cross his path.
Moreover, this phase of the overhaul allows the local police to chase punks for longer distances. Plus the NCPD now has a heavily armed attack force that will intervene if the others fail. The unit is powerful and armored and is known as the MaxTac Psycho Squad.
