	The game also got a significant shot in the arm player-wise due to the surprisingly good [[Anime]] tie-in called Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (that will make you weep a lot of manly tears) which saw a slew of players get into the game or give it another shot just as it was getting good. Lastly, the game also received mod support and toolkits meaning that the doors have now been open to some enterprising and passionate fans to get shit done and add their contribution to the mix.

			Is expected to have it's first and only expansion in the form of 'Phantom Liberty' release in September 26, 2023. Alongside it will come an update that, according to developer and journalist comments, will overhaul many aspects of the entire game so that it will be much closer to what the game was originally promised to be like.

	Plot-wise, the game leads on from ''Firestorm'': the Fourth Corporate War happened, destroying Arasaka Tower with a mini-nuke, but [[Cyberpunk v3]]'s events never came to fruition (and thank fuck for that). Soon after this, the legendary Netrunner Rache Bartmoss (one of several God-tier NPCs from the original CP2020) released DataKrash onto the Net as an effort to break the corporate stranglehold on it, royally fucking up the internet and screwing Corpo and Cyberpunk alike over - with the Net now a [[Warp\|jumbled hellscape of rogue AIs, Black ICE programs, and sanity-sandblasting corrupted code]], every gang, corporation, and government promptly begins establishing their own mini-internets where they can rule without any oversight ([[Irony\|the exact ''opposite'' of what Bartmoss wanted.]])		Plot-wise, the game leads on from ''Firestorm'': the Fourth Corporate War happened, destroying Arasaka Tower with a mini-nuke, but [[Cyberpunk v3]]'s events never came to fruition (and thank fuck for that).

	Fast forward past [[Cyberpunk RED]] to 2077. Arasaka has developed a biochip known as the Relic, which can effectively 'back up' a person's mind as pure data. V, the player character, and their fellow mercenary/cyberpunk Jackie get contracted by the Fixer Dexter DeShawn to steal it on behalf of contractor Evelyn Parker. Unsurprisingly, [[Not As Planned\|shit goes south in short order]]: it's in a prestigious hotel penthouse ~~owned by~~ Yorinobu Arasaka, oldest son of [[BBEG\|Saburo Arasaka]] (Bill Gates + Japan's Emperor in all but blood, i.e.: ''the'' really big cheese), ~~and the old git's decided to pay~~ Yorinobu a surprise house visit because Yorinobu ~~himself~~ stole the Relic from ~~his dad~~. ~~Worse, Yorinobu's bodyguard~~ is Arasaka's best hitman, Adam Smasher (~~the setting's human~~ cyborg equivalent of the [[Tarrasque]]).

V, the player character, and their fellow mercenary/cyberpunk Jackie get contracted by the Fixer Dexter DeShawn to steal it on behalf of contractor Evelyn Parker. Unsurprisingly, [[Not As Planned\|shit goes south in short order]]: it's in a prestigious hotel penthouse and three major NPCs from the original game are involved. The first two are Yorinobu Arasaka, oldest son of [[BBEG\|Saburo Arasaka]] (Bill Gates + Japan's Emperor in all but blood, i.e.: ''the'' really big cheese). The second is Saburo himself, paying Yorinobu a surprise house visit because Yorinobu stole the Relic from him. The third is Arasaka's best hitman, Adam Smasher (a psychotic 8ft cyborg equivalent of the [[Tarrasque]] and here Yorinobu's bodyguard).

	While Jackie and V hide, Saburo gets murdered by Yorinobu in front of them; Arasaka ~~guards~~ discover them fleeing the scene~~, jump to conclusions~~ and attack, with ~~camera's~~ showing V's and Jackie's faces all over the news. Their Netrunner gets her brain fried by Arasaka security, Jackie is badly wounded, and the case containing and maintaining the biochip is badly damaged as the two of them ~~are forced to~~ sneak/fight their way out of the hotel~~, evading~~ Adam Smasher and Arasaka guards. Jackie dies from blood loss as the two of them escape via an AI-controlled car, forcing V to implant the biochip into themself to prevent it degrading into uselessness.

Jackie dies from blood loss as the two of them escape via an AI-controlled car, forcing V to implant the biochip into themself to prevent it degrading into uselessness.

	In a twist no-one could've seen coming (considering the fucking trailers spoiled it), Dexter promptly betrays V to save his own hide from Arasaka's manhunt for Saburo's killers, shooting them in the head and dumping their body in a landfill. Unfortunately for him, the Relic manages to resurrect V despite what would otherwise be fatal brain damage, and an Arasaka bodyguard who didn't buy Yorinobu's bullshit ~~drags~~ V ~~headfirst out of the grave so that V's Ripperdoc can fix them~~ up. (While he initially intends to turn them in to Arasaka, the guy changes his tune pretty quickly when Yorinobu has cyborg assassins try to kill him too.)

After V's Ripperdoc friend patches them up, he has bad news for ''V''.

	From there, the main plot shifts from making a name for yourself on the streets of Night City to V's desperate search for a way to stop their personality being overwritten by that of Silverhand, with various side quests allowing you to expand upon V's relations with Johnny (slowly changing him from 'pissed at being dead and stuck in your gradually-degrading brain' to 'Vitriolic, sarcastic, but somewhat friendly voice in your head'), work with the second-biggest Nomad clan, attempt to find a treatment for Cyberpsychosis beyond 'Shoot them until they stop moving', take jobs from Night City's collection of Fixers to make a name for yourself, catch up with several surviving members of Cyberpunk 2020's old guard of top-tier NPCs and romance a few from the aforementioned groups.

	Unfortunately, the game that was released in 2020 was...politely put, a mess. The vanilla version was rife with bugs and glitches to such a degree that it'd make a Bethesda game blush and develop inferiority complexes - characters would t-pose, objects would deform/float up/vanish and quests would become impossible to finish, and all of this would be a regular occurence. The PC version was the least bad of the bunch while the PS and XBOX versions got so bad that CDPR started offering refunds for the buyers on that platform.

	The reason why this had happened was multifold - As expected and fittingly ironic given the [[Cyberpunk]] setting, it was found that the management pushed the development of the game at least a year ahead of what it should have been and also crunched the dev team hard. Then a whistleblower revealed how the Q&A and playtesting was done by a scummy and exploitative Romanian firm called Quantic Lab that had the testers prioritize minor bugs for the sake of numbers instead of major ones that lead to the game's broken state. Lastly, the game was arguably a partial victim of the truly massive hype that was generated beforehand with people expecting a borderline life-changing experience instead of an (at most & best) a very well made genre contribution similar to Deus Ex.

Johnny decides to unfuck his life now that he's been given a second chance, and performs a few minor acts of kindness before leaving Night City forever.

	Plot-wise, the game leads on from ''Firestorm'': the Fourth Corporate War happened, destroying Arasaka Tower with a mini-nuke, but [[Cyberpunk v3]]'s events never came to fruition (and thank fuck for that). Soon after this, the legendary Netrunner Rache Bartmoss (one of several God-tier NPCs from the original CP2020) released DataKrash onto the Net as an effort to break the corporate stranglehold on it, royally fucking up the internet and screwing Corpo and Cyberpunk alike over - with the Net now a [[Warp\| jumbled hellscape of rogue AIs, Black ICE programs, and sanity-sandblasting corrupted code]], every gang, corporation, and government promptly begins establishing their own mini-internets where they can rule without any oversight ([[Irony\|the exact ''opposite'' of what Bartmoss wanted.]]).

	Fast forward past [[Cyberpunk RED]] to 2077. Arasaka has developed a biochip known as the Relic, which can effectively 'back up' a person's mind as pure data. V, the player character, and their fellow mercenary/cyberpunk Jackie get contracted by the Fixer Dexter DeShawn to steal it on behalf of contractor Evelyn Parker. Unsurprisingly, [[Not As Planned\|shit goes south ~~once they actually get it~~]]: it's in a prestigious hotel penthouse owned by Yorinobu Arasaka, oldest son of [[BBEG\|Saburo Arasaka]] (Bill Gates + Japan's Emperor in all but blood, i.e.: ''the'' really big cheese), and the old git's decided to pay Yorinobu a surprise house visit because Yorinobu himself stole the Relic from his dad. Worse, Yorinobu's bodyguard is Arasaka's best hitman, Adam Smasher (the setting's human cyborg equivalent of the [[Tarrasque]]).		Fast forward past [[Cyberpunk RED]] to 2077.

Worse, Yorinobu's bodyguard is Arasaka's best hitman, Adam Smasher (the setting's human cyborg equivalent of the [[Tarrasque]]).

	While Jackie and V hide, Saburo gets murdered by Yorinobu in front of them; Arasaka guards discover them fleeing the scene, jump to conclusions and attack, with camera's showing V's and Jackie's faces all over the news. Their Netrunner gets her brain fried by Arasaka security, Jackie is badly wounded, and the case containing and maintaining the biochip is badly damaged as the two of them are forced to sneak/fight their way out of the hotel, evading Adam Smasher and ~~Militech~~. Jackie dies from blood loss as the two of them escape via an AI-controlled car, forcing V to implant the biochip into ~~themselves~~ to prevent it degrading into uselessness.

	In a twist no-one could've seen coming (considering the fucking trailers spoiled it), Dexter promptly betrays V to save his own hide from Arasaka's manhunt for Saburo's killers, shooting them in the head and dumping their body in a landfill. Unfortunately for him, the Relic manages to resurrect V despite what would otherwise be fatal brain damage, and an Arasaka bodyguard who didn't buy Yorinobu's bullshit drags V ~~off~~ to turn them in ~~for Saburo's death~~, ~~only changing their mind~~ when Yorinobu has cyborg assassins try to kill him too. ~~V gets them both taken to a Ripperdoc to be healed.~~		In a twist no-one could've seen coming (considering the fucking trailers spoiled it), Dexter promptly betrays V to save his own hide from Arasaka's manhunt for Saburo's killers, shooting them in the head and dumping their body in a landfill.
