Secret Witcher 3 swords in Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 Update
When Cyberpunk 2077 rolled out its surprise 2.5 update, players were already buzzing about the new dual-wielding combat mechanics and fresh ways to customize V’s look. But amidst the expected additions, the real delight came when players discovered that developer CD Projekt Red had woven in a secret tapestry of items drawn directly from the beloved world of The Witcher 3.
This unexpected dose of Geralt-esque flair turned the update into a treasure hunt for fans. The new cosmetics allow players to inject classic fantasy into Night City, featuring items like the Boar Carver, a small knife reminiscent of Geralt’s trophy-taking tool, and the stylish Sihil Sword, complete with ancient writing and spiky rivets.
The surprise didn’t end there. CDPR also included items from The Witcher 3‘s expansion, Songs of the Past. Players could snag The Professor’s Spectacles, a mask from the Hearts of Stone expansion, and the Ursine Jacket and Ursine Pants, both based on the Bear School gear.
How do players access these coveted items? The secret was tucked away in V’s apartment, delivered via a text message from Arianne, mirroring the method used for other in-game drops. It was a delightful little easter egg that celebrated the deep lore shared between the two massive franchises.
Beyond these cosmetic surprises, the 2.5 patch delivered substantial gameplay enhancements, including the dual-wielding playstyle and expanded customization options. The update also deepened the narrative experience with new quests and side activities.
Simultaneously, the multimedia universe surrounding the game continued to expand. The Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners anime has officially moved into its second season, bringing a fresh cast to explore the dystopian future of Night City. Director Hideo Kojima even made a cheeky cameo, adding another layer of intrigue to the narrative.
CDPR’s cinematic ambitions also saw the project partnering with Paramount for a live-action film. Interestingly, the movie is set to tell a different story than the video game, ruling out a direct retelling of the game’s events. Fans remain hopeful, however, as actors like Kyle Gallner, who starred as V, have expressed interest in taking on the role in the upcoming adaptation.
While the focus was on the current experience, the chatter about future content remains alive. Despite CDPR previously ruling out DLC, the desire for further expansion remains strong among players. Meanwhile, the development pipeline is buzzing with other projects, including The Witcher 4 and the ongoing development of Cyberpunk 2, promising more worlds and stories for the future.
