Cyberpunk 2077 gets dual-wielding weapon in new update
The world of Night City is perpetually dark, but lately, the glow emanating from the digital world of gaming has been brighter than ever. With the second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners having landed on Netflix, the intense, visceral atmosphere of Night City has captured imaginations globally. But the story doesn’t stop there; the developers behind the universe are gearing up for a massive technological overhaul that promises to redefine how players interact with Night City.
CD Projekt Red has announced that the game Cyberpunk 2077 will receive a significant update this week, titled the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Update (2.5), set for release on October 22, 2026. This patch is not just a cosmetic fix; it’s a deep dive into redefining the core gameplay experience, promising exciting new mechanics that players have been clamoring for.
The biggest draw of this upcoming update centers on revolutionary changes to combat and character customization. Players can now look forward to extensive Cyberware customization, allowing for deeper personalization of their cybernetic enhancements. More excitingly, the update introduces a completely new, dynamic dual-wielding playstyle. This means players will gain the ability to wield multiple weapons simultaneously, offering a fresh and tactical dimension to the chaotic combat of Night City.
The anticipation is palpable among the community, especially concerning the new combat potential. Many players have longed for a level of freedom in combat that allows for more explosive action. While prior approximations, like the Mantis Blade Cyberware, offered some dual-wielding capability, the expectation now is for a full integration of this new mechanic across the entire game.
The developers are eager to reveal the full scope of the changes, and they plan to do so during a live reveal event. Fans can tune in on CD Projekt Red’s official channels, including their Twitch and YouTube streams, as well as Steam, on October 21, 2026, for a closer look at everything the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Update (2.5) has to offer.
This update positions itself as the next major evolution for Night City, promising deeper immersion and significantly enhanced combat possibilities. Whether you are planning to dive back into the dystopia or explore the new narrative of the Edgerunners, get ready—the next chapter of Night City is about to get a serious upgrade.
