Become an Edgerunner in 2077.
Much of Cyberpunk 2077‘s resurgence can be put down to its anime spin-off Edgerunners. Following the exploits of David Martinez and his chooms, audiences both old and new have fallen in love with the Netflix show, encouraging many to take to Night City themselves. And now, you can get the best of both worlds.
A new mod for Cyberpunk 2077 lets you explore locations from the anime, and invite your own in-game pals to hang out with you. ‘Night City Interactions – Watson Drinks and Edgerunners locales’ adds ten areas from the show, and makes it possible to invite Jackie, Judy, Panam, River and Kerry to grab a drink. Each new area is inspired by an episode of Edgerunners, with the mod’s creator focussing on memorable moments from David’s story.
“[This mod] adds a number of bar drinking spots to the game where V can grab a drink, maybe even share one”, says the creator, Nexus Mods user Deceptious. “Visit some of the locations from the Edgerunners anime, find spots where you can sit or lean from some of the iconic locations visited in the show.”
Some of the areas that let you can hang with your chooms are in the base game, such as Tom’s Diner, Lizzie’s, and Afterlife. But the mod also makes it possible to chill at places you’ll recognize from Edgerunners: the Ho-Oh club, Kabuki Roundabout kiosk, Riot, and the NID Docks stall. There’s more on top of this, so head over to the mod’s Nexus page for a full breakdown of what Deceptious has added.
Of course, not all Edgerunners content in 2077 has to be modded in. Right now, you can nab David’s jacket and Rebecca’s shotgun in-game. You can even find a BD headset that shows you a short clip from the show. Given its immense popularity, it’s possible that more Edgerunners nods will be added to the game, although CDPR is remaining tight-lipped for now.
The next big expansion will be Phantom Liberty, Cyberpunk’s first (and apparently only) story expansion. This is expected sometime in 2023.
