If you haven’t explored Night City yet or did at launch and swore never to go back, now is a great time to revisit it - asIdris Elba said: “The game is fixed.” Not only is Cyberpunk 2077 now better than ever in terms of pure quality, it’s also now enhanced by theCyberpunk 2077 2.1 updateand the acclaimedCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyexpansion. The DLC likely isn’t included in the trial but it’s still a great opportunity to get started.

It’s probably a good idea to get familiar with the goings on in Night City before the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, akaProject Orion, releases. The game is still in the"conceptual phase"as of early this year but is being designed by the samepeople who saved the game with Phantom Liberty- so you know it’s in good hands.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
