A new story flickers to life in Night City
Night City has never been short on stories, but Update 2.5 gives players a fresh reason to return to its neon-soaked streets. The launch trailer introduces a new prequel quest inspired by Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, inviting players to uncover another thread in the city’s tangled web of ambition and danger. The update builds on the world of Cyberpunk 2077 and its animated counterpart, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, while keeping the focus firmly on a new Night City adventure.
Edgerunners echoes meet a new quest
The quest’s prequel framing offers an intriguing bridge between the game and the Edgerunners universe. Rather than simply revisiting familiar material, the update promises another story to discover, drawing on the setting that made the series and game such natural companions. For fans tracking the franchise across formats, Netflix Tudum offers a window into the streaming side of the world, while IGN’s Cyberpunk 2077 coverage follows the game’s continuing evolution.

Dual wielding changes the rhythm of a fight
Story is only part of the update’s appeal. Dual wielding adds a new combat playstyle, promising a different rhythm for players who want to take on Night City’s dangers with a more aggressive approach. The announcement also points to additional secrets scattered across the city, making exploration part of the reward. That mix of action and discovery is central to CD Projekt Red’s ongoing Cyberpunk updates and the sprawling open-world design discussed by Rock Paper Shotgun.
More platforms are on the horizon
Edgerunners 2 Update 2.5 is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with support for Nintendo Switch 2 coming soon. That broad release gives more players a chance to revisit the city, pursue the new quest, and try out the revised combat option. Platform details are available through the official Cyberpunk 2077 site, while Nintendo’s official site is the place to follow news about its hardware and games.
Night City always has another secret
The trailer’s promise is refreshingly direct: a new story unfolds in Night City. Between the prequel quest, the dual-wielding playstyle, and more hidden discoveries, this update offers a compact invitation to step back into a world built for detours. Players looking to pick up the game can find it at GameStop, while Cyberpunk 2077’s official website provides more information about the game and its updates.
