The $139 Deluxe Edition comes with all that and more, including full plastic miniature versions of all enemies and other characters and myriad other upgrades. CD Projekt Red deployed a similar strategy with The Witcher: Old World board game.
All stretch goals were also reached within this short amount of time, meaning players can also look forward to a new game mode, additional weapons, better quality products, more miniatures, and a new mission.
CD Projekt Red is expanding its Cyberpunk 2077 universe, which is adaptated itself from a tabletop role-playing game, in myriad ways. Not only is a full sequel to the beloved game coming, a live action project is in the works and CD Projekt Red also confirmed that more animated projects akin to Cyberpunk Edgerunners are on the way too.
