Furthermore, Phantom Liberty introduces a plethora of fresh content, including quests, gigs, and gig types, as well as new vehicles, cyberware, and weapons. To enhance gameplay variety, a brand new Relic skill tree has been added, enabling players to craft their own unique playstyle.
CD Projekt Red also recently unveiled their new Ray Tracing: Overdrive mode for PC; yet another reason to be excited about the expansion.
