From Cyberpunk 2077 unleashing an action-packed trailer for its Ultimate Edition to celebrate its launch to Rockstar Games unveiling the first official footage from Grand Theft Auto VI, December will definitely already go down as one of the most important months of 2023 for the game industry.

CD Projekt Red refused to let the questionable initial release of its futuristic epic title tarnish the legacy that the studio had been building for itself for years with exceptional games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, as it completely turned things around by mostly fixing the overall experience.

To get the fans even more hyped up for the ultimate package, CDPR ensured that the launch trailer showcases the absolute best aspects of the base game, the excellent expansion Phantom Liberty, and, of course, the surprise Update 2.1.

CD Projekt Red released the official launch trailer for Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition a few hours ago, announcing that the complete package is now available for purchase on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with almost all major bugs and issues totally fixed.

Furthermore, CDPR clarified that the new version of the game can be bought both physically and digitally, catering to all types of player preferences so everyone can “experience every story Night City has to offer” in all its futuristically violent and shady glory.

Moreover, the action-packed launch trailer brings together both Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba, who have been a part of the journey at different points, with Reeves playing the iconic Johnny Silverhand in the base game and Elba joining the universe as Solomon Reed, with his first appearance being in the Phantom Liberty expansion.

New visitors of Night City can step into the shoes of V and witness the epic tale for the very first time exactly how it was meant to be experienced by the developers without all of the game-breaking bugs, as Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition offers all three major stages of the dystopian journey.

This includes the base game and the “spy-thriller” DLC Phantom Liberty, both of which have been properly optimized and fixed thanks to the massive Update 2.0 that was released earlier this year. CD Projekt Red invites players to shape their own “Legends” in its ambitious world, and there seems to be no better way to do that than with the latest edition.

The Ultimate Edition launch trailer is created using the very best gameplay footage from the universe until now, cutting and piecing together high octane, action-heavy moments and incorporating them with live-action sequences of Reeves and Elba, both of whom narrate their characters’ most iconic lines.

The Explosive Launch Trailer Is Pure Intense Hype

Right from the very beginning, CD Projekt Red holds nothing back as the Ultimate Edition launch trailer starts off with a shadowy Solomon Reed (Elba) looking as fresh as ever in his signature trench coat and, of course, shooting an unlucky enemy.

From there on out, things get fiery, intense, hyped, and heated really quickly, with soldiers jumping into a building that is literally on fire and the in-game president, Myers, getting hit by an explosion. Considering how action-packed the world of Cyberpunk 2077 is, the explosions do not just stop there, because that is directly followed by a police car meeting a less than ideal fate.

The launch trailer showcases Night City’s futuristic dystopian scapes as it tries to prove just how much it has technically improved since its inception three years ago. It truly is an unmatched “Revival” that has not been witnessed in the video game industry in a long time, and CD Projekt Red is adamant in showing that its universe is finally worthy of an extensive visit.

Along with Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, the developer and publisher also unleashed yet another update called 2.1 for the title, which brings a lot of cool new features and “hotly anticipated gameplay elements” into the mix.

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently in the best state it has ever been in, especially with the releases of Update 2.0 and 2.1, and combined with the huge Phantom Liberty expansion, the Ultimate Edition seems like the perfect route to experience the wonders of Night City.
