Hideo Kojima has not shied away from CD Projekt Red’sCyberpunk 2077. The esteemed producer featured insome awesome promotional material for the titleleading up to launch andmay or may not feature somewhere within the game. The synergy between the two doesn’t stop there either. First revealed today byIGN, before appearing on the Kojima Productions Twitter account, is a crossover betweenCyberpunk 2077and Kojima’s most recent title,Death Stranding.
The crossover, which is only available on thePC version ofDeath Stranding, adds a range of new items, cosmetics and abilities for Sam Porter Bridges to wield.
Like in Cyberpunk, Porter Bridges will gain a new hacking ability. This ability can stun enemies with Odradeks, as well as being able to disable MULE sensor poles and enemy vehicles. The game also adds a Reverse Trike, much like the one Kojima was seen posing on in the promotional material, a range of fashion items and an equipable “Johnny Arm”, reminiscent of the one seen on Johnny Silverhand inCyberpunk.
The update is available for the PC version for free right now and Kojima Productions has confirmed that anybody who doesn’t own the game yet can pick it up with a 50% discount.
Kojima Productions just turned five. In the lead up to the studio’s anniversary, the official Twitter accounttweeted a cryptic message suggesting that big announcements would be comingfrom themselves. Unfortunately for excited fans, these big announcements turned out to be nothing more thana range of new merch and a video clip of Kojimawinning his BAFTA.
Cyberpunk 2077’slaunch, for better or worse, has been one of this year’s biggest in gaming. The title securedeight million pre-orders before the game came outandturned a profit on day one. While the game was commercially very successful, critically it was a different story. Although thePCversion of the title launched to plenty of fanfare, thePS4andXbox Oneversions of the game were completely broken. This lead the CD Projekt Red team toissue apologies,offer refundsandlose $1 billion. That’s not even considering the fact thatthe game caused seizures due to certain light patterns.
