Launch Trailer For ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Details Free DLC; Hideo Kojima Discovered as Easter Egg During Gameplay

It’s a triple dose of Cyberpunk 2077, as not only has CD Projekt RED released the game’s launch trailer prior to its release tomorrow, but the trailer has a somewhat-hidden message regarding the game’s eventual DLC. Not only that, but GameInformer found a little something in the game where you can have a conversation with Hideo Kojima!

First things first is the launch trailer, which does the job of introducing the world and story of Cyberpunk 2077 to players, including the game’s protagonist, V (whomever that might be for you). This is where CD Projekt RED gets sneaky. PCGamer first made the discovery at the end of the trailer (around the 2:09 mark), where you get a frame of text explaining that the team had “learned a lot” from their work on The Witcher 3‘s DLC, and are planning “substantial story-driven content” for the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC as a result. We can expect the first bits of DLC “in early 2021”.

As for the other Easter Egg, it was known that influencers were going to be showing up in cameos in the game, and among them was Death Stranding‘s Hideo Kojima. As to where exactly you’d find him was the question. Luckily, GameInformer did the work to find him during the main storyline during “The Heist” quest.

During the quest, you’ll end up at a hotel, where you inform your partner that you’ll meet them up in the hotel room. Before you go there, if you wander around the hotel itself and into the bar, you’ll Kojima lounging around in a booth, having a drink and talking to a few people. Sporting an Akira-inspired jacket, Kojima’s in-game character’s name is Oshima, and he’s listening to some movie pitches when you see him at the bar. You can even interact with him.

Cyberpunk 2077 launches December 10 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of the game are also due in the future.

Final Post-launch Update “Master of Fate” Now Available for ‘Lords of the Fallen’ [Trailer]

CI Games and HEXWORKS have today launched v1.5 for their dark fantasy action-RPG Lords of the Fallen, titled “Master of Fate”. This latest content update for Lords of the Fallen is available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series, and delivers the final milestone of the game’s post-launch roadmap in the form of the advanced game modifier system.

Master of Fate imbues power directly into players’ hands, allowing them to fully customise their game experience. Among the seven different modifiers available to players, for example, are randomised enemy spawns and loot drops, and an Ironman mode. These three modifiers effectively turn Lords of the Fallen into a roguelite.

“We’d like to thank the many players who have embarked upon Mournstead since we launched six months ago; their belief in our vision has been a real driving force for us,” explains Saul Gascon, Executive Producer and Head of Studio, HEXWORKS. “In response to their support for the game, we expanded the period of live support for Lords of the Fallen with an ambitious post-launch roadmap. This was built around four significant content updates, alongside numerous smaller releases, which included tons of new content and quality of life patches. Reaching v1.5 with the Master of Fate update and its genuinely groundbreaking modifier system marks the completion of that roadmap, making the Lords of the Fallen experience the best it’s ever been.”

Master of Fate features a wide range of modifiers, enabling players to tweak and customise playthroughs for a truly unique experience every time, including:

  • Random enemy spawn: Every encounter becomes completely unpredictable with every playthrough, with any of the 70+ enemy types capable of appearing at any point
  • Random loot spawn: Players will never know what item they’ll pick up next, as any weapon, piece of armour, or item can be randomly found throughout Mournstead
  • Ironman: For the ultimate “git gud” challenge; get slain in Umbral with this modifier enabled and players will have to start their journey again, albeit with items and character level intact.
  • Withered healing: Health items and spells will only replenish as withered healing, which can only be regained fully by dealing damage to enemies, encouraging aggressive play to survive.
  • Mob density modifier: Adjust the density of enemy mobs encountered through the journey across Mournstead in both Axiom and Umbral

If all of that wasn’t enough, To celebrate the launch of Master of Fate, PlayStation players can currently enjoy a 50% discount on the game for a limited time, while both standard and deluxe editions of Lords of the Fallen will be available on Steam at a 50% discount starting on April 29th as part of CI Games’ Steam Publisher Sale.
