The 2.0 update forCyberpunk 2077is out, and it contains a ton of changes big and small to CD Projekt Red’s RPG world. But hidden away in2077is a reference just forCyberpunk: Edgerunnersfans, and an especially emotional one at that.
It’s no surprise that, after the massive popularity of the Studio Trigger and Netflix anime, CD Projekt would find a way to work the world ofEdgerunnersmore into its digital Night City inCyberpunk 2077. Heck, we’ve already seen a few additions, ranging from a special gun toDavid’s signature jacket. With the 2.0 update, though, CD Projekt Red put in a tribute to not just one or two, but several different characters who all madeCyberpunk: Edgerunnerswhat it is.
(Spoilers will follow forCyberpunk: Edgerunners, so go watch it if you haven’t yet. Seriously, it’svery good.)
To find these tributes, head tothe Columbariumon the east side of Night City. It’s the site where NC denizens can purchase niches, to commemorate the dead. ThroughoutCyberpunk 2077, different characters who die will get their own site here, with loving messages left behind. And if you’ve seenCyberpunk: Edgerunners, you’re probably ahead of me on where this is going.
Asspotted by playersaround social media,Edgerunnerslead David Martinez now has another official tribute inCyberpunk 2077in the Columbarium. Head to the main entrance and walk directly forward, towards the dead-end with several text inscriptions all around, and you’ll spot David among them.
The inscription reads: “You didn’t take me to the moon, but you were there with me.” Feels like a pretty obvious confirmation that Lucy left this tribute for David. And it’s not the only one, either.
Scattered around the Columbarium, both near David’s location and other parts among the many rows, are tributes to otherEdgerunnerscharacters. I found Gloria Martinez, Kiwi, Rebecca, Maine, and a bunch of the crew. All seem to be written by Lucy, too.
While this isn’t a confirmation that Lucy’s running around somewhere in the interactive world ofCyberpunk 2077, it at least leaves a lasting mark ofEdgerunnerson the video game. And a pretty somber one, too. It’s aterrible time for rain, while I’m sitting here, writing this.
Whether more secret references toEdgerunnersare hidden away inCyberpunk 20772.0, we’ll have to see, Thepatch notes that confirmedthere was an update to the niches at the Columbarium also tease that “more secrets” are waiting to be discovered in Night City.
Players will have to discover them. Given that there’s a new update out now and a great expansion right around the corner, there probably won’t be a shortage of secret-hunters on the prowl.
