History WMG / Cyberpunk2077

Similar to the import save feature from Videogame/TheWitcher3WildHunt and Videogame/TheWalkingDeadTelltale, if you have a save file from Cyberpunk 2077, you'll be able to import the save file and carry on the key decisions, V made during 2077 into the narrative of the sequel. This would allow each player to carry on the story of their playthrough from the first game and continue it into the second video game of the Cyberpunk series with each decision having different impacts on the sequel's main storyline.

What happened to V in the Tower ending is very similar to what NUSA did with Songbird. Separate them from their loved ones, promise them a cushy job and bright future and make them dependent on NUSA for their survival. It's never actually specified if NUSA actually used Songbird's cure to help V or whether they simply did the surgery manually. If they separate V from their old life and take away their chroming capabilty, then V will have very little choice but to go back to Langley, as living in NC without chrome is basically a death sentence. They can even promise a "miracle cure" if V swears to become an agent for them.

On the downside, this might segregate humanity even further into nobles who get to use cyberware and commoners who can not.

** Confirmed: the hotel is part of the much larger Dogtown district, unlocked by completing the first story mission of ''Phantom Liberty''. [[spoiler:You infiltrate the hotel on two missions, where it's revealed that most of the hotel is dilapidated and unfinished but the top floors are pure decadence.]]

** Confirmed: the stadium is a major location of the first story mission of ''Phantom Liberty'' and can be revisited later.

** [[spoiler:Averted hard. In fact, all of V's love interests drift away in the new Tower ending, which is just cruel.]]

[[WMG: The sequel will deal with Cynosure.]]

The very power that made Songbird a force of nature, both from the [=AIs=] she hosted and her own egomania from her netrunning skills, twisted and warped her mind until she no longer had any moral fiber, causing her to use and betray everyone around her, while everyone in turn sought to chain her in a birdhouse for various reasons.\\

[[WMG: In 'The Tower' ending, you just handed the NUSA the secret to conquering the world.]]

Whether or not this is a good thing depends on your interpretation of the right to bear arms.\\
V has become a case study for a surgery to ''permanently remove a person's ability to use military-grade cyberware''. In short, a means of easily and permanently crippling the human race from using high-level weapons while preserving their general humanity. By applying this to the majority of the population, they can forcefully halt the world's addiction to chrome, ending the constant gang wars equipped with disproportionately escalating arms and even non-lethally neutralizing cyberpsychos by taking away the very weapons that make them a threat.\\

* "Path of Glory": Pretty self explanatory; V gets a deal from Mr Blue Eyes to do the information heist in exchange for a solution for their illness.

Depending on the lifepath choosen at the beginning and the chosen ending, V will have two different conversation options in some situations (in the same way the lifepath gives you prompts in some scenes in the base game).

** Confirmed! The spaceport can be visited as soon as you install ''Phantom Liberty''.

** Confirmed: the hotel is part of the much larger Dogtown district, unlocked by completing the first story mission of ''PL''.

** Confirmed: the stadium is a major location of the first story mission of ''PL'' and can be revisited later.

[[WMG: We will get more Takemura content in one way or another]]
Takemura was a huge, unexpected [[EnsembleDarkHorse hit with the fans]], so it wouldn't be suprising if [=CDProjekt=] added more content for him in one way or another, anything ranging from a side mission to a full-blown romance arc in a larger [=DLC=].

About half of Pacifica is currently gated off and unaccesible. It's also the smallest district with least things to do. This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mihlFN5Lx3A video]] shows that a lot of Pacifica that's beyond the gate is actually pretty finished, including a stadion that's falling apart. There are also a few conversations that the player can find about people going beyond the wall into a so called "Combat Zone", where a Militech Bunker can supposedly be found. It will probably be implemented as a free [=DLC=] with a few minor missions like cyberpsycho sightings or a short chain of sidequests with strong enemies for the players who finished the main storyline.

[[WMG: The first major expansion will expand on the mind control plotline from Sandra Dorsett and Jefferson Peralez's sidequests]]

The game will add something like shaking hands that make it more difficult to reload, or make the consummable items that aren't boosters restore less health, both as GameplayAndStoryIntegration and to make the game more challenging for the players, since the [=DLC=] takes place post the main story. For players who don't want the added challenge, there will be a consummable that mitigates the negative effects temporarily.

In V's ending, they've lost their powers, their reputation, and even some of their friends, but they're no longer bound to an endless thirst for glory or the same dark path Songbird took. Liberty came at a steep price, but that liberty is ''real''.

Whether or not this is a good thing depends on your interpretation of weapon control.

[[spoiler:Should V allign with Reed in the Phantom Liberty mission known as "Firestarter", they will follow Songbird to a Cynosure facility, which is the Militech (and by extention NUSA) version of Soulkiller. We also know that Myers is hell-bent on keeping NUSA on top through continuous research into the Blackwall, which ties back to Project Cynosure. It's highly likely that Arasaka will not survive into the sequel and if it does, it will most likely be much, much weaker.]]

Save for "The Devil" ending; V's actions in 2077 have shaken the foundations of Night City and the world of Cyberpunk at large. V may have finally destroying Arasaka once and for all, or crippled them indefinitely, but V has most certainly created a power vacum. Other Corporations will inevitably take their place, causing more strife on the streets of Night City. V/Johnny V will likely feel guilty for what they've caused and will return to attempt to write their wrongs from the previous game. However, it's likely that their return will become more of an omen than a prospect of salvation, as the roads to hell are always paved with good intentions. Especially so in the DarkFuture of Cyberpunk. And if the "Temperance" ending is canon, this'll be even more true as Rogue and Panam are the only ones who're aware Johnny took over V's body and will not be happy about Johnny V's return.

In this incarnation, the megacorporations of 2077 discover a way to travel across dimensions. Inevitably, their insatiable conquest of exploitation leads them to the planet that the Witcher series takes place on, where they immediately set up ties with Nilfgaard and Emperor Jan Calveit, trading cyberware for magic (which explains what he did to the zombie-like helmeted soldiers). The player character is a RichIdiotWithNoDayJob whose parents were big-shots with the megacorporation that is now running Nilfgaard behind the scenes, and decides they liked the idea of augmented super-hunters going up against dragons and demon lords. Using their cybernetics, they sign up with the Nilfgaard-sponsored Cyber-Witchers - and immediately learn to regret choosing such an underrated, thankless, suicidal, and bleak occupation in this [s]exploited[/s]developing new world.
