Following the popularity of the series, an Edgerunners fan used a mod to add the mansion to Cyberpunk 2077.
Now what CD Project RED has officially announced its plans to develop a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 (an adaptation of the Cyberpunk 2020 rok game that centers fifty-seven years later in the dystopian city of Night City, California), the spirits of the players have risen again. Therefore, it is logical that before the news, the fan community is wondering what the sequel will be like -although it already has an expansion, Phantom Liberty- which will be released in 2023 for PC and other consoles.
In this sense, not much is known about the saga yet, beyond its code name and an attempt by the franchise to consolidate this series of titles. ‘Project Orion’ is the code name by which the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 is known so far., although its official title will be revealed later. Absolutely nothing of the title has been published. There is no logo, no images or anything that gives a clue about the game, except for a brief description: “Sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 that will demonstrate the strength and true potential of the Cyberpunk universe.”
Taking advantage of this series of unknowns and concerns that the mystery of the new installment brought with it, the players have done nothing but keep their expectations on the sidelines, so some of them have set to work to make their own metaprojects in Cyberpunk 2077 And the truth is that they are quite creative, but what are we talking about?
This is what the Edgerunners mansion would look like in the world of Cyberpunk 2077
A fan of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has transported the iconic mansion to the Cyberpunk 2077 universe through a new and impressive mod. Similarly, this is hardly surprising as a new patch and the debut of the Netflix spin-off series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners have greatly boosted the popularity of Cyberpunk 2077, with CD Projekt Red recently confirming that it has sold 20 million already. of copies so far.
To give us an idea of the impact that the series has had, until just over a couple of weeks ago – prior to the series’ premiere – Steam records showed that the number of simultaneous players in Cyberpunk 2077 was around 16,000; and, after the release date, had reached 37,000. Likewise, Thanks to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Cyberpunk 2077 is among the top 10 most popular games on Steam.
In case you missed it, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is the original anime series distributed by Netflix in September 2022. As we mentioned before, this spin-off of the Cyberpunk 2077 video game corresponds in turn to the adaptation of the Cyberpunk 2020 role-playing game, created by Mike Pondsmith. The anime’s story is set one year before the events of Cyberpunk 2077; In it, a young man named David Martinez tells his own story of survival on the streets of Night City, the city of the future that stands out for its technology and passion for body modification. With nothing to lose, he chooses to become an edgerunner, a mercenary known as a cyberpunk.
In said series there is an iconic mansion that any fan could recognize, and this player decided to bring it to the video game. To make it, uses a mod called V’s Edgerunners Mansion – Apartment DLC, is available for PC and “allows you to purchase and access V’s mansion,” while adding “new interactions for sitting, sleeping, cloakroom, and showering” (according to the description). You can download it at NexusMods.
Although the process to do it has been somewhat simple in general terms, it should be mentioned that it is not really cheap at all. For example, to add V’s Edgerunners’ mansion to Cyberpunk 2007 on PC you will need AU$150,000 in-game if your reputation is below 30, however those with a higher reputation will get a 50% discount. But first of all, you have to make sure that you have installed the latest version of the Cyber Engine Tweaks mod to run the Edgerunners Mansion mod.
So the monetary requirements are high enough that not everyone decides to bring such an impressive mansion to the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, as if it were a timeline between the two worlds. But it hasn’t stopped this dedicated gamer from giving us a taste of what mods can do to our favorite games.
