'Cyberpunk 2077' Adds Official Mod Support, Now Anything Is Possible

'Cyberpunk 2077' Adds Official Mod Support, Now Anything Is Possible

CD Projekt Red has brought official modding support to Cyberpunk 2077, ironing out the creases that modders have found while creating custom content and technical tweaks for the game.

It's pretty prompt on the part of the studio, as it had stated that it wanted to "support the modding community in the future," which is a woolly window of expectation for inventive players. And, the modkit is slightly sparse when compared to that of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, containing metadata, ArchiveDump, TweakDump and TweakDB IDs. It's a start, in any event. The studio has also assured that the "tools will be continuously updated alongside with game patches to ensure compatibility."

Mods for Cyberpunk 2077 are pretty prolific already, and not all of them act to glue bits and bobs back together to make a fully-functioning game. Players felt like there weren't enough cyberware customisations for the hero of the game, which was at odds with the whole theme of Cyberpunk 2077. So, there's a chrome body for V, which gives her a very menacing and inhuman look, or a plastic body for V, coating her skin in a shiny polymer like she's a Barbie. The Cyberarms Library mod also has some very cool attachments for the character's limbs, from low-tech skeletal metal to sleek carbon fibre ones that end in "fingerless gloves" across the hands. After all, it's 2077! The sky's the limit, or what is left of the sky at that point in the Anthropocene.

Honestly, though, I am surprised that the official modding support is out now. Modders were getting along fine with the state of the game before the tools were released, and I would have imagined that CD Projekt Red had bigger fish to fry. These gill-bearing aquatic craniate animals include the numerous bugs in Cyberpunk 2077, as more and more pop up with every patch, and the two class-action lawsuits it is fending off. "CD Projekt shareholders have an opportunity to recover their investment losses," read the release from the New York's Rosen Law Firm, which arrived at CD Projekt Red's door in December, and the second suit filed in January is similar in subject and scope.
