Cyberpunk 2077’s redemption arc is complete with the release of Phantom Liberty and Razer’s got new Blade laptops and funky accessories available.

Phantom Liberty opens up a new narrative genre in Cyberpunk 2077

Okay, it’s time to play Cyberpunk 2077.

The long-awaited 2.0 patch has been released and the Phantom Liberty expansion builds on the scintillating world.

While the main storyline of the game is about seedy undergrounds and the struggle against corporate greed, Phantom Liberty puts you, as V, in the middle of a spy movie. And Idris Elba is your co-star.

The setup is very Escape From New York: the president of New USA is stuck in Dogtown and you get sent in to rescue her. Save the president, save your own life from the chip that’s going to kill you.

Dogtown is a stunning new environment that plays up on Cyberpunk’s neon and flash vision of the future,

And while the choice you made earlier in the game had an impact on the story you played, that’s even more true now, as your decisions are consequential.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is available now for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X.

Razer’s got a new Blade laptop, a partnership with Lambo, and gaming chairs

Last week, Razer, purveyor of fine gaming hardware and accessories, rolled out a bunch of new products and updates to existing things. It was all part of RazerCon, an annual celebration of gamers and the gear they love.

The Razer Blade lineup of performance laptops includes a range of sizes, including a new 14-inch model, up to screens that are 18 inches. The newest models have 16×10 aspect rations, providing a little more screen real estate.

The latest special edition is called Automobili, a collaboration with Lamborghini. This elite, 16-inch computer has an overclocked Intel chip with a dual-mode panel. And just like you can see into the inside of a Lamborghini car, so too can you see into the Automobili’s vapour chamber and get a glimpse of the Lambo-orange fan blades. Available for $5,000, only 150 of these units are available.

Razer also has chairs for gamers, designed with the idea that people will be sitting in them for long periods. The Fujin line is the latest addition and includes a mesh back for breathability.

What might be most appealing to the PC gaming community, though, is the line of mechanical keyboards, the Huntsman V3 Pro line.

There are three versions of this robust, keyboard designed for competition: full-size ($340), TKL (without the numeric pad) ($300), and mini (60% regular size) ($250). These keyboards have adjustable actuation, so you can set the sensitivity of the keys to your preference. And because the settings for the keyboard are saved on the device, not on a computer, you can plug the Huntsman into whatever rig you’re using.

Razer has also released a line of room lighting peripherals, Aether Lights, which extend the Chroma RGB lighting from the keyboards, mice, and gaming rigs and into the rooms we play in. From lamps to light strips to light bulbs, you can configure and operate this LED lighting from your mobile or your computer.

You can watch the RazerCon event, hosted by CEO Min-Liang Tan, below.
