Cyberpunk 2077 has had a major overhaul thanks to its recent 2.0 update. Smuggled in with the bigger changes is an action-shooter arcade game starring lovable terrorist, Johnny Silverhand.

Cyberpunk 2077’s long-awaited Patch 2.0 has nearly completed the game’s redemption arc. Released in preparation for the upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion, the DLC is the final piece of the puzzle.

The 2.0 update has fundamentally altered Cyberpunk 2077’s perks and progression systems and added a host of new gameplay mechanics. The changes are so drastic that fans of the title say Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 feels like a whole new game.

While the core game feels vastly different from launch Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red has gone the extra mile and actually included a whole new game. Only a few days into the patch, Reddit user u/OkGuide2802 discovered Arasaka Tower 3D.

Cyberpunk 2077 is no stranger to the addition of arcade games of course. The last major update brought us Roach Race, a basic pixel-art game starring Geralt of Rivia’s horse.

The 2.0 patch notes also revealed the addition of a new run-and-gun sidescroller called Trauma Drama but Arasaka Tower 3D is something different. The Doom-like 3D shooter is a secret arcade game that lets you relive Johnny Silverhand’s attack on the titular tower.
