In The Jacket, you and your friends will take control of any number of seven newly created characters, pregenerated for the mission. You’ll have the option to play as, for example, Maven here who is the Tech of the crew. You’ll also meet Hardpoint, the Solo of the group, Bluescreen the Netrunner, and many more.
Now so it’s said, you do not play as any characters from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime themselves. This whole adventure takes place after the ending of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (you already know what that means if you’ve seen it) and before the events of Cyberpunk 2077. I want to be sure to let you all know this, you’ll be getting to know some new faces here…we did promise some old ones though now didn’t we?
The Jacket begins with, as most jobs do, a call for a gig in the outskirts of Night City. You may recognize the fixer setting you up for this one…know a Dakota Smith? Well, she’ll be sending you and your crew to a self-storage joint to meet the client himself, a certain getaway driver. He goes by the name of Falco.
