Rogue AI DLC teased for Patch 1.3?! [General patch speculations]

+
I just discovered new backgrounds in Steam Store page.

Among them was background for interesting title: Rogue AI (created June 25)

This is what the Background looks like:

Could this be referring to the Mr Blue Eyes and his gang that Johnny Silverhand thought could be behind Peralez brainwashing?

Is this a sign there's going to be DLC missions as well possibly, perhaps linked with the Afterlife, that further cover up this story arc?


Also there was talk about DLC coming out before H2, and it was moved slightly after H2 in the roadmap it seems, so this could potentially be the initial first mission lineup we could get to explore, delving deep into the Rogue AI concept.

There's a great explanation video introducing Black Wall and the Rogue AI:




They've so far done over 10 test builds in just past 2 and half weeks which is really rapid pace of updates (every day after 12th of July one build if you discount weekends) considering they usually do just 1-2 in the final days.
(I will stop updating this post about patches)

It's just the art doesn't exist in game.

And it would be rather foolish for them to create a content backgrounds for things that they don't plan existing at any point.

Like I said it's being referenced briefly in

ALSO on top of these, there's multiple backgrounds of the black wall itself... which were introduced.

There's an unknown number calling to warn you not to mess with them:

The way the disruption is presented looks pretty damn similar to the graphics of the Rogue AI background.

Not even expecting a Glomar response from CDPR on the existence of this train, or any of the stations it will or won't stop at.
 
Even if this doesn't promise anything coming up in close future, at least it seems to verify the theories that many people (including me) have been speculating, that there was Rogue AI who was testing people and with Sandra Dorsett (the woman we rescue from very start of game) is key witness to these people testing mind control.

That the Peralez story line seems to now strongly indicate that Rogue AI is behind all of this. That the Black Wall is cracking and there's something that either has managed to come through or is going to come through.

Since this might now strongly be rogue AI, it seems like different entity than what Alt Cunningham motivations were, and thus seems like she wasn't at least behind everything in some of my theorizations, where I suggested she might be pulling the strings.

Of course it could be that the rogue AI itself isn't aware that it's being manipulated by Alt, but at least for now it seems like these is at least 2 different players behind the scenes.


Maybe we are going to be spending more time in cyberspace in the expansions as it would seem rather wasteful to just make a single scene with us going under the ice to enter it.

Maybe there could be new mechanics introduced where The Relic itself is somehow able to operate in the cyberspace and attack these rogue AI's.


In the interview with CD Projekt in the end (shown in the black wall video i posted) they were asked "will we be able to visit behind black wall", so this could be something they've considered as possibility.

What could be behind black wall? Some virtual version of the real world of Night City, a world shattered and infested with all sorts of viruses that manifest in skulls and all sorts of demonic shapes?

since CP77 took many references from the pop culture like Ready Player One did - i whish for an easteregg like meeting Keanu as Neo „the chosen one“ for a lil chat 😆 that would be pretty funny.

We definitely need a phone booth when we visit behind the black wall.

And if you take the phone you hear someone say "you are the one I've been looking for".

Once behind the black wall, Alt could say:
"V, I didn't tell you it would be easy, but that it would be the truth"
or
"If it was possible to go back, would you really want to ?"

Besides, the enemies who dodge the bullets really make me think of agents.
 
Definitely there could be some to allude to Matrix with sentence like:

"In the cyberspace, the normal physics don't apply. Your only limits are what your mind can do."
And then being put to situation where you try to jump over a big gap between buildings.

Maybe Alt could be escorting you there saying stuff like "follow me" and just flies on there, you look at the big fall and think to yourself "okay, fuck, I'm going to die", only to be surprised that you actually manage to make the giant leap.

"V, do you think it's air you breathing now ?"
Anyway, I'm sure, there will be something about Rogue AI, cyberspace, Alt, Peralez or Garry, it's a "too good subject" to ignore :)
 
Now imagine: The Matrix style clothing and leaping abilities such as short term ceiling walking, wall scraping (such as the mantis blade leap)

Ooh god... I caved in to the train:oops:
 
Then maybe V gets briefed by Alt that she had the plan all the time to take V to Mikoshi, take V behind the black wall and that he had a destiny to fulfill.

V would respond: "I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life."


I wonder if we're gonna get some philosophical debate between Alt and V about whether world is deterministic and that if you know everything, it's possible to make predictions.

V: What about free will? Am I not able to make choices?
Alt: V, you do have capability to make choices. But what choices are you going to make? The one you think it's the right outcome, right? Unless you suffer from a brain damage you're going to go with the most obvious choice.
V: So there's no free will? A mind of a God could know every single outcome? The world is deterministic?
Alt: Well, sometimes people do make wrong choice, or the choice I assumed they wouldn't pick, but those are very rare. They happen less than 0.1% of the time.
V: So I can choose something than I wouldn't normally choose as an outcome? Does that make the world random?
Alt: Only sometimes.

(Some)People will be extra pissed off if after removing Gibsonian Cyberspace (also in tabletop) for good reasons,you end in Cyberspace with just "real world" environment and superpowers.
PS: is not also kind of Saints Row IV?( not counting Enter the Matrix)
