CD Prokekt Red added a reference to the late rally driving and racing game legend Ken Block in Cyberpunk 2077’s Update 2.0 after he passed away in January 2023.The reference comes in the form of a new car players can find in Night City, which is also the only weaponised vehicle available for free. The Type-66 Hoon is available through the I’m in Love With My Car quest.Paying homage to Block, the car is a very fast, solid off-road vehicle and its name is a reference to his auto media and apparel company Hoonigan Industries. Perhaps leaning more into his video game history — as Block featured in several premier franchises including Need for Speed, Dirt, and Forza — it also comes fitted with two machine guns.A full breakdown of how to access and complete I’m in Love With My Car and unlock the Block-inspired car can be found on IGN’s Cyberpunk 2077 guide.Block passed away aged 55 in a snowmobile accident on January 2, 2023. “Ken was a visionary, a pioneer and an icon. And most importantly, a father and husband. He will be incredibly missed,” Hoonigan Industries said on Instagram at the time.Update 2.0 completely revamps Cyberpunk 2077 with features such as a new perk system and improved AI. Its release caused a spike in popularity of the game on Steam, even ahead of its one and only expansion Phantom Liberty launching today, September 26.In our 9/10 review of the DLC, IGN said: “Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty completes an immense turnaround for CD Projekt Red’s future RPG kickstarted with the anime spin-off, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and its latest 2.0 Update.”Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter. He’ll talk about The Witcher all day.
