Not much detail was shown, other than that V may have joined some form of military faction that, as Johnny Silverhand said, “Is a bad idea”, so we may end up working for the bad guys. What we do know, however, is that: Keanu Reeves will return for the DLC, most likely Johnny Silverhand again.

Another topic about the upcoming expansion was that this might just be the only expansion for Cyberpunk 2077. Understandably, CD PROJEKT RED draws a line in the sand when discussing future content due to the game’s controversial launch. Hopefully, if the expansion is a success, the expansion will provide inspiration for more content.

Phantom Liberty is currently scheduled for 2023 and will be available for PC, Stadia, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Here’s the official teaser for the Phantom Liberty expansion below:
