If there’s one thing that the Poles of CD Projekt Red have gotten us used to, it’s to offer us incredibly rich and well-made expansions. It’s hard not to think back to the phenomenal Blood & Wine expansion dedicated to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. If you still had any doubts about the content of Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk 2077, know that CD Projekt Red has just announced the color.
The biggest extension made by CD Projekt Red is none other than Phantom Liberty
Cyberpunk 2077 fans have been waiting to hear more about the game’s first – and only – expansion for a while before officially finding out about it last September. Scope on “espionage” this extension will allow us to find Keanu Reeves in his role of Johnny Silverhand, but also Idris Elba who will play the main role of Solomon Reed, an agent of the FIA.
Despite the lack of other specific information regarding Phantom Liberty to date, CD Projekt Red broke the silence recently. Marek Bugdoł, working in CD Projekt Red’s investor relations department, told Polish news outlet Parkiet:
“We hope the new adventures and new characters will attract those who are already familiar with Cyberpunk and also encourage many new players to start playing Night City. »
Bugdoł also added that development was progressing as agreed and that the team “felt comfortable with the current state” of the project. The resurgence of the game’s popularity surrounding the release of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners series has undoubtedly had a positive effect on the dynamics of the studio and in particular the development of the extension.
When we remember the extent of expansions for The Witcher 3, Hearts of Stone and especially Blood & Wine, we have to believe that CD Projekt Red has set the bar very high to achieve something even larger in Phantom Liberty . Suffice to say that this statement is likely to raise the hype a little more around the famous extension of Cyberpunk 2077.
The release of this first expansion is still scheduled for 2023 exclusively on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and Google Stadia. It will not be available on Xbox One and PS4.
