Phantom Liberty is set to be coming out later this year and will star both Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves.
CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the new expansion for its highly popular Cyberpunk 2077 will be coming out sometime this year.
The expansion is said to be the largest one yet and will “dwarf” The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine expansion.
The budget for this expansion will be the largest one to date from CDPR. This was confirmed by Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit, community director Marcin Morton.
Cyberpunk 2077 has exceeded expectations after its shaky release in 2020 and has been improved upon immensely since.
IR Manager Marek Bugdol revealed that CDPR is pleased with the state of the expansion so far stating:
“Yes, we feel comfortable with the current state of work on the add-on.”
Bugdol also stated:
“We hope that the new adventures and characters will attract those who are already familiar with Cyberpunk and also encourage many new players to start playing Night City.”
In a tweet, CDPR confirmed that Idris Elba himself will be in the next installment which will be set in an “all-new” Night City.
Phantom Liberty will be set in Dogtown which is to be a new district in Night City. The expansion will closely follow the story of Solomon Reed “Idris Elba”, which plays an FIA Agent for the NUSA.
The plot revolves around V who is caught up in Pacifica Combat Zone’s conflicts. As a result, they will pledge allegiance to the New United States of America. Together with FIA agent Solomon Reed, they will carry out their assignment.
It was also previously announced that Sasha Grey will also co-star in the DLC. Grey will voice a radio DJ named ASH on the in-game station 89.7 Growl FM.
Phantom Liberty will be available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. Beyond Phantom Liberty’s debut in 2023, a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 will be coming soon.
