The major DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 will be the most considerable expansion the game has ever had. CD Projekt Red announced the addition back in September. They mentioned it will feature fresh characters and a new location.
What are the expansion’s new features?
Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty will be some sort of a spy thriller. It will involve espionage actions for the New United States of America. The action will revolve around the game’s protagonist V and the famous Jhonny Silverhand, Cyberpunk 2077’s character emulated by Keanu Reeves.
As for the new location, the fresh district of the “Free City of Night City” is an autonomous multicultural metropolis. Night City is located on North America’s Pacific Coast. The new area is expected to have spacious streets and crowded skyscrapers, holding a high number of inhabitants. The location is also filled with crime and corruption and Corporations rule it as well.
CD Projekt Red seems to have put a lot of time into the development of the new location. The new area will be pretty large and it will present harsh stories and powerful corrupt people. In addition to all of that, the zone is rumoured to be one of the most ambitious projects they developed. It will be full of small details and secrets.
Cyberpunk: 2077 Phantom Liberty release date
So far, there is no exact date for the expansion’s release, but it will reach gamers in 2023. We knew this since September when CD Projekt Red announced it.
How much will the expansion cost?
CD Projekt Red has a reputation for the free updates they release for their games (like the enormous Next-Gen update for The Witcher 3), but this one will be a paid expansion. We know this because their PR Director, Radek Grabowski, confirmed to GamesRadar+ that it is going to be a paid DLC, but the price is unavailable yet. He also confirmed that its price will be less than the full game, as their expansions are traditionally cheaper than the full-price game.
The price won’t be too much of a surprise to the fans since other big games like The Witcher 3 have both free and paid additions.
On what platforms can we play the DLC?
The Phantom Liberty expansion will be available for Playstation 5, Xbox Series S and X and PC. The DLC will also be available on Google’s cloud gaming service, Stadia. As for the PS4 and Xbox One, the expansion will not be released considering the problems CD Projekt Red had since the game’s release.
Phantom Liberty might hold some secrets
Rumour has it that the upcoming expansion will have some hints about Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel, codenamed “Project Orion”. We can’t know this for sure but the fans seem pretty confident about it.
Cyberpunk 2077: Game of the year edition
CD Projekt Red also announced that as soon as the Phantom Liberty expansion hits the streets of the Night City, Cyberpunk 2077 will receive a Game of the year edition.
