Copy: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty shows up again in the Game Awards trailer
2023 will be a big year for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will be the first and only major story DLC, an addon with a completely new story, new locations and lots of scenes in which Keanu Reeves uses swear words. But so far it remains a mystery what Phantom Liberty is supposed to be about.
The latest gameplay trailer unveiled by CD Projekt Red as part of the Game Awards 2022 sheds at least a bit of neon light – and reveals another guest star alongside Keanu Johnny Silverhand
Reeves: den Hollywood actor Idris Elba!
Fans know him from the legendary good The Wire or the British crime series Luther, with a bit of bad luck also from the third Star Trek film by JJ Abrams or Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw. Idris Elba plays the ominous (N)USA agent Solomon Reed in Phantom Liberty and works with V to unravel the mystery of the DLC story.
This also underlines the previous bits of information that V in Phantom Liberty is working closely with the new US government. We also see armored car chases, gunfights with souped-up cyberpunks and so on and so on in the trailer.
Phantom Liberty plays by the way while the plot of the main game, so it’s neither a prequel nor a sequel. You can find all further information about the addon in our overview of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
When is Phantom Liberty coming out?
Unfortunately, CD Projekt still does not communicate an exact release date, but at least Phantom Liberty will be released sometime in 2023. If you want to check back in until then, our Editor-in-Chief recently ventured back to Night City for the Edgerunners release to find out how fresh Cyberpunk 2077 feels after Patch 1.6.
