The release will be CD Projekt’s first significant debut following the buggy release of Cyberpunk 2077 in 2020. Keanu Reeves, who will once again play Johnny Silverhand, revealed the trailer for the next expansion. Idris Elba, another well-known actor, will appear in “Phantom Liberty” and play the entirely new role of Agent Solomon Reed.

The expansion is the final project to be created using CD Projekt’s proprietary RED Engine; moving forward, the firm will use the third-party Unreal Engine. PCs and next-generation consoles will both receive “Phantom Liberty” upon release.

Phantom Liberty shows V yearning for the chance to be able to preserve her life in return for accepting a mission to save the president of the New United States. In addition to teaming up with Idris Elba’s outstanding NUSA agent Solomon Reed, Keanu Reeves’s best nemesis Johnny Silverhand is back as well.

In addition to the main plot, CD Projekt Red notes that “the expansion also comes with a slew of new content, including new quests, gigs, and gig types; new vehicles, tech, cyberwar, and weapons; a brand new Relic skill tree for even more freedom in crafting one’s own unique playstyle, and more.”

Cyberpunk 2077 is an action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt. Set in a dystopian future in the year 2077, the game takes place in Night City, a sprawling metropolis in the Free State of California. Players assume the role of V, a mercenary outlaw who can be customized in terms of appearance, skills, and backstory.

The game offers a vast open world with a mix of exploration, combat, and story-driven quests. Players can engage in various activities such as hacking, driving vehicles, and engaging in gunfights. The gameplay incorporates both first-person and third-person perspectives, providing an immersive experience.

Cyberpunk 2077 garnered significant attention prior to its release, but it also faced controversy due to technical issues and performance problems on certain platforms upon launch in December 2020. CD Projekt has since released several patches and updates to address these issues.
