Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty finally rises from the ashes to reveal more details. After announcing the DLC in 2022 to some tempered reception, we have new footage for the upcoming DLC, thanks to Xbox Showcase 2023. It does not end there, as Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty also gets a launch date, with pre-orders going live.
Save New USA in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
As previously mentioned, the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will be a chunk of DLC content for the December 2020-released Cyberpunk 2077. It will launch for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on 26 September 2023. The DLC sees V returning alongside Keanu Reeves’ Johnny Silverhand in a new spy-thriller adventure.
The official plot sees the president of New USA crash-landing at the new location. Called “Dogtown,” it is a city run by jumpy militias and ruled by Colonel Hansen. Players will team up with NUSA sleeper agent Solomon Reed, portrayed by Idris Elba, to rescue President Myers of NUSA.
CD Projekt Red, the developers of Cyberpunk 2077, have made the Phantom Liberty DLC keeping the next-gen hardware in mind. Hence, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will to, unfortunately, miss out on the spy-thriller action. Right out of the gate, we have a look at new screenshots, where we see some tasteful looks of Idris Elba as Solomon Reed, Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand, some new characters, and more.
Cyberpunk 2077 DLC: System Requirements & Pre-Orders
Pre-orders for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty went live no sooner than the announcement dropped. It has been priced at $29.99 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Players pre-ordering the DLC will receive a Quadra Sport R-7 Vigilante car in-game.
CDPR has updated the requirements for the game. The reason for the change in requirements is for the game improvement process and for adding new features.
