A year after first teasing the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC, CD Projekt RED finally announced a Phantom Liberty release date at the Xbox Games Showcase. Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty will launch on Sep. 26, 2023, for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Windows and Steam, PS4, and PS5, and while some pre-order rumors are swirling, there’s still no price or pre-order information yet.
In Phantom Liberty, you play as V in a timeline presumably before the end of Cyberpunk 2077. Your task is infiltrating a group of terrorists in Dogtown on a mission to rescue the president of the New United States of America, with Idris Elba in a starring role as secret agent Solomon Reed. V isn’t suddenly acting for the greater good, though. They’re after a cure, a way to stop the “ticking bomb” in their head.
Keanu Reeves introduced a new Phantom Liberty trailer showing the dangers of Dogtown, including what looks like some terrifying new foes and a much heavier emphasis on narrative this time around, likely thanks to the more restricted setting of Dogtown instead of the sprawling streets of Night CIty.
The Phantom Liberty release date is only a few months away, so we’ll probably be seeing more of V’s next adventure soon.
