CD Projekt Red has unveiled a new look at Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase, complete with a release date of September 26th this year.
The reveal will come as no surprise to fans due to the fact the price of DLC was leaked online earlier this week before Summer Games Fest. From a listing on the digital distribution platform GOG, it looks like the game will be priced at 29.99 euros (£29.99 or around $34.99).
With this price point, Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty will be the most expensive DLC CD Projekt Red has produced. Hopefully, this means that Phantom Liberty will be larger than The Witcher 3‘s major expansions (Blood and Wine, Hearts of Stone), which each clocked in around the 15-30 hour mark.
Liberty or Death- Will Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, Fix Faith With Fans?
The new trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty shows of main protagonist V, still dealing with the ticking time bomb of Johnny Silver Hands conscious in their brain. V is contacted by an NUSA annalist by the name of ‘Songbird’ who offers to save their life.
However, Songbird will only help V out if they head to the previously closed-off section of Night City’s map known as Dog Town. The purpose of their mission,(now this is just ridiculous), to save the President of the New United States!
The trailer implies that the characters will have to fight their way through the enemy infested section of the city, alongside veteran New United States of America agent Solomon Reed- played by Idris Elba. It also looks like as V you must forge alliances with some of the less trustworthy characters in Dog Town getting wrapped in a web of political (and regular) double crossing.
With Phantom Liberty close to release many fans are looking toward the future of the series, as although Cyberpunk 2077 had issues on launch, three years after release the game is in a better state.

It also appears that some of the developers currently working on Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty will also move over to the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel once the DLC is completed. Also, for fans of The Witcher series, it also appears that members of the Phantom Liberty team will be allocated to working on a new instalment in CD Projekt Red’s flagship franchise.
