The launch of Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty is coming, in just over a month the expansion will be released to players, but they wonder if it is necessary to finish the main campaign of the base game to be able to play and understand the new stage of the universe.
Fans wonder if you need to complete Cyberpunk 2077 before starting Phantom Liberty
Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty promises to bring several changes and new content to the game, and with that, some players are wondering if finishing the base game before playing the DLC is necessary or even important. After three years of the troubled launch in 2020, some inhabitants of Night City are still not finished and continue to advance in the game’s story.
Whether they were turned away by the many issues criticized at launch or because they arrived/came back later with patches and the wildly successful anime, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, these players were left behind in terms of following V’s story in the futuristic city.

The real answer is no, players won’t need to finish the Cyberpunk 2077 story to understand Phantom Liberty. It’s even better to avoid getting to the end of the main story because the DLC will add a new ending to the game. Like the other endings in the base game, the available endings are the result of the player’s actions and choices, and knowing how the story unfolds can, willingly or not, influence the protagonist’s choices.
So, if that’s an option for you, try not knowing the end of the base game if you want to get the most out of the new DLC story. New characters, districts, plot, and such an ending are elements that come to Cyberpunk 2077 with the Phantom Liberty expansion, which is a revision of the game that has already been improved a few times and gave a new life to the RPG, such as a reformulated skill tree, More complex cyber ware, vehicular combat, better police systems, more navigable user interface, and more.

While Cyberpunk 2077 has improved a lot since its release, those who aren’t satisfied can have an even better experience with Phantom Liberty, which doesn’t try to appeal to veteran gamers, but rather to those who haven’t seen V’s story through to the end. The prospect of expansion is now with new characters like Solomon Reed, played by Idris Elba who takes the place of guest star Keanu Reeves, and with him, it will be possible to explore the new, anarchic, and dangerous district of Dogtown.
While it’s hard to drop a story halfway through, those who manage to remain patient until Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty arrives will have the most surprising experience possible and it’s up to each player to decide what’s more worth it. If you’re one of those who haven’t played yet due to the extensive complaints at the time of release, know that the game has received several improvements and will arrive in its most polished form with the gameplay brought by the DLC.
