What will Phantom Liberty add to Cyberpunk 2077? Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a new expansion called Phantom Liberty, which is sure to bring a plethora of new content to the table. In this article, we’ll delve into the new features, story, and gameplay mechanics that the expansion will add to Cyberpunk 2077.
New Quests and Storyline
Phantom Liberty adds a new storyline and a plethora of new quests to the game. Players will embark on a series of missions that take place in a new district, called Dogtown. There, they’ll encounter a host of new characters and villains, including a shadowy figure known as Alexander (Alex) Lesziw, who is voiced by actor Giancarlo Esposito. Throughout the story, players will uncover the mysteries of the city and make choices that impact the world and the people in it.
New Endings
But that’s not all Phantom Liberty has in store for us. The expansion adds two new endings to the game, bringing the total number of endings to… drumroll… 7! Each of these endings is affected by the player’s choices throughout the game, adding replay value and encouraging multiple playthroughs.
Here are the new endings, briefly summarized:
| Endings | Description |
|---|---|
| Ending 1 | Main Story Ending: V has made the difficult choice of side with Songbird |
| Ending 2 | Second ending to Ending 1, where V does not make a side-choice with Songbird |
| Ending 3 | A third end of the main storyline without details |
| Ending 4 | Ending to Secondary storylines, which only apply to some specific parts of the game |
The story is more detailed for this expansion, which requires 30 new quests added by Phantom Liberty, many of which can be selected separately. The ending decision for the Phantom Liberty, including the main story part of the expansion, offers even more variety, not to mention that Alex may not survive if V and him don’t cooperate.
And, in case any ending is missed, with a new game start for this expansion, there might be a way to avoid death for Alex. Still, the Phantom Liberty content itself is mostly unaffected except by the main storyline from V’s point of view.
New Collectibles
Phantom Liberty has introduced new collectibles within the game, specifically two sets of Tarot Cards: the Cyberpunk Cards. These are new special Tarot Cards which hold an additional message about different stories and themes of cyberpunk. Cyberpunk also included a special new mission as part of Phantom Liberty with a lot of options that can change how different choices are interpreted in later phases of the game play and the overall game’s plot.
