News | Cyberpunk 2077 Expansion: Phantom Liberty Coming in 2023
During a Night City Wire, CD Projekt Red revealed the expansion Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
The expansion will be released next year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S and PC – the previous generation of consoles will not be supported. Phantom Liberty expands “an existing district” of Night city and includes mostly new characters. Main character V and Johnny Silverhand, played by Keanu Reeves, also return.
Also, the free Edgerunners update for the game is live on all platforms. The update adds a wardrobe, new weapons, three new side missions, and cross-progress, among other things. Players can also unlock ‘stuff’ from the Netflix anime of the same name, which will be released on September 13.
The Edgerunners update is the latest for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which will only receive minor updates. On the other platforms, the police system will be overhauled and vehicle combat will be added.
