CD Projekt Red recently hosted a special Cyberpunk 2077 event, where it has finally revealed the game's long-awaited DLC expansion, Phantom Liberty. Cyberpunk 2077 fans have known that the game would be getting a proper expansion for quite some time, but the latest Night City Wire broadcast has properly revealed it, confirming some interesting details about what fans can expect when it launches next year.

As revealed by CD Projekt Red, the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty expansion will launch in 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X. PS4 and Xbox One are being left behind, with today's Cyberpunk 2077 1.6 update being the last time the older versions of the game will be supported. The Phantom Liberty expansion is being described as a "spy thriller" and will have Cyberpunk 2077 players exploring a new area of Night City.

The Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty trailer is an impressive visual showcase, revealing some of the places that players will be visiting in the expansion. It also confirms that Keanu Reeves will be reprising his role as Johnny Silverhand. Silverhand's voice can be heard in the trailer, and Reeves himself appeared during the Night City Wire event to confirm his return in the DLC.

The Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC represents a unique opportunity for CD Projekt Red to make a second first-impression with the game. There once was a time when Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most hotly-anticipated new game releases, but a problematic launch saw much of the goodwill fans had for the game and CD Projekt Red in general squandered. Many of Cyberpunk 2077's issues stemmed from the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, so with the DLC focusing exclusively on new platforms, it should be able to avoid running into those same pitfalls.

Since Cyberpunk 2077's disastrous launch, CD Projekt Red has updated the game multiple times to improve its performance, fix glitches, and more. There's no denying that Cyberpunk 2077 is in a significantly better state today than it was at launch, and so those who haven't played it since then may want to consider giving it another try.

Fans will find out if Cyberpunk 2077's big DLC expansion lives up to the hype when it launches next year. In the more immediate future, fans can boot up the game later today and download the new update, which adds DLC based on the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series.

Cyberpunk 2077 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
