Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the biggest hyped video game releases. Development studio, CD Projekt Red, was known for delivering a thrilling RPG experience. After all, they were coming off an incredibly well-received release, The Witcher 3. So their next game was unveiled to be Cyberpunk 2077, a game that was based on the board game, Cyberpunk.
Needless to say, fans were ecstatic to get their hands on this title. With a deep narrative journey, a futuristic setting, a slew of customization options, side quests, and a lively city, it looked like CD Projekt Red was checking off all the boxes for fan expectations. Unfortunately, despite a series of delays, it wouldn’t be until December of 2020 that fans would get a chance to dive into this new IP. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a pretty first impression.
Fast forward a couple of years and a slew of patches, developers CD Projekt Red finally introduced something other than patch updates and small free DLC. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is the first significant expansion for the game. If you’re ready to explore the world of Cyberpunk 2077 once again, here is some insight into what we know so far as we wait for the expansion’s big release.
What Will The Gameplay Be Like In Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty?
Being an expansion to CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077, you already have a great idea of what the gameplay will be like. Therefore, you can expect the same type of action RPG gameplay mechanics when Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty drops. Of course, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any changes to the game when it does launch. For instance, if you haven’t played this game since it launched initially, there are already several changes you can expect when starting the title back up.
CD Projekt Red has been actively working on the game since it was released. We’ve seen new mechanics and enhancements outside the patches to fix the different technical issues and bugs. One of the latest updates to hit the Cyberpunk 2077 base game came recently as well. After the massive success of Cyberpunk Edgerunners on Netflix, fans are pouring back into the game. To coincide with the anime series, CD Projekt Red updated the game with a few notable items related to the series.
But that wasn’t the only thing added to the game. Players will want to explore the perk tree again, find new vehicle combat featured, an update to the police system, and cyberware additions, among other new items to pick up or earn during your time in Night City. So overall, if you enjoyed the gameplay from the base game of Cyberpunk 2077, then you should find the expansion to be just as enjoyable.
Of course, we’re sure that there will be some new additional content and perhaps even gameplay mechanics when Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty launches. We’ll have a brand new storyline, missions, a new district, and of course, the return of Johnny Silverhand. But, for now, we’ll have to wait and see just what the game expansion brings out when it launches sometime in 2023 for the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
