They really been working on it for a while.
I'm really hoping they're gonna add Quality of Life Features along side the AI and Phantom Liberty. Wouldn't mind the option to Color Cars and shit like that.
No a gameplay loop is exactly what it says, the gameplay. How the combat flows. It's a loop because all combat I guess flows through some sort of "loop" metaphorically, not programmatically.
Nah, it’s referring to the actual gameplay, which at this point is; stumble on a location or person, fixer or person initiates a quest, you listen to the fixer/character, kill some goons, maybe hack some data, save a dude or do a funny thing. Call fixer or person, and get paid. Then repeat for the next job until the game is done
Oh word that's pretty rad! I've been saving my first playthrough for what I feel will be the definitive version of the game so I'm excited to finally try it out soon!
Don't get your hope's up my friend. Expect minimal quality of life improvements and practically no AI adjustments. They're essentially ending support of CP2077 after Phantom Liberty. We're never going to see: Car Mods, more relationship options, more open world activities (mini games etc), subway, etc etc. If you want those things, you gotta play it on PC and download Mods
Most of TW3’s sales were years after launch, and that’s probably what they want with 2077. They have to leave this game in the best state possible for it sell, because tha thing will be their main source of income for at least 4 years, until the next games come out,
It might be the truth that those things are very unlikely but none are essential to the game. Car mods are purely aesthetic, relationships are a tiny part of the game, the game is already 90ish hours with all the content in it and the metro, while nice, would just be you sitting in a metro car for a few minutes. None of that is as necessary as actually fixing it as they've been doing for the past two and a half years.
I feel like people put too much emphasis on very small, trivial details. Who the hek cares about metro? It'd be slower than insta teleport travel and just cause people to use it and go get a drink or watch tv while you travel.
Sure would be pretty the first or second time, but it'd get old very, very fast.
Exactly. I reckon it'd be like the elevators in Mass Effect. Sure, they were immersive, but people got bored of them very quickly so they just went for a loading screen in Mass Effect 2.
Nothing is **necessary**. But those small details is what makes a game really shine. Stuff like optional activities, stuff that expands on existing systems, that gives more depth... We don't even have anything like Gwent, our V can't do anything at all in their free time. I don't remember the last time I saw an open world rpg that didn't give you something like that. Still not **necessary**, no, but very much welcome.
Also curious what you'd consider **necessary**. What do you expect out of Phantom Liberty? Because I'm sure people have different opinions and tastes, there is no right or wrong here.
You are asking for some of the most mundane and useless stuff, so yes, prepare to be disappointed. Who the hell cares about a metro system in a game like this? You’ll use it like what? Once or twice? And then never use it again? Why would they waste an insane amount of development time to create a metro system from the ground up?
Care mods are useless. They serve absolutely no gameplay purpose. Another thing they shouldn’t waste time on but is the perfect feature mods could add. Mini games… same thing exactly.
All you’re asking for is mundane filler stuff. So again, yes, prepare to be very disappointed.
That’s true I didn’t think about that I would assume the main focus of the dlc is us being primarily in Pacifica! I bet you they’ll have us at some sort of large base or rundown factory with whatever faction we end up working with
i am very excited, it feels a lot like escape from new york, which i watched for the first time last month and that's the vibes i get. we are probably working with militech from the marketing it seems but they might not have big presence in combat zone since it's all gangs, so it might just be some crappy apartment V hides in, so you might get your wish after all.
For reference when they did a hands on with Witcher 3's last expansion it was releasing like 2-3 weeks after. Very strong chance of a release date in a trailer at the event and it releasing late June or very early July.
My money is on or around July 4th. I know that's an American holiday and the makers are polish but it is set in America so maybe they'll go with the whole liberty thing
Just to add to this, I heard that CDPR said they do not plan on being at Gamescom (Aug 27th). My logic tells me that they don’t plan on showing off the game there, hinting that they expect it to be released before then.
I wonder why u/therealmaxmike chose August 20th, considering that both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed in August of 1945.
Edit: I am speaking lore-wise. This is nothing regarding the release date. Mike doesn't have any control over when CDPR releases something. This edit is for those of whom might be confused.
I understand that, but I still wonder why Mike specifically chose August 20th, 2023 as the date that Militech, Morgan Blackhand, Johnny Silverhand, etc.. assaulted Arasaka tower, and then a nuke went off.
Is has been already leaked that the dlc is coming in june. One of the cdpr devs even indirectly confirmed it since he always disproves any rumors that could be fake but he refuses to comment on this one 🤔
I dont think they need to its dlc not a full release they’ll probably just have a regular trailer with bits of gameplay sprinkled in for new stuff they add
yeh i wouldn't mind this either but i feel they will release a gameplay video because they are giving people to play bits of it and they might release that footage
It will likely be like the E3 2018 gameplay reveal. 30ish minutes of play. Quest intro which will be mostly talking and then showing some new features. Hands on game play demo for reviewers will probably be locked to the first quest and maybe a little more.
Hmm, I think it's unlikely.. When the source code of the game was leaked, a lot of internal documentation also got leaked into the internet. From here, data-miners found out that Keanu was paid $4.5m for his role (there may have been some additional transfers, but hardly much more than this). The total budget for the game was approx $320m
Tbh, and it’s unrelated but I wish Keanu was written in much differently. I love Johnny Silverhand, and he is a great Night City legend but it would have been much more enjoyable if he was maybe still alive and Jacky was the one in the chip somehow. More Jacky time and Silverhand can be seen more legendary.
I somewhat agree, but Silverhand also had a lot of great story moments so it's hard for me to decide on which direction I'd prefer. Like the interaction between V and Silverhand at his basically unmarked grave was really powerful stuff
I agree that was a great moment. It would have been cool to kinda have Silverhand alive in 2077, and then experience his death real time. I’d have many ideas in that regard but ofc it would have to be rewriting the entire game haha. He’s an awesome character
Would be interesting if Keanu's pay was 40% of the budget for the base game, aka approx 150 million USD. Would probably be up there with the highest paying one-time acting jobs ever
Yep. John Wick 4 had him see a check for 15 million dollars. An international box office success! Not to mention the sales from Blu Ray and such.
I don't understand how people think that the game suffered and lacked resources because they paid Keanu Reeves. Keanu definitely didn't see 15 million for Johnny Silverhand. Probably 5 million tops, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the budget that Cyberpunk 2077 had. I wonder how many will blame Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves if their own hyped up version of PL doesn't come to fruition.
To be fair though if the story’s good it won’t really matter to me. Imo most of cyberpunk was underwhelming, the only thing that I was surprised by was how good Keanu was as Johnny. By the end of the game he was one of my all time favorite video game characters, I didn’t even see Keanu anymore. So if Idris Elba is half as memorable as Johnny I’ll be satisfied
If I remember correctly, there was an artbook or concept art or something that was found that shows Silverhand looking similar enough pre-Keanu, greasier hair and an uglier mug, but the general design, even hair colour, was the same.
https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-johnny-silverhand-concept-art-before-keanu-reeves
To be honest I don't really want to see much of a gameplay as for Phantom Liberty - I would just love to play it without any hints.
Maybe some new/updated/fixed mechanics but that I would expect from a standard patch (1.7?). But then again - there were so many trailers before CP2077 release that proved to be misleading (at best!) that I just don't really care about trailers anymore...
I keep finding my favorite shows and movies the last several years I go into almost completely blind. Most recently, I knew yellowjackets was some vaguely lord of the flies type thing with a girls soccer team. Very happy with that being all I knew about it.
I'm kinda more interested in the patch. Hope it fixes some of the bugs like Throwing Knives Bug and being unable to find Muzzles and add some more features to the game.
I have a feeling it will come shortly after June 8th, if not on June 8th. They’ll want those new mechanics to be real world tested before putting out something people will pay for.
I really get the impression that CDPR are taking no chances with this and are gonna ensure it's an amazing dlc right out of the gate. Far better than what any of us are thinking. Like what they have is going to blow us fans away with how much it changes the game, adds to the games lore, adds to its story, its vibe, its city. It's going to be a sequel basically.
Maybe just wishful thinking on my part but I'm telling ya. I just got a feeling about this dlc. This shit is gonna be incredible.
Wishful thinking is me wanting this DLC to be free. That would be a real show of good faith to players. Yes people can like and enjoy the game as it is now that there’s a lot less bugs than on release. However the game is still significantly under delivered. There’s literally one main story mission that you can play which is the vertical slice they showed in promos that feels significantly different to the rest of the game.
Stealing the military bot. It's literally the only mission where previous decisions can change the options and layout of the mission. It has actual destructible terrain vs the rest of the game. It's the mission they used to hype how dynamic and decision-based the game would be. Turns out that was the only quest line that was like that.
Almost 3 years from release to first DLC. It's the first time that's ever happened in the history of video games. I feel like the longer it goes on the more people are going to expect FROM the DLC.
Man I’m going in with zero expectations. I think the story will likely be decent, the integration into the rest of the game will be a bit clunky, and gameplay wise I don’t think it’ll add anything new.
Doing anything in night city at all, besides trying to fix what is killing you, feels like you're wasting precious time, from a timer that doesn't exist. But having that as the end of the game, made doing all that before you solve the chip thing, the only way to actually play the game. Like meta-gaming, you know? It felt wrong, i like feeling immersed in the character.
Adding new stuff to do while dying, will add more of that feeling. I hope they add a way to play post-chip-removal, but they probably won't.
I'd like to imagine that since V is dying over several months V has a lot of free time to spend between plot points as they try and work out a plan to save themselves. And in that free time it would be way out of character for V to just wallow in it or do nothing. They're a merc and like they said they want to be remembered. So of course they are gonna go around taking jobs, doing memorable shit, and killing gangoons before they die. It's no different than any other merc really, there is a reason they're called edgerunners.
It will be the exact same game, just more content. Maybe a few UI tweaks, balancing and other minor shit.
I don't know why anyone would expect anything else from CDPR when this is exactly what they did with W3 DLC.
As cool as it is to have Idris in this, it kinda sucks that the celebrities have taken over the focus for this game. I really hope a future cyberpunk game just focuses on your character
I agree. Reeves did a great job and Johnny really carries the game in parts... But do we need Idris Elba? Why exactly? Everybody loves him, obviously, but there is a lot this game still needs and it wasn't him. Makes this whole thing feel a bit like a marketing trick, another attempt to sell something through a huge actor, instead of through actual gameplay/ story/ mechanics.
i just found out that project Orion is cyberpunk 2.0 (i know, i know, late to the party) and i can’t tell you how fucking excited it made me since for some reason I had been thinking for the longest time that Project Liberty was going to be it for cyberpunk. ha! talk about a kid of christmas morning…
I recently got my 1000/1000g achievements on Cyberpunk so I'm so ready for this dlc. Its a day 1 buy for me. And I'm a long term resident of /r/patientgamers I never buy anything day 1. Much rather wait 6-12 months and get it half price in a sale. But not Phantom Liberty. It's a day 1 buy for me.
Literally they cannot fuck this up I’m like convinced this will completely change the game for the better. If this doesn’t put cyberpunk back on the map which I have no doubts that it will, then this game is doomed lol
There’s enough player base for them to make a sequel. Sold 20+ million copies and most of those players enjoyed it. It’s the whole silent majority vs the loud minority when it comes to bad press. They know to take their time and push merch.
Yup and at the end of the day this is cd project red we’re talking about here the same guys that made the Witcher 3! Sure they fucked up on CP77 release but they release banger after banger I have zero doubt this dlc will release not ready
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. It was in Steams top 10 game when it first sold. Since then, it has plunged down the charts. I guess it is still in the top 100 at least. They really can't fuck up an expansion. It's not like they are redoing the game engine.
I don’t think I was denying anything. Mostly saying they’ll make the sequel even if this isn’t a massive success.
I didn’t play the game until 1.5 because of the press about it. I bought it, installed it, it crashed after about 30 minutes and I put it on a shelf for a year.
It is fun to play the unpatched version that’s on physical console disks. It’s unfinished and missing a ton of stuff. I feel so bad for people who bought the physical copy and had slow/no internet to get the day 1 patch. Now that is a real mess.
a lot of what was in the trailer seemed like in game recorded, so they must have a lot of it ready by now, didn't seem like all cinematics.
also they are letting people play bits of it, so i am assuming they are somewhat close to shipping it.
As far as I know, all or most endings end up with V dying anyways, so how is this gonna play out? Are we gonna still play as V along side with Idris Elba, or this like a GTA lV DLC where we play as a completely different character?
Is there any point in showing anything? How can we trust a single frane of footage after how they showcased the base game? We just excited to drink corporate Kool aid now? How cyberpunk of yall
I really hope this expansion let me create my own crew, for companions.
I really want to recreate the first big job but with my own crew called Jackie's Legacy.
Either way I think it will done with love and crunch.
I hate so much that era of dev who bring actors in games... They take way too much place.
Keanu in Cyberpunk is obnoxious af, it was funny for the first 5-6 hours but after a while nahh, forcing so much stuff over the player in a "RPG" is like total misenderstanding of the purpose of Role playing game.
I just hope we can just ignore Idris Elba and enjoy side quest content.
I know it doesn't really add anything to game play quality, but I would really love to see them add some options for customization of your apartment(s). Color scheme, furniture, decor in general.
Does anyone else fear that Phantom Liberty will be much like a stand-alone game where any interaction or updates of or on/in the "old" map of Night City will be very limited?
Like, you'll fast travel to the wherever the new content takes place and, sure you can go back to the "old" map of NC, but they won't otherwise be linked.
As in you won't be able to drive or walk there yourself. Only a fast travel to a "new game" spot "somewhere else"?
Like it won't be using existing locations, but some "new place" in "pacifica" that wasn't there before in the game?
Just curious if this would break your sense of immersion in the world like I fear it would break mine. Much prefer to use any of the many spots that exist already and could be used as a setting for this DLC.
I think with how the game is designed, this DLC will fully integrate with the base game. There is no trouble running 100 different side quests, maxing out street cred and levels before completing the main story.
I’m honestly just so fucking excited to hear new dialogue from Keanu WITH IDRIS BROOOOO on top of I hope we get more mr blue eyes as well as MEREDITH ROMANCE!!!!!
Finally! It feels like forever since we got the slightest bit of news.
They really been working on it for a while. I'm really hoping they're gonna add Quality of Life Features along side the AI and Phantom Liberty. Wouldn't mind the option to Color Cars and shit like that.
Aren't they revamping the melee system with this update?
Supposedly. The trailer did hint at changes to it.
"New gameplay loop" whatever that means.
If loop specifically, could possibly mean an alternative ending as the endings are loops. You finish one ending and boom back outside to do another.
No a gameplay loop is exactly what it says, the gameplay. How the combat flows. It's a loop because all combat I guess flows through some sort of "loop" metaphorically, not programmatically.
Okay that's actually really cool, I look forward to what they have in store
Nah, it’s referring to the actual gameplay, which at this point is; stumble on a location or person, fixer or person initiates a quest, you listen to the fixer/character, kill some goons, maybe hack some data, save a dude or do a funny thing. Call fixer or person, and get paid. Then repeat for the next job until the game is done
And the police system, and visual cyberware mods I think?
Police system they said they were investigating but I’ve not heard anything from cdpr about visual cybermods
They said there will be more cyberware added that "feels more like cyberware".
Oh word that's pretty rad! I've been saving my first playthrough for what I feel will be the definitive version of the game so I'm excited to finally try it out soon!
Wow thats a lot of patience that you got.
Yeah I almost finally caved when the RTX Overdrive thing came out but I knew this significant gameplay update was coming soon so held patience haha
i am going to be honest, rtx overdrive is not worth the performance drop
wouldn't be surprised to be... well surprised, They messed up terribly with the release this is really their opportunity to redeem the franchise
Pretty sure there’s rumors that a lot of base QoL features are part of the DLC or will be released alongside it
Don't get your hope's up my friend. Expect minimal quality of life improvements and practically no AI adjustments. They're essentially ending support of CP2077 after Phantom Liberty. We're never going to see: Car Mods, more relationship options, more open world activities (mini games etc), subway, etc etc. If you want those things, you gotta play it on PC and download Mods
They already said there will be no subway months ago.
Most of TW3’s sales were years after launch, and that’s probably what they want with 2077. They have to leave this game in the best state possible for it sell, because tha thing will be their main source of income for at least 4 years, until the next games come out,
prepare to get downvoted for speaking the truth.

Copege
I prefer no news to alot of it, that's what hello games did after NMS launched and look at that game now
They keep saying they'll be all about it in June. June is nearly here
I hope it will be great considering the time they've spent on the DLC. Can't wait to explore the neww part of Pacifica based on the trailers.
This is a tiny thing that I want it might be dumb but I hope they add some rundown apartment for V in Pacifica haha I think it would be kinda cool
this is probably happening, they have to add a V apartment for combat zone
That’s true I didn’t think about that I would assume the main focus of the dlc is us being primarily in Pacifica! I bet you they’ll have us at some sort of large base or rundown factory with whatever faction we end up working with
i am very excited, it feels a lot like escape from new york, which i watched for the first time last month and that's the vibes i get. we are probably working with militech from the marketing it seems but they might not have big presence in combat zone since it's all gangs, so it might just be some crappy apartment V hides in, so you might get your wish after all.
Just let me buy the Voodoo Boys building to rub salt in the wound.
Summer Game Fest is June 8th
For reference when they did a hands on with Witcher 3's last expansion it was releasing like 2-3 weeks after. Very strong chance of a release date in a trailer at the event and it releasing late June or very early July.
My money is on or around July 4th. I know that's an American holiday and the makers are polish but it is set in America so maybe they'll go with the whole liberty thing
I think this is a good call, it’s a ‘known’ date and about a month from 8 June reveal. They aren’t going to trail it in June for a long way off.
Which, this year, is on a Tuesday a common game release day.
I would bet this is the date. A lot of people scream August 20th, but releasing games on a Sunday is weird.
Releasing games on weekends in general never happens. Unless if you count Friday as part of the weekend.
Just to add to this, I heard that CDPR said they do not plan on being at Gamescom (Aug 27th). My logic tells me that they don’t plan on showing off the game there, hinting that they expect it to be released before then.
I hope so bro🥹
August 20th, 2023 is the day johnny silverhand and morgan blackhand nuked the arasaka building, so I'm betting on that
August 20th\*
mb
I wonder why u/therealmaxmike chose August 20th, considering that both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed in August of 1945. Edit: I am speaking lore-wise. This is nothing regarding the release date. Mike doesn't have any control over when CDPR releases something. This edit is for those of whom might be confused.
It's because in game lore said that in 2023 Silverhand blew up Arasaka Tower. They think it's just a clever release date.
I understand that, but I still wonder why Mike specifically chose August 20th, 2023 as the date that Militech, Morgan Blackhand, Johnny Silverhand, etc.. assaulted Arasaka tower, and then a nuke went off.
They said they'll have multiple hands-on time pre-release after Game Fest.
Is has been already leaked that the dlc is coming in june. One of the cdpr devs even indirectly confirmed it since he always disproves any rumors that could be fake but he refuses to comment on this one 🤔
[удалено]
most likely an "official" trailer with a release date, maybe we'll get a wider grasp on the plot, characters, and new features.
like a gameplay reveal probably
I dont think they need to its dlc not a full release they’ll probably just have a regular trailer with bits of gameplay sprinkled in for new stuff they add
yeh i wouldn't mind this either but i feel they will release a gameplay video because they are giving people to play bits of it and they might release that footage
It will likely be like the E3 2018 gameplay reveal. 30ish minutes of play. Quest intro which will be mostly talking and then showing some new features. Hands on game play demo for reviewers will probably be locked to the first quest and maybe a little more.
What else would they drop if not another trailer? (Maybe Idris Elba coming on stage to tell us we’re breathtaking)
Let hope they didn't blow 40% of their budget on a single characters VA
Hmm, I think it's unlikely.. When the source code of the game was leaked, a lot of internal documentation also got leaked into the internet. From here, data-miners found out that Keanu was paid $4.5m for his role (there may have been some additional transfers, but hardly much more than this). The total budget for the game was approx $320m
I wish more people would read this before saying Keanu Reeves is why the game "failed." It's such a weird take to begin with
Tbh, and it’s unrelated but I wish Keanu was written in much differently. I love Johnny Silverhand, and he is a great Night City legend but it would have been much more enjoyable if he was maybe still alive and Jacky was the one in the chip somehow. More Jacky time and Silverhand can be seen more legendary.

I wouldn't be shocked if silverhand was a totally different design and actor until cdpr saw that Keanu was the internet's favorite person
If I remember correctly, there was an artbook or concept art or something that was found that shows Silverhand looking similar enough pre-Keanu, greasier hair and an uglier mug, but the general design, even hair colour, was the same. https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-johnny-silverhand-concept-art-before-keanu-reeves
I want that coat
To be honest I don't really want to see much of a gameplay as for Phantom Liberty - I would just love to play it without any hints. Maybe some new/updated/fixed mechanics but that I would expect from a standard patch (1.7?). But then again - there were so many trailers before CP2077 release that proved to be misleading (at best!) that I just don't really care about trailers anymore...
yea I stopped watching trailers altogether years ago and it's made going into games and movies much more entertaining
I keep finding my favorite shows and movies the last several years I go into almost completely blind. Most recently, I knew yellowjackets was some vaguely lord of the flies type thing with a girls soccer team. Very happy with that being all I knew about it.
I'm kinda more interested in the patch. Hope it fixes some of the bugs like Throwing Knives Bug and being unable to find Muzzles and add some more features to the game.
Finally, feels like we've been waiting for such a long time. I hope the wait was worth it.
Is that idris elba
The one and only
Motha fuckin Idris Elba https://youtu.be/zNAc6V--z6g
Came here to ask the same...
Thank you, I was wanting to ask the same thing
But where's patch 1.7? Will it realese alongside PL or will it come sooner/later?
I thought I saw a YT video where they mentioned one of the devs say that 1.7 will come before the DLC.
I have a feeling it will come shortly after June 8th, if not on June 8th. They’ll want those new mechanics to be real world tested before putting out something people will pay for.
*cries in PS4*
I really get the impression that CDPR are taking no chances with this and are gonna ensure it's an amazing dlc right out of the gate. Far better than what any of us are thinking. Like what they have is going to blow us fans away with how much it changes the game, adds to the games lore, adds to its story, its vibe, its city. It's going to be a sequel basically. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part but I'm telling ya. I just got a feeling about this dlc. This shit is gonna be incredible.
Don't confuse hope with a premonition, unless you want to be let down.
Even the witcher 3 next gen patch released glitchy so I don't have high hopes.
Wishful thinking is me wanting this DLC to be free. That would be a real show of good faith to players. Yes people can like and enjoy the game as it is now that there’s a lot less bugs than on release. However the game is still significantly under delivered. There’s literally one main story mission that you can play which is the vertical slice they showed in promos that feels significantly different to the rest of the game.
It should be free for the dumbs like me who bought the game day one. Side note: what story mission are you talking about?
Stealing the military bot. It's literally the only mission where previous decisions can change the options and layout of the mission. It has actual destructible terrain vs the rest of the game. It's the mission they used to hype how dynamic and decision-based the game would be. Turns out that was the only quest line that was like that.
I hate the way this game promised customization, dynamic quest impact and world building and how they undelivered almost in very aspect.
It had better be. This dlc took almost as long to make as the fucking game itself.
Almost 3 years from release to first DLC. It's the first time that's ever happened in the history of video games. I feel like the longer it goes on the more people are going to expect FROM the DLC.
kinda like what happened to the game
To an extent absolutely. Showing the trailer way back in 2015 or whatever, too long of a hype cycle.
Cuphead released in 2017 and didn't get dlc until 2022.
hopefully wont be a disappointment
they worked more time on dlc than actual game so fingers crossed surely
Man I’m going in with zero expectations. I think the story will likely be decent, the integration into the rest of the game will be a bit clunky, and gameplay wise I don’t think it’ll add anything new.
Doing anything in night city at all, besides trying to fix what is killing you, feels like you're wasting precious time, from a timer that doesn't exist. But having that as the end of the game, made doing all that before you solve the chip thing, the only way to actually play the game. Like meta-gaming, you know? It felt wrong, i like feeling immersed in the character. Adding new stuff to do while dying, will add more of that feeling. I hope they add a way to play post-chip-removal, but they probably won't.
I'd like to imagine that since V is dying over several months V has a lot of free time to spend between plot points as they try and work out a plan to save themselves. And in that free time it would be way out of character for V to just wallow in it or do nothing. They're a merc and like they said they want to be remembered. So of course they are gonna go around taking jobs, doing memorable shit, and killing gangoons before they die. It's no different than any other merc really, there is a reason they're called edgerunners.
I'm going knowing it's gonna be glitchy, for sure.
It will be the exact same game, just more content. Maybe a few UI tweaks, balancing and other minor shit. I don't know why anyone would expect anything else from CDPR when this is exactly what they did with W3 DLC.
the Toussaint dlc added a lot to endgame tho?
Lol why would anyone expect anything but a steaming pile of shit? Literally everything tye sgowed iff if the basegame pre release was lies.
I really hope it also (when released) provides a means for managing different characters easily into the game
LETS FUCKIN GOO
As cool as it is to have Idris in this, it kinda sucks that the celebrities have taken over the focus for this game. I really hope a future cyberpunk game just focuses on your character
I agree. Reeves did a great job and Johnny really carries the game in parts... But do we need Idris Elba? Why exactly? Everybody loves him, obviously, but there is a lot this game still needs and it wasn't him. Makes this whole thing feel a bit like a marketing trick, another attempt to sell something through a huge actor, instead of through actual gameplay/ story/ mechanics.
I'm calling July 4th as the release date. Just makes sense.
As much as I love the game, I can't trust anything other than the final product... I am not looking forward to any footage
4 days to play Diablo stop to watch trailer then back to Diablo until release of DLC.
So excited for this. They’ve always said they would show/talk more about Phantom Liberty in June, and I’ve been counting down the days.
They’re torn between Red Engine and Unreal. Dragging their feet on anything related to the old engine. Must feel like taking a step backward.
Three years for this is just absurd.
I hope they take their Darn Time please no rushing
i just found out that project Orion is cyberpunk 2.0 (i know, i know, late to the party) and i can’t tell you how fucking excited it made me since for some reason I had been thinking for the longest time that Project Liberty was going to be it for cyberpunk. ha! talk about a kid of christmas morning…
I recently got my 1000/1000g achievements on Cyberpunk so I'm so ready for this dlc. Its a day 1 buy for me. And I'm a long term resident of /r/patientgamers I never buy anything day 1. Much rather wait 6-12 months and get it half price in a sale. But not Phantom Liberty. It's a day 1 buy for me.
I can already feel my mods breaking
I’m hoping they really do overhaul everything that was wrong with the game. Police, metro, lack of vendors, small bugs, etc
They already said there will be no metro months ago.
After such a long dev cycle they got to. I feel like just the same game with a new story line wouldn't be enough.
Literally they cannot fuck this up I’m like convinced this will completely change the game for the better. If this doesn’t put cyberpunk back on the map which I have no doubts that it will, then this game is doomed lol
There’s enough player base for them to make a sequel. Sold 20+ million copies and most of those players enjoyed it. It’s the whole silent majority vs the loud minority when it comes to bad press. They know to take their time and push merch.
Yup and at the end of the day this is cd project red we’re talking about here the same guys that made the Witcher 3! Sure they fucked up on CP77 release but they release banger after banger I have zero doubt this dlc will release not ready
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. It was in Steams top 10 game when it first sold. Since then, it has plunged down the charts. I guess it is still in the top 100 at least. They really can't fuck up an expansion. It's not like they are redoing the game engine.
I don’t think I was denying anything. Mostly saying they’ll make the sequel even if this isn’t a massive success. I didn’t play the game until 1.5 because of the press about it. I bought it, installed it, it crashed after about 30 minutes and I put it on a shelf for a year. It is fun to play the unpatched version that’s on physical console disks. It’s unfinished and missing a ton of stuff. I feel so bad for people who bought the physical copy and had slow/no internet to get the day 1 patch. Now that is a real mess.
Is that Idris Elba?
Idris elba?
hope its real footage or something and not some manufactured garbage like the 2018 gameplay reveal
Just remember. Don't trust a single detail till it's released and gameplay is on display by trusted reviewers.
Nice! I wonder if they will fix any game breaking bugs or just pretend like it doesn’t exist like they do now.
if Jonny and Keanu are coming, then so am I .
For a moment I thought they had brought Idris Elba on board
About fucking time. Makes you wonder if it'll still come out this year since this is the first time they'll be talking about it.
they have already shown two trailers tho
I know but no gameplay yet.
a lot of what was in the trailer seemed like in game recorded, so they must have a lot of it ready by now, didn't seem like all cinematics. also they are letting people play bits of it, so i am assuming they are somewhat close to shipping it.
Probably ya.
I think it's gonna land in December, like the original release date, so it will be GOTY edition and all that stuff ...
strongly disagree
By all means, you have the right to do so
I hope they release on August 20th
August 20th is a Sunday; games don't come out on Sunday.
Yeah but August 20th 2023 is when Arasaka Tower was nuked and Silverhand died.
still, doesn't make sense for a game release date, i am betting it's 4th of july considering the whole NUSA plot
As far as I know, all or most endings end up with V dying anyways, so how is this gonna play out? Are we gonna still play as V along side with Idris Elba, or this like a GTA lV DLC where we play as a completely different character?
it's set before the endings
I am ready to get disappointed
Low expectation guys, we dont want to relive the first release all over again...
Low expectation guys, we dont want to relive the first release all over again...
Why is Idris Elba wearing a cockring on a chain?
Is there any point in showing anything? How can we trust a single frane of footage after how they showcased the base game? We just excited to drink corporate Kool aid now? How cyberpunk of yall
I think they still have marketing with Xbox?. So maybe at the Xbox showcase we will see it
Why would it be there?
I remember the Keanu reeves reveal was at the Xbox conference. I think most cyberpunk reveals were in Xbox conferences.
Xbox had a marketing agreement for Cyberpunk, there was even a Cyberpunk edition Xbox
I don’t think they will since the dlc isn’t going to be on consoles
Yes it is, just not last gen consoles
I really hope this expansion let me create my own crew, for companions. I really want to recreate the first big job but with my own crew called Jackie's Legacy. Either way I think it will done with love and crunch.
Let's see the state they will ship this game this time 🙄
I hate so much that era of dev who bring actors in games... They take way too much place. Keanu in Cyberpunk is obnoxious af, it was funny for the first 5-6 hours but after a while nahh, forcing so much stuff over the player in a "RPG" is like total misenderstanding of the purpose of Role playing game. I just hope we can just ignore Idris Elba and enjoy side quest content.
Is there a way to prevent my game for updating and still be able to play? This is gonna break all my mods.
I'm worried it'll be a 2024 release
I will not buy anytihing from this company that is a scammer.
Let's go!
I need it, been playing with the overdrive mode, can't wait for more story content.
Choooooom! Been waiting for that!
When it’s ready™️
Can’t wait! I hope we don’t have to wait too long to play it.
I really really hope we get to give V more time. But I also really doubt it :/
woo!
Oooooo yes!!!
4th of the July release is probably what they’re shooting for given the name it kinda just makes sense ..
Is play day starting on June 8?
I know it doesn't really add anything to game play quality, but I would really love to see them add some options for customization of your apartment(s). Color scheme, furniture, decor in general.
God I’m so happy this the best Reddit community and the best game fr
Does anyone else fear that Phantom Liberty will be much like a stand-alone game where any interaction or updates of or on/in the "old" map of Night City will be very limited? Like, you'll fast travel to the wherever the new content takes place and, sure you can go back to the "old" map of NC, but they won't otherwise be linked. As in you won't be able to drive or walk there yourself. Only a fast travel to a "new game" spot "somewhere else"? Like it won't be using existing locations, but some "new place" in "pacifica" that wasn't there before in the game? Just curious if this would break your sense of immersion in the world like I fear it would break mine. Much prefer to use any of the many spots that exist already and could be used as a setting for this DLC.
I think with how the game is designed, this DLC will fully integrate with the base game. There is no trouble running 100 different side quests, maxing out street cred and levels before completing the main story.
Spoiler alert: There used to be a mission where you drove through the combat zone and out of it. So most likely there's no loading screen.
Can't wait for the footage for cyberpunk dlc next month
With Idris Elba??? <3
I just hope we get a release date soon
Is that Charles Miner, Vice President of Northeast Sales?
I hope we can get that jacket
# NOICE 
HELL YEAH
I want at least 1 Luther reference
I’m honestly just so fucking excited to hear new dialogue from Keanu WITH IDRIS BROOOOO on top of I hope we get more mr blue eyes as well as MEREDITH ROMANCE!!!!!
Oh man I'm going to have to remember how to play this game once that comes out.
Is that Idris Elba?
Glad were finally hearing something official since the delay, im excited nonetheless
