Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC: Release date confirmed and Keanu Reeves clip

Will it be the New Vegas of the Cyberpunk universe? Time will tell, but we're feeling pretty optimistic after the recent Xbox Games Showcase.

Lots of details were revealed - and, alongside the thrilling trailer, we finally got a release date! Keep reading to find out more.

When is the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC release date?

The Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC release date is 26th September 2023, the developers confirmed at the Xbox Games Showcase in June.

Seeing as the base game was delayed a number of times and ultimately launched with a lot of bugs, you can understand why they didn't announce that date until quite late in the process.

Can I pre-order Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC?

It doesn't look like there is any way to pre-order the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC just yet, but we'll be sure to update this page when that changes.

This does seem to be a paid DLC rather than a free one, so we would expect those pre-order pages to go up eventually.

Which consoles and platforms can play Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC?

The Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC will only be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Google Stadia.

That is to say, you won't be able to play the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC on PS4 or Xbox One.

The developers have promised on the game's official website that "owners of the Xbox One X - Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition Bundle will receive a reimbursement for the expansion in the form of Microsoft Store credits. Please stay tuned for more details about this procedure."

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC gameplay and story details

The Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC has been described as a spy thriller, and the trailer gives us some clues regarding the story.

It looks like the player character, V, will be swearing an oath to work with the New United States of America. And this oath, according to Keanu Reeves's Johnny Silverhand, is a bad idea.

The DLC will take players to a new region of Night City, and although we haven't seen gameplay footage yet, the trailer seems to promise lots of high-octane action and at least one dramatic helicopter crash.

Thanks to Gamespot, we know that Phantom Liberty has "the biggest budget when it comes to expansion packs" released by CD Projekt Red. It's set to be a big one, folks.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC cast

As well as Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba, Phantom Liberty has a pretty killer cast. We'll share the full list (that we know at the time of writing) below:

• Gavin Drea - V (Male)
• Cherami Leigh - V (Female)
• Keanu Reeves - Johnny Silverhand
• Idris Elba - Solomon Reed

It's great to see that Reeves and both performers of V will be returning, joining Elba in what looks to be a great story.
