CDPR first revealed Phantom Libertyabout this time last year, confirming that Keanu would be back as Johnny Silverhand alongsideIdris Elba’s new agent Solomon Reed. The studio has since teased out plenty of new details about the expansion, from the fact it’ll take place in the middle of 2077’s main story to the reveal that it willintroduce a new ending to the base gameand add zero new romance options for player character V. (She will get a swanky new apartment, though.)
While CDPR has been forthcoming in saying that a number of Phantom Liberty’s improvements would come to 2077’s base game in afree 2.0 update, the studio was yet to confirm exactly what we’d get for zilch and what we’d need to cough up for when Phantom Liberty releases on September 26th.

Until now, that is, with the developers clarifying exactly what’s in Update 2.0 and what’s in Phantom Liberty in a clear breakdown.
Elsewhere in update 2.0 a bit of polish has been applied to 2077’s UX and UI, there are tweaks to crafting, loot and items, and you can tune into some new radio stations, including a community station called Growl FM.

Locked behind Phantom Liberty proper is, unsurprisingly, the new Nighty City district of Dogtown where the expansion’s story takes place - said story and its characters will also be part of the paid DLC, naturally. The expansion also packs in additional quests, gigs and boss fights, along with apparently “endless” dynamic events that include vehicle missions and airdrops.
While the general skill trees will be redesigned in the base game for free, the expansion will include a new Relic skill tree and abilities, plus more than 100 new items from weapons and cyberware to vehicles and clothing. You’ll also get some extra levels to help unlock those skills, with the level cap upped to 60. While car combat will be free to all, those with the expansion will get vehicle missile launchers to wreak havoc with.
Either way, it sounds like a fairly extensive list of new things and improvements for both the base game and expansion alike. You’ll be able to check out the changes and dig into what’s new on September 26th, when Phantom Liberty hits Cyberpunk 2077.
