CD Projekt RED was smart as to not give anything away about theirCyberpunk2077expansion. The release is bound to surprise many, even those that still doubt theamazing turnaroundofCyberpunk2077. ThePhantom LibertyDLC trailer reveals many exciting things awaiting players.
8Dogtown
Since the initial reveal ofCyberpunk2077’s DLC expansion, it’s been known that a new district will be added to Night City. There isn’t much known or shown about this new Night City district. Until now. Solomon Reed talks of “Dogtown,” which many fans have assumed the new district is called. Considering Reed wants this place burned to the ground, it certainly fits in with thecesspool of Night City.
From what’s been seen of Dogtown so far, it seems dry, horrible, and perfectly encapsulating the hopelessness of Night City. It’ll be interesting to see how Dogtown adds to Night City’s lore and design, with other areas like Pacifica.
7Air Force One Down
One of the more striking shots of the trailer shows that of a crashed airplane. This plane is no ordinary carrier and within the fiery wreckage is the symbol of Air Force One. This plane is famous for holding the President of the United States, and its crashing withinCyberpunk2077raises more questions than answers for the upcomingPhantom LibertyDLC.

It’s certainly an interesting reveal in theCyberpunk2077DLC trailer, and could potentially allude to V’s mission. Perhaps V is sent to Dogtown to save the President of the United States, or something far darker for this dystopia: to cover it up.
6Morgan Blackhand?
One of the most famous solos inCyberpunkis Morgan Blackhand. This character is adefiningCyberpunkcharacter, and as important, if not more so as Johnny Silverhand. Blackhand has a rich history inCyberpunkand deserves his debut in the triple-A design from CD Projekt RED’sCyberpunk2077.
The character may have potentially been revealed when an older man sits on a couch with a black arm. Although it may not be Morgan Blackhand, it hasn’t stopped some fans from speculating and hoping that the character will appear in theCyberpunk2077DLC.
5Solomon Reed, FIA
The biggestCyberpunk2077reveal since Keanu Reeves was shown as Johnny Silverhand occurred in thePhantom Libertytrailer. The gameunveils Idris Elbaas Solomon Reed. This character is a mystery and a brand-new creation forCyberpunk2077. Solomon Reed is an FIA agent for the New United States of America.
Not much is known about the FIA, what Solomon Reed wants, or if he isa romance option, but it’s clear that V is important to this plan. Idris Elba is a great actor, and his arrival intoCyberpunk2077will further credit the actor and the game with a grand performance and intrigue.
4Face/Off
A giant shock and eyebrow-raising moment from thePhantom Libertytrailer is when V has a technology-integrated mask placed over their face. This mask seems like a lot more than a facial scrub, but a face plate to help disguise V. It certainly plays into the spy thriller vibes of theCyberpunk2077DLC.

If V receiving this faceplatefrom a Ripperdocmeans that characters inCyberpunk2077can alter their face to disguise themselves as other people with the simple act of a mask, then it opens up a greater mystery of whom one can trust in this dystopia.
3Johnny Silverhand, In The Chrome
Returning physically, or, within the mind of V, isnone other than Johnny Silverhand. This character is integral toCyberpunk2077. Not only because of the innate charm of Keanu Reeves as a narcissistic rocker boy terrorist but because he’s accidentally the reason that V is dying. It’s great to see the A-list actor back with a silver arm and a bone to pick with corpos.
Getting Keanu Reeves back may have been no easy task, but he is certainly here for the ride. If Johnny’s physical appearance in thePhantom Libertytrailer indicates anything, hopefully, it gives life to more adventures and further solidifies the chemistry between Johnny and V, as they share a mind and a body. Silverhand and his philosophy were some of the best parts ofCyberpunk2077.
2Melee Finishers
It’s no surprise that such a bleak dystopia can be gruesome.Cyberpunk2077can be a brutal game, with an abundance of violence. Surprisingly, this violence isn’t enough for some, as thePhantom LibertyDLC features V using the Mantis Blades on some poor gonk.
This special attack move has V repeatedly stab the victim with unrelenting fury. It adds further intrigue as to what other attacks could be in the game, and ifCyberpunk2077is having a rehaul of the finisher animations, involving more dismemberment.
1MaxTac Is Max Back
If players ever get bored inCyberpunk2077, they can try their luck at playing as a Cyberpsycho. They can commit atrocities, and go on a rampage in Night City to fight the police. Once maximum notoriety is achieved, MaxTac will involve itself in the fighting. However, they aren’t exactly hard to beat and don’t seem like the unit dedicated to taking down Cyberpsychos.
Sadly, MaxTac doesn’t appear much inCyberpunk2077, but thePhantom Libertytrailer shows a unit of MaxTac jumping from their aircraft. It would be great to see MaxTac in action, either against V or with V in this new deranged district ofCyberpunk2077’s Night City.
Cyberpunk 2077is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
