Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty DLC has several endings of its own and even adds a new one to the original RPG. Cyberpunk 2077 director Gabe Amatangelo made the comments to WCCFtech and elaborated a bit more on who’s involved in this new ending to IGN.
“[Phantom Liberty has] different endings based on how things play out,” Amatangelo said. “Then, based on the ending within Phantom Liberty, you can unlock a new ending in the base game [which] has to do with your new relationships and characters and situations.”
Amatangelo told IGN the key character in Phantom Liberty’s main story and new ending is Songbird, the personal netrunner to the president of the New United States – the esteemed personage you’re supposed to protect.
“As the trailer shows, Songbird brings you in with the promise of being able to handle your issue with the relic,” Amatangelo said. “It will affect outcomes in the base game [and] the story of Phantom Liberty within itself has multiple different variations of endings.”
Whether that means Cyberpunk 2077 will actually get an ending that isn’t sad remains to be seen. If Phantom Liberty is anything like the base game, figuring out how your choices affect the ending you get will be quite the challenge, though perhaps slightly less confusing given that Phantom Liberty unfolds in the confined area of Dogtown instead of the vast open world of Night City.
Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty launches for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on Sep. 26, 2023.
