If it wasn't for the relationships in Cyberpunk 2077, I wouldn't have returned to Night City as often as I have. The neon-tinted streets of CD Projekt Red's sprawling megalopolis aren't exactly friendly, after all. Laden with danger, corruption, and dirty dealings, it's the kind of place where you're far more likely to get a bullet-fueled hello over a warm welcome. But the characters you meet and the relationships you can form offer a little light in an otherwise dark world. Even if they have their own share of problems to deal with, the chance for romance makes the whole experience of V's fight for survival feel a little less lonely and hollow.
The upcoming arrival of the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty expansion throws us into the path of danger once again in the new district of Dogtown. As a "spy-thriller", CD Projekt Red clarified that while we shouldn't expect to see new romances, we will be getting "some new content added for the existing romance options". This is music to my ears. Even though most of our attention will be drawn to the "high-stakes mission of espionage and intrigue", I still want to see Phantom Liberty make the most of the established relationships we've made.
