CD Projekt RED released a new trailer for Cyberpunk 2077’s DLC Phantom Liberty during The Game Awards 2022, and while Dogtown, a new setting in Night City, was ostensibly the main attraction, CDPR dropped a surprise reveal in there as well. Idris Elba (Luther, Sonic The Hedgehog) is joining the cast alongside Keanu Reeves.
Elba plays Solomon Reed, an agent for the New United States of America and V’s only ally in their desperate attempt to infiltrate the organization. Reeves returns as Johnny Silverhand, which we knew from the expansion’s first trailer, and apparently, the dead rockstar has a bit of history with Dogtown.
It’s a brutal place that poses some kind of threat to the rest of Night City, though CDPR is still keeping its relationship to the main Cyberpunk story under wraps for now.
Reed steps in to lend a hand and bring his own vision for Dogtown to life, a vision that involves burning the place to the ground. It’s a “peace at all costs” strategy and one that sounds like Dogtown won’t win the upcoming fight.
Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty DLC will release at some point in 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It’s a paid expansion, though CDPR hasn’t announced a price yet.
The studio is also developing The Witcher 4 and a full remake from the ground up of the first Witcher game, built in Unreal Engine 5.
