I've just made a series of phone calls in Cyberpunk 2077, and each conversation I have is like getting punched in the gut over and over. My choices in Phantom Liberty have led me here, so I've only got myself to blame, but I purposefully chose them in the name of experiencing the new ending introduced in the expansion. In the lead up to the release of the spy-thriller adventure in Night City starring Idris Elba, nothing excited me more than the news that the expansion would open up the way to a new ending for V. With the tease of a possible life-saving "cure", I wondered how it could bring the story to a close, and whether or not it would change my mind about what I consider to be the best Cyberpunk 2077 ending.
I thought, rather hopefully, that Phantom Liberty might give V a better send-off than some of the conclusions we already have in the core game. But nothing could have really prepared me for how affected I'd be by the ending it actually does deliver. As it turns out there really is a cure, but for me, the cost of it is just too damn high, and it's only made me all the more convinced that the best ending in Cyberpunk 2077 is the first one I ever experienced that's been there from the very beginning.
