At the recent Xbox Showcase, CD Projekt Red debuted a trailer for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, the first and only expansion for the controversial and best-selling game. Now, CD Projekt Red have released a trailer breakdown with narrative director Igor Sarzyński.
The trailer shows protagonist V embroiled in political intrigue, as they are tasked to rescue NUSA President Rosalind Myers from the district of Dogtown. A mysterious figure known as Songbird has promised them a cure for their terminal illness, should they complete their mission. The breakdown mostly explores explores the expansion’s narrative and setting, explaining what makes Dogtown interesting and what players can expect from the new characters.
Intended to be an entertainment district, Dogtown became a combat zone during the last Corporate war and is now run by Kurt Hansen. He protects and controls the district with Barghest, his private army of Militech operators, gangsters, and mercs. Dogtown is a black market paradise, free from corporate or government oversight. Remnants of the war, like the giant Militech Chimera mech shown in the trailer, haunt the district’s more dangerous areas.
