Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC Needs to Address the Elephant in the Room

The launch of Cyberpunk 2077 has been well documented, quickly going from a game that was highly anticipated to one widely criticized. Ultimately, the cost to fix the myriad of issues and problems was steep as CD Projekt RED had to completely alter its original post launch content plans for Cyberpunk 2077 in order to focus on the game's health. The decision proved to be the correct one as the game is now in a much better state than it was at launch. Still, fans wondered what was next for the title once the majority of the issues had been ironed out.

While content like a Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer mode was seemingly shelved to allow the studio to devote more time to fixing the single-player game, the promise of larger DLC continued to persist, even after multiple internal delays to the Cyberpunk 2077 post-launch roadmap. Recent teases finally gave way to an official reveal of an expansion called Phantom Liberty, which is set to release sometime in 2023.
