Dissecting Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty
The add-on hits the servers on September 26, imbued with espionage themes and featuring the commanding presence of Idris Elba as FIA agent Solomon Reed. This expansion pack unveils Dogtown—a hub for the underworld, brimming with traffickers and shadowy figures.
Not just content with storyline upgrades, Phantom Liberty overhauls the core game mechanics in the Update 2.0, refining abilities, cyber implants, and more for an enhanced player-driven journey and deeper immersion.
For veterans and newcomers alike, these are substantial updates from the game’s original incarnation in 2020.
What’s Fresh in the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty Expansion?
The principal enhancements lie within the talents and abilities. Stratagem changes, newly curated to alter player experiences distinctly, mix in with high-impact abilities such as airborne dashes, sword-based projectile deflections, and vehicular manipulations via Quickhacks. This redesign aims for players to craft specialized combat styles that resonate with in-game encounters.
Attributes remain unchanged, but they synergize with the refreshed perk framework. Cyberware also gets an upgrade through a new capacity mechanic, making trips to your Ripperdoc even more engaging.
Stamina dynamics are likewise revitalized—you’ll no longer expend stamina while running, sliding, or jumping. Instead, stamina only diminishes during weapon swings or gunfire, culminating in more fluid combat movement.
New vehicular combat features come into play, allowing players to indulge in action-packed chases and firefights directly from their transports within the Night City limits.
