Cyberpunk 2077 surprise announcement dropped ahead of Phantom Liberty launch

Just in case fans of CD Projekt Red’s sci-fi RPG weren't already hyped, the developers have announced that there will be a special Phantom Liberty stream later this week and it has been teased that we can look forward to a “surprise or two”.

At this time, CDPR has revealed what the surprises will be. After all, if that were the case, then it wouldn't actually be a surprise. Instead, fans are encouraged to tune into the official Cyberpunk 2077 YouTube channel or CDPR’s Twitch channel tomorrow.

“Night City Wire is back — with a special Phantom Liberty episode! We’ll talk about new radios, learn more about Reed from Idris Elba himself, discuss gameplay & new abilities… and throw in a surprise or two. Don’t miss it!” announced the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account.

The special stream will take place tomorrow Thursday, 14 September at 6pm UK time/8am PT/11am ET/4pm GMT/5pm CEST. The stream will only focus on the Phantom Liberty expansion, so we should not expect any The Witcher-related treats.

Phantom Liberty will be Cyberpunk 2077’s one and only expansion, but it promises to be a massive addition to the game. The expansion which weighs in at 32GB, introduces a new area to Night City with Dog Town, as well as implementing new abilities and a Relic skill tree, not to mention having plenty of new story missions.

In related news, an expert at CD Projekt Red has warned that the upcoming Update 2.0 could break your PC, and a romance mod adds new content for the fan-favourite Judy.
