Phantom Liberty, the first and only expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, is full of surprises. The game’s Alien Isolation-inspired mission is one of the best-kept ones.
In Cyberpunk 2077, there are few problems that can’t be solved with either a bullet, a blade, or a colorfully worded variation of “F you.” In Phantom Liberty, the first and only expansion for the game, developer CD Projekt Red throws a curveball at the player in the form of an optional final mission that channels inspiration from one of the greatest survival-horror games of the eighth console generation.
[Ed. note: Spoilers for the endings of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.]
After I finished my initial playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, I immediately booted up one of my earlier saves in an effort to circle back and see what other endings the expansion had to offer. After choosing to side with Idris Elba’s Solomon Reed during the mission “Firestarter,” I was led on a series of missions that saw me escaping from the Dogtown warlord Kurt Hansen’s clutches, mounting a coordinated ambush on a MaxTac prisoner convoy, and descending into the bowels of Night City to infiltrate a secret Militech research facility dating back to pre-DataKrash era.
