When you think about it, a spy thriller is a perfect fit for CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077. The original game was, if nothing else, a game swimming in uncertainty and conspiracy. It's riddled with spies and corporate espionage, duplicitous side characters with agendas of their own. Its first act ends in a dramatic heist. And in many ways, you don't know what consequences your choices might create.
CD Projekt unveiled its Phantom Liberty DLC with a typically bombastic trailer today at the Xbox showcase, but we've also seen it behind closed doors out in Los Angeles - a good chunk of it, in fact - as we played through about an hour of the expansion and spoke to game director Gabriel Amatangelo and lead environment artist Kacper Niepokólczycki about what you can expect.
Our impressions? Compared to the explosiveness of the base game's original unveiling, and its trailer today, Phantom Liberty was a little more muted.
