Not much was revealed by CD PROJEKT RED about Phantom Liberty. Based on the trailer, the story will focus on the New United States of America. During the Night City Wire, Game Director Gabriel Amatengelo said “we’re having a lot of fun with it. It’s a new kind of style of a plot we’re having fun with, new cast of characters, expanding on a district in Night City where it primarily takes place.” Phantom Liberty also sees the return of Johhny Silverhand as well as Keanu Reeves who played the character in the base game.

The biggest thing coming with update 1.6 is the introduction of transmog into the game. Players can now change the appearance of V’s outfit without changing the armor stats. Up to 6 outfits can be created using the pieces of clothing you own by accessing the wardrobe in any of V’s apartments and safehouses. You can then switch between them in the inventory panel. In addition, players can now go to Ripper Docs to change their appearance. There are new hairstyles for players to choose from.

Unfortunately, one day, he loses everything,” Sztybor said. “But he gets one thing in return. This thing is a very powerful and dangerous cyberware who can change his life forever. Now the question is, will David take it and fulfill his dream or not?
