Piping hot off the Night City Today News, folks - we just had a torrent of juicy details about Cyberpunk 2077's forthcoming expansion, Phantom Liberty, courtesy of the recent Xbox Games Showcase and developer CD Projekt RED.

Fans of the original game have been on tenterhooks for the best part of a year, with the expansion having been announced last year and now we're gearing up for its official launch this September.

For those who are uninitiated, Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in the gritty and glamorous Night City, where you play as V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary.

Phantom Liberty, the much-anticipated expansion to this cyberpunk spectacle, sees V's story continue as they're thrust into the new district of Dogtown, with a mission that could quite literally save their life. The mission, you ask? Oh, just the tiny task of investigating the death of the president of the New United States.

One of the enticing hooks for this narrative is the introduction of a new ally, NUSA agent Solomon Reed, voiced by none other than Idris Elba - yes, the same man who many want to play as James Bond himself. Elba's character complements V's usual cadre of rogues, including the return of best frenemy Johnny Silverhand, portrayed by the inimitable Keanu Reeves.
