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.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Easter egg lets you find Idris Elba's spy before the expansion starts
28.09.2023 - 12:07 / techradar.com / Idris Elba / Projekt Red / Solomon Reed
Cyberpunk 2077 players have been able to find Idris Elba's character out in the world before his questline even begins.
Minor spoilers follow for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty .
Early on in Phantom Liberty, we learn that Solomon Reed, Elba's superspy character, has spent the last seven years as a sleeper agent for the New United States of America. Before being reactivated as part of the expansion's opening, Reed claims to have been working deep undercover as a bouncer at one of Night City's infamous nightclubs.
Showing impressive attention to detail, developer CD Projekt Red has made it possible for players to encounter Reed in his undercover guise before the events of Phantom Liberty even begin (via IGN). Those wanting to see Reed's former life can travel to the Electric Orgasam club, just to the northwest of Corpo Plaza. Wait until nightfall, and you'll find Reed in his undercover alias, working as a bouncer on the door.
Cyberpunk 2077 is full of juicy little details like this one that helps to flesh out the game world. This nod to Solomon Reed's cover identity is hardly the first.
After the release of the well-received Cyberpunk 2077 anime, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, CD Projekt Red added a short questline to the game to reflect the events of the series' tearjerking finale. Players can find a recording of the anime's opening scene, which starts a mission chain. Talk to the right people, and you'll be able to get your hands on the iconic jacket worn by the series' main character, David Martinez.
Despite its rocky launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has come into its own in recent times. This is partly due to the launch of Phantom Liberty but also thanks to the release of a free 2.0 update that radically altered the game's progression system, improving the scope for character customization.
If you've yet to give CD Projekt Red's sci-fi RPG a go, there's never been a better time to dive in and see the game's latest incarnation for yourself.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Will Automatically Disable Mods
Cyberpunk 2077 fans are gearing up to start the significant expansion for the game Phantom Liberty. This title launched in a disastrous state. However, CD Projekt Red worked hard to turn things around. As a result, this likely prompted several features and expansions to be scrapped. Fortunately, when the developers turned things around for Cyberpunk 2077, it also came with enough time to warrant the arrival of one expansion. Before you dive into Phantom Liberty and see just what has been added to Night City, it’s worth noting that all of your mods active in the game will be turned off.
