Phantom Liberty unfolds amidst the backdrop of Cyberpunk 2077's main storyline, introducing an entirely fresh district, an accompanying storyline, unique abilities, and more. Accessible on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S, this expansion, as shared by Phantom Liberty's game director, Gabe Amatangelo in an interview with Wccftech, will significantly influence the course of events for V in Dogtown. This, in turn, can yield a distinct ending in the expansion and potentially unlock a novel conclusion in the base game.
The enigmatic interaction between V and Songbird seems to kickstart this thrilling journey, as suggested by the official Phantom Liberty trailer.
Songbird in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty
Within the world of Phantom Liberty, Songbird occupies a place of prominence, sharing the limelight with V and Solomon Reed. According to Igor Sarzyński, the narrative director of Phantom Liberty, these three characters take center stage in the expansion's narrative.
Song So Mi, or Songbird, is introduced as a skilled and enigmatic netrunner hailing from the New United States of America (NUSA). She holds the esteemed position of being the right hand of NUSA President Rosalind Myers. It is Songbird who initiates contact with V, urging them to venture into Dogtown. Her mission: the rescue of President Myers, who finds herself stranded in the tumultuous and militia-controlled district after the crash-landing of Space Force One.
In terms of personality, Songbird promises to be a character who will elicit diverse reactions from players. She will likely compel players to contemplate the motivations, actions, and objectives of their own V. The official cinematic trailer for the expansion provides a glimpse into Songbird's complex past. Seven years prior to the events of Phantom Liberty, Songbird perplexingly betrayed her long-standing partner and mentor, Reed, leaving him stranded and vulnerable amidst a hostile Arasaka troop-filled passenger train.
As the storyline progresses, we witness Songbird accompanying President Myers on her ill-fated journey, laden with her own burdens, before their vessel faces a catastrophic downfall.
Evidently, the intricate history shared between Songbird and Reed will introduce compelling dynamics into V's overarching quest to overcome their Relic-induced ailment within the gripping narrative of Phantom Liberty.
