Keanu Reeves has appeared at today’s Xbox Games Showcase (June 11) to share a new trailer and release date for Cyberpunk 2077‘s Phantom Liberty downloadable content (DLC), which will see the John Wick star pair up with Idris Elba.
During the showcase, Reeves — who plays the digital ghost of rockstar-turned-terrorist Johnny Silverhand — introduced Phantom Liberty’s latest trailer, which confirmed the expansion will be launching on September 26.
The trailer also explored Phantom Liberty‘s plot, which follows Silverhand and protagonist V on a mission to rescue the President of the New United States of America, who is shot down over Night City’s “deadliest” district.
“Infiltrate Dogtown, a city-within-a-city run by a trigger-happy militia and ruled by a leader with an iron fist,” reads a newly-launched Steam page for Phantom Liberty.
“With the help of NUSA sleeper agent Solomon Reed (Idris Elba) and the support of Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves), unravel a web of shattered loyalties and use your every skill to survive in a fractured world of desperate hustlers, shadowy netrunners, and ruthless mercenaries.”
“Built with the power of next-gen hardware in mind, Phantom Liberty offers brand-new gameplay mechanics, nail-biting courier jobs, gigs, and missions — and a thrilling main quest where freedom and loyalty always come at a price,” it adds.
Pre-orders for Phantom Liberty are now open, and the expansion will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC — meaning it won’t be available for Cyberpunk 2077‘s last-gen versions on the Xbox One or PS4.
Elsewhere, today’s Xbox Games Showcase also saw Ubisoft announce an open-world Star Wars game, Obsidian share a new look at Avowed, and Richard Ayoade star in the latest Fable trailer.
It was also a great showcase for Persona fans, who were treated to two new game announcements from Atlus.
