It has been confirmed that a new set of characters will be introduced in the Phantom Liberty expansion, with whom V will come into contact in a new location in Night City. Phantom Liberty is scheduled for release in 2023 on PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Stadia. They have confirmed that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles will not receive it. Although not official, it may be because they are the systems that have been most hindering the multiplatform development of the game.
Following the trailer, a video message from Keanu Reeves was shown, announcing that he would reprise his role as Johnny Silverhand. It was feared that he would not repeat, being a Hollywood star. Giving his voice to the DLC would imply finding a place for him on the agenda and for this reason it was speculated that the expansion was going to be a prequel, or happen at a time when V does not yet have the engram of Johnny Silverhand in his head, which is at the start of the game. All of this was made possible by not having to call again. Keanu Reeves or having to find a gap in your schedule.
