Cyberpunk 2077 has had one of gaming’s most impactful comeback stories to date. Rivaling the likes of No Man’s Sky, the game effectively came back from a point of no return and made a place in the hearts of millions of fans.
A large part of this comeback was the Phantom Liberty expansion, which launched in 2023. Exactly three years after its release, director Pawel Sasko has reflected on the DLC’s release. He also noted that Phantom Liberty’s success does not erase the game’s botched launch.
Why it matters: Cyberpunk 2077 marked CDPR’s most anticipated release to date, but the game was nothing short of a disaster and ended up being a disappointment at launch.
