According to the creator of the anime, the series will be canon for the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, will feature characters from the game, and be a prequel to Cyberpunk 2077. The question of “do you need to have played Cyberpunk 2077 to understand the show” was raised alongside this information. Luckily the answer is no and you can enjoy whichever first without any worries of spoilers.
Studio Trigger creators of Kill La Kill, Promare and Little Witch Academia have faithfully reconstructed Night City to feel like home, you’ll definitely be able to point out many locations from the game and even routes to where the characters may be heading.

Cyberpunk 2077: Expansion – Phantom Liberty
Finally, we got our first look at the upcoming expansion titled Phantom Liberty in the form of a teaser trailer. Not many details were shown off other than V possibly joining some form of a military faction that as Johnny Silverhand said “Is a bad idea”, so we’ll be possibly working for the bad guys perhaps. However, something we do know is that Keanu Reeves will be returning for the DLC, most likely voicing Johnny Silverhand once more.

Another subject about the upcoming expansion was that it may only be the sole expansion for Cyberpunk 2077. This is understandable that CD PROJEKT RED would be putting a line in the sand when discussing future content due to the game’s controversial launch. Hopefully, if the expansion is successful it will provide inspiration for more content.
Phantom Liberty is currently scheduled for 2023 and will be available for PC, Stadia, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Here is the official teaser for the Phantom Liberty expansion below:
