Agreed Disco Elysium is top tier writing wise. Though it's a VERY different style of storytelling, more novelistic and using your imagination than immersive and cinematic like this. I love both but definitely prefer the first person 3D nature of Cyberpunk @@execthegaming
Absolutely gutted by the time the curtains fell. In the best possible way. Felt like I'd lost lifelong friends even though the DLC main story wasn't THAT long. Incredible writing, voice acting, everything.
@marcraider I hope since it's going to be in UE5 they take literally every minute of development they need. I don't want it to have another launch like 2077.
The whole sequence is a masterpiece, but the way the heart monitor fades out at the "In loving memory of" section, while the lyrics "Treasures are lost" play, is heartbreaking.
My favourite moment is when V surrounded by 4 figures ("Kings" Misty warned you about), falls with their hands on their head, unable to choose or bear their influence pulling in different directions anymore
The only thing stopping him is being old…like he is really old, I dunno if he can do the whole Bond rizz. But I’d love to see him in a more serious spy thriller.
The end credits makes even more sense and hurts so much more after completing all the endings for PL. Such a beautiful but rightfully depressing credits scene. 10/10 CDPR.
@@JB-xl2jc Glad you stuck with So Mi to the end too! Honestly, I was having doubts when I played through the stadium and airport attack sequence - so many civs started dying around us and cause of our decisions. I started questioning "Is all these really worth it? All these innocent deaths? Just for the both of us to survive?". But in the end, I didn't regret my choice - I'm all in.
This whole story really got me interested in Cyberpunk lore. Love how even in a techno sci-fi universe something like the black wall can have such a mystical and mysterious presence.
These credits amplified the pain i felt after the ending. I sided with reed, saved songbird and got the gaurantee of the help i needed. Despite all of that i sat there for half an hour reflecting on it. Id say this sequence made that reflection last 25 mins longer than it wouldve without it
Wow we are polar opposites. I was so pissed off at Reed and the NUSA during the airport incident that I shot Reed like a dog. Turns out he only dies in one shot and has a dramatic death where he kneels by So-Mi but I fired off three revolver shots so he just fell dead and I sent So-Mi to the moon. I wanted nothing to do with the government, and I would have sided with Berghast if given the chance if it helped So-Mi.
I did everything to help Songbird short of shooting Reed. Which I felt was very tragic because the last words my V told her was that she didnt forgive her for lying about the cure, but she would 100% still have gotten her onto the ship. Presumebly meaning that Songbird thinks that V betrayed her because she was honest rather than because she couldnt kill Reed.
The mission in which you infiltrate the Casino is named " You know my name " which is the song that plays at the end of 'Casino Royale', Daniel Craig's first Bond movie and arguably the best one.
@@alejandrobonilla3049 IMO the best ending is sending So Mi to the moon and then doing Don't Fear the Reaper, Arasaka and NUSA both get their shit pushed in by V and retreat to lick their wounds.
@@JB-xl2jcthat's literally just giving up the world to Rogue AIs tho Even though they are evil, I feel the best about leaving it in Arasaka's hands given how they're the most stable option.
This DLC and the reinvention of cyberpunk is a masterclass by CD Projekt Red. Hands down the best DLC I’ve ever played and truly rivals any complete game. In my opinion Phantom Liberty is a better experience than the main storyline
The first part (beginning to around 5:27) feels like the *opening* credits sequence of a Bond film, which is fun when you consider that it plays at the very end. Damn good cinematography, too, with the visuals of Hansen and Myers placing their pieces, Songbird walking out of the core transitioning down into Reed walking out of the Black Sapphire(?) to meet her, and finally what *looks* like the Blackwall transitioning back into the heart monitor visual from the beginning of the animation to show us that after all this, that timer's still ticking - which makes sense, because no matter *what* you did at the close of this, whether you chose to set Songbird free or drive one more knife into her back, no matter whether your mind is set on choosing a blaze of glory or the old, quiet life, you're still dying. The only thing that's changed is that now you have another lifeline to cling to when the time comes to make your choice - but every way out comes at a cost, *and this one's no different.*
There is actually more thematic bond stuff throughout the DLC, "YOU KNOW MY NAME" mission being a casino royale named mission in which you literally break into a fancy hotel, crash the party and gamble during your spy mission
Idk why, but i decided that the worst ending ( they are all sad in reality) where we let so mi die is the cannon one, nc, cyberpunk 2077 world never has a happy ending, even netflix show taught us that, and ending credits are perfect conclusion for it
@@alexvoronin2142 I sent So Mi to the stars. It didn't matter how much she lied to me or whats he did wrong, because she had the same dream V did. So my V did everything he could to make sure at least one of them made it.
@@kodakwacked8210 It's so good dude, I want to say I don't cry often in games but this year has been too full of bangers. I didn't even do the other endings because it was such a definitive experience for me.
@@Straight_Pagan I think the song is just called "Phantom Liberty" by Dawid Podsiadło. He's a polish music artist. The song hasn't been officially released yet though. The release date for the song is tomorrow.
SAME Im usually so quick to slam that skip button lol but the music and vibe kicked in and I was staring at my screen in disbelief of the craftsmanship on display. The way the song and visuals perfectly encapsulate the themes and emotions of the story. I literally gave a standing ovation to my screen at home by myself like a fucking loser LOL as if CDPR could hear it through the ether
I sent her to the stars. Despite everything. Despite the betrayal. Despite the lies. I couldn't bring myself to hate her for it. Angry, yes. But understanding. "I would've helped you anyway." Was the truth. She's been dealing with this problem far longer then V's been dealing with her own. Robbed of a normal childhood. Robbed of a normal life. Turned into a living weapon more then a living being and was only seen as a tool rather then a person by the government that used her. Given a death sentence and yet even if they healed her, they'd put her back to work. So she did what she had to. To escape. To survive. To be free. And I understood her. And I forgave her. Reed was so hinged on Songbird. He cared for her, to a point where it felt like an obsession to me. Wanted to save her but also wanted to serve his country, despite how it treated his comrades. I felt horrible putting that bullet in his head, but he refused to decide between his friends and his country. He wanted both, despite whatever costs that would take. I could've reloaded, gone back to get the other endings. Still could. But I dunno. I think i'm ok with the ending I got. Oh. And then I did the one thing i had been saving for last; Don't Fear The Reaper. Felt like a damn good way to finish after everything. And then I got the Tempest ending.
After thinking a lot about this, I've come to the conclusion that saving So Mi is the good ending after all. Even though Reed dies by your hand, he is the one to pull the trigger, methaphorically speaking. He decides to wait for you at that space shuttle, because he can't live with the possibility of failing his ideals and still keep living. As Johnny says in the other ending, Reed is a man who will follow his ideals blindly, even if that means trumpling everyone that is close to him in the process. He is also a man who thinks he can control everything, and that's why he feels responsible for everything. Even when Myers clearly forces Songbird to betray him, he thinks its his fault. He just can't see that being loyal to a fascist government and respecting one's individuality are things that will never mix. Reed truly dies being crushed by two walls: the loyalty to his ideals and his desire to protect his friends. He should've chosen one path long ago, but even after 7 ears, he was not able to.
I disagree with other commenter that So Mi is just a rogue AI by the point we leave her. I dont think its implied but definitely left open to interpretation. More importantly I think if you LIKE both So Mi and Reed the only logical thing to do is kill him. If you hand over So Mi she’s likely to be imprisoned both physically and mentally if not killed after having her system scanned. Reed is also VERY likely to just be disposed of after he finishes his mission here, idk where his “uwu myers likes me” comes from she literally already tried to off him once. I haven’t done any ending but saving So Mi yet so idk, but I can’t see V having a good ending(after choosing So Mi initially) Myers doesn’t seem like that. Maybe if you ALWAYS side with NUSA but they don’t seem the type to forgive and forget nor live and let live
@@SHEANGOMESJohnny also outright says that sooner or later, Reed staying in this line of work WILL kill him, both mentally and physically so his fate is either chafing at a “cushy” (in as much as you can get cushy in Cyberpunk) desk job far away from the field or metaphorically (or literally) hanging himself
I can’t bring myself to help Songbird. There’s so much collateral damage involved in that path. Indiscriminate massacres at the stadium and the spaceport. Songbird is desperate, but the fact that she has nothing to offer in return for her escape forces me to consider what makes her life worth more than so many other bystanders. The hard truth is that no one owes anything to Songbird except pity. Pity only gets you so far.
You know when the moment that if the credits start and they give you chills, this was a hell of a story, the way this dlc plays psychologically with you is amazing…making you chose between two sides all the time.
I got the songbird ending where I let her leave with the cure and killed reed, it’s my favorite ending, even though song lied she spent her entire adult life around selfish greedy political faces and blindly loyal soldiers, she trusted V but didn’t want to risk her only shot to live by telling V she was only in it for herself, even though V would help her regardless because they care about so mi , at least that’s how my V was
In between the casting of Idris Elba as the superspy deuteragonist, the whole "You Know My Name" quest and the credits animation/theme, I'm starting to think that they may like the James Bond movies at CDPR...
Video game stories are really starting to transcend the medium. All too often, even good stories, they don't end up standing out as an interesting story seperate from the medium. Lots of films have done this, they stand out as great stories apart from the medium of film. But video games have really struggled to do this. I reckon Phantom Liberty really stands out in this regard.
I got no music, my game glitched out because Judy was at my V's apartment & my ending for Phantom Liberty puts V back at the apartment in the end. So the whole credits, I just kept hearing Judy going, "V? You good?" "Come on, V!" "Something wrong, V?" etc...
So the sequel will deal with the fall of Arasaka, the rise of Zetatech, the state of Dogtown after Kurt Hanson's death and quite possibly the rising tensions to/the fallout of the 5th corporate war. I'd also like to explore the state of the black wall after Songbird's tampering of it. Perhaps she opened a back door that Netwatch is desperately trying to close or is unaware of. Whether we're still playing as V or as a new protagonist, I hope to see V at some point. It would be a shame if they died off screen after everything we went through in 2077. I doubt we'll see Johnny or Reed again, except maybe as cameos or just mentioned in conversation. My biggest hope is that the sequel will remember your decisions from the first game. It'd feel weird if you were to have Rogue die in 2077 but she's still kicking in the sequel. It would really make the "choices matter" aspect of the game's branding hit harder than it did in 2077
I imagine at least _some_ of your hopes will come true. For example, with the Witcher games, CDPR made it so that you could import saves from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3, so I imagine they’d do the same with Cyberpunk.
@@anomitasnot unrealistic, it’s called putting in the work and outlining the branches and tailoring the story through it. It might be hard but not fuckkn impossible. These developers are just lazy about shit like that nowadays
@@mrlucky9157 I understand why they did it but Songbird and V were just as big roles, when you see the credits roll on a film they don't exclude the lead even if they're not as well known an actor
@@Pepsi_Man_Max They are credited with the rest of voice actors at 7:25. That's the case with all games. Like I said, Keanu and Idris are credited at 1:00 only because they were paid big bucks to market this game.
Man, this expansion was amazing. Cyberpunk turned into suge a huge W in the end. I really wish we could get more V, but I totally get that his story is over.
The credits were unplayable for me. Failed to render and would consistently crash about a minute in, so thanks for the upload. My save file is bricked now lol thanks CDPR
@@ChrisisAwesome1what mod was it? Or did you just disable all of them? In the future troubleshoot each mod bit by bit and try to share the knowledge, believe it or not you’ll help at least a few people that way. I’ll go first :) Mod settings mod disables the “new game” button on the main menu.
What confuses me is how they list the credits. They give VO credit to Reeves and Elba, but im not sure where the credits for the rest of the major VA's are. V, Song, Myers, Hanson, ect.. Why are they not together? I get that the two are "bigger names" but i think ALL the VA's did an incredible job!
Only thing that kinda irks me a little is that they use female V in the credits which kinda broke my immersion. I get that it would have been difficult to implement your own personal character into the credits but I personally think they should use Male V if you chose that. Besides that one little gripe, I absolutely loved this end credits.
@@MumboJumboZXC If I’m being honest I disagree. I’ve played both and although there are a few moments where the female voice stands out, I believe the male one just fits most scenarios better. He feels like a broken man who tries to suppress his sorrow as she feels more aggressive and sarcastic towards everyone. At the end of the day it’s a matter of opinion and I do think they both shine in different ways.
Or at least just make a different one depending on who you played as. My working theory is that the OG male V they used in the trailers back in 2019 never actually looked the same in the game. The default female V does, however. So, they just stuck with her.
@@JustinCage56 I think male V was just heavily associated with the launch version of the game. They started using female V when 1.5 and the next gen versions release to separate themselves from that image of the game
This song and these end credits gave me the vibe of a Bond films. Great job by CD Project Red.
Great job by Dawid Podsiadło.
If you like this I recomend you Where Did Your Love Gone by Dawid
Better than Bond's op in the past 15 years, except you know my name.
@@CPKGUNZYou know my name will always be the GREATEST bond opening. Maybe Skyfall in 2nd place.
One thing I noticed was You Know My Name, the seventh mission in the expansion. Immediately thought of Chris Cornell’s Casino Royale intro.
Yoooooooo thats exactly what i thought when i saw it
given how this was canonically meant to be a spy operation, that surely isnt a coincedence
When these credits stoppes rolling I stared at my screen like "well it's gonna be awhile before I play a story that good again"... Felt empty

The Nomad dialogue is great here. "Space is true freedom, So Mi..." while buckling her seat belt and tucking her in.
@@JB-xl2jc yea the nomad dialogue felt so right if you truly forgave so-mi (which I did)
@@cobiemccoy Same here. Who better than a Nomad unfairly chained to Night City to understand why the songbird would do anything to escape her captors?
Let her fly high. 🕊
Reminds me of James Bond movies.
I got goosebumps ❤❤❤ thank you for these beautiful end credits 😍🙏
You're welcome 😊
CDPR was definitely going for James Bond vibes here.
Feels like a bond song and I love it
Official song apparently comes tomorrow fellas 🎉
Video game stories are really starting to transcend the medium. All too often, even good stories, they don't end up standing out as an interesting story seperate from the medium. Lots of films have done this, they stand out as great stories apart from the medium of film. But video games have really struggled to do this. I reckon Phantom Liberty really stands out in this regard.
Good point!
Facts! I imagine this expansion will even catch some eyes outside of the gaming community.
This is incredible!
Beats out RDR2 for best ending for me. Made me cry, hard.
Thank choom, really needed this song
Kinda Wish Male V can be in this scene if you play as male.
Idc what anybody says, this is one of the best DLC’s I’ve ever played.
3:19 - 3:56 best part
The only thing I hate is that it only shows female v, even though I chose male V
Best Bond intro sequence in the last 20 years.
After finishing this dlc in 2024 i think i Finally get why people said cyberpunk was peak
This DLC > all bethesda games
This sequence is AWESOME... full 007 opening vibes
May you Find rest So mi. I hope the afterlife will be kinder to you, may you fly high little bird.
This makes me tear up , I really don't want to shoot him but there's just no other way...
I knew this was cinema the moment i realised Hansen's hand was the chimera
Watching this while snake eater plays is sick!
a fucking masterpiece of storytelling is what this game is. doubt I'll ever see anything better, at least from any other studio
CDPR always delivers
I got no music, my game glitched out because Judy was at my V's apartment & my ending for Phantom Liberty puts V back at the apartment in the end. So the whole credits, I just kept hearing Judy going, "V? You good?" "Come on, V!" "Something wrong, V?" etc...
Haha that's the same reason why I'm here too. Except it was Panam asking "what's up" while I'm trying to hold back tears
LMAO that happened to me but the second time playing
Freaking epic.... God Work cd proyec You Made it
Thanks a lot!
Phantom Liberty was the best Bond film ever
So the sequel will deal with the fall of Arasaka, the rise of Zetatech, the state of Dogtown after Kurt Hanson's death and quite possibly the rising tensions to/the fallout of the 5th corporate war. I'd also like to explore the state of the black wall after Songbird's tampering of it. Perhaps she opened a back door that Netwatch is desperately trying to close or is unaware of. Whether we're still playing as V or as a new protagonist, I hope to see V at some point. It would be a shame if they died off screen after everything we went through in 2077. I doubt we'll see Johnny or Reed again, except maybe as cameos or just mentioned in conversation. My biggest hope is that the sequel will remember your decisions from the first game. It'd feel weird if you were to have Rogue die in 2077 but she's still kicking in the sequel. It would really make the "choices matter" aspect of the game's branding hit harder than it did in 2077
Thats pretty tough to do, having the game play out differently depending on that many factors. I want it but i couldnt expect it
Very unrealistic, temper your expectations.
I imagine at least _some_ of your hopes will come true. For example, with the Witcher games, CDPR made it so that you could import saves from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3, so I imagine they’d do the same with Cyberpunk.
@@anomitasnot unrealistic, it’s called putting in the work and outlining the branches and tailoring the story through it. It might be hard but not fuckkn impossible. These developers are just lazy about shit like that nowadays
9:40 for peak
Damn Imma miss Alex, that scene was literally a goodbye in my playthrough 😔
James Bond vibes so fucking good
That was fucking incredible what a game
it feels like a james bond game
I love this game so fucking much
The only issue I have with Phantom Liberty is that Songbird and V should have been credited up there with Keanu and Idris, they all nailed it
Doesn't matter. Keanu and Idris are big stars whose faces were used in-game. Why would they credit some english voice actors specifically?
@@mrlucky9157 I understand why they did it but Songbird and V were just as big roles, when you see the credits roll on a film they don't exclude the lead even if they're not as well known an actor
@@Pepsi_Man_Max They are credited with the rest of voice actors at 7:25. That's the case with all games. Like I said, Keanu and Idris are credited at 1:00 only because they were paid big bucks to market this game.
@@mrlucky9157 Yeah it just seems a shame but I get it
It’s like a James Bond intro
Man, this expansion was amazing. Cyberpunk turned into suge a huge W in the end. I really wish we could get more V, but I totally get that his story is over.
Most came for the phantom liberty song i came for 5:35
I find it funny that cdpr will take videos down with this song but won’t release it such a shame
what's the name of the song that start at 10:07 please?
I can't fond it :'(
Shame the new lover at apartment feature broke the audio on the creddits for me
8:39 Michele "Sabaku" Poggi
Oddio che figata! Qual'è il personaggio che ha doppiato? Io l'ho giocato in inglese
Weird I got no music
7:25 Cast
The credits were unplayable for me. Failed to render and would consistently crash about a minute in, so thanks for the upload. My save file is bricked now lol thanks CDPR
damn. what platform? shame as there's more story content after the credits
@@culturalist Figured it out, was due to a mod. So if anyone else runs into the issue, disable all mods, then go into credits.
@@ChrisisAwesome1what mod was it? Or did you just disable all of them?
In the future troubleshoot each mod bit by bit and try to share the knowledge, believe it or not you’ll help at least a few people that way.
I’ll go first :)
Mod settings mod disables the “new game” button on the main menu.
You should delete your comment after realizing it was some mod’s fault
is there a song title for 5:29?
i wish it had a variant of cgi where it has a male v instead... but i think the animators aren't paying attention to variants maybe
What's the song at 9:40 called?
Hardest To Be ruclips.net/video/W2bB_NyWLi0/видео.html
Hardest to be
That's what I'm wondering as well
@@wibisana6440 thank you bro this goes so hard
Hell yeah Dawid Podsiadło is best
preem work dawid
V, Just V.
What's the title of the song that starts at 9:40?
Hardest to be
whats the name of this song?
Wires and Chains - Phantom Liberty by Dawid Podsiadło
@@BLACKHAWKAIRSOFT thank you. i tried shazam but it seems, this song is doesnt exists.😅
@@Straight_Pagancomes out officially tm I think
@@Straight_Paganit's an official song for the expansion of the game it's recently released
Phantom Liberty by Dawid Podsiadło
What confuses me is how they list the credits. They give VO credit to Reeves and Elba, but im not sure where the credits for the rest of the major VA's are. V, Song, Myers, Hanson, ect.. Why are they not together? I get that the two are "bigger names" but i think ALL the VA's did an incredible job!
songbird tricked us all...
Songbird was the only one to tell the truth at the end...
it is why i sent her to the stars@@deangraves7462
Songbird was the only character with a conscience in the end
Name song please
Phantom Liberty sing by Dawid Podsiadło.
Only thing that kinda irks me a little is that they use female V in the credits which kinda broke my immersion. I get that it would have been difficult to implement your own personal character into the credits but I personally think they should use Male V if you chose that.
Besides that one little gripe, I absolutely loved this end credits.
Female V is just better honestly. Voice actress has a better range.
@@MumboJumboZXC If I’m being honest I disagree. I’ve played both and although there are a few moments where the female voice stands out, I believe the male one just fits most scenarios better. He feels like a broken man who tries to suppress his sorrow as she feels more aggressive and sarcastic towards everyone. At the end of the day it’s a matter of opinion and I do think they both shine in different ways.
Or at least just make a different one depending on who you played as.
My working theory is that the OG male V they used in the trailers back in 2019 never actually looked the same in the game. The default female V does, however. So, they just stuck with her.
@@JustinCage56 I think male V was just heavily associated with the launch version of the game. They started using female V when 1.5 and the next gen versions release to separate themselves from that image of the game
Female V is CDPR's canon character. The male version was only included for marketing and the sake of player choice.
