Another game's been confirmed for Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live event at Gamescom next week, and it is, of course, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (yes, we know it's technically an expansion, and not a game). Keighley's promising "a world premiere new look at gameplay", while Cyberpunk 2077's official social media account clarifies that it'll be a gameplay trailer.
Still, if you're looking forward to diving back into Night City in September, this should be a hype showing.
Other confirmed Opening Night Live titles include Crimson Desert, Black Myth: Wukong, and Alan Wake 2. We wouldn't be at all surprised to see a few more attendees be revealed in the coming days.
And for what it's worth, Keighley has stressed that this year's show is about big updates on upcoming games. As such, we'd advise against going into this event expecting megaton announcement after megaton announcement. It's looking like new trailers, gameplay demos, and release dates (hopefully!) will be the focus.
Are you up for seeing more of Phantom Liberty? Remember to respec your character in comments section below.

I can’t wait to play this. Absolutely loved Cyberpunk.
No thanks, Geoff.
I bought Cyberpunk a couple of months ago, and loved it for two weeks or so - but since hearing of the DLC and update in September, am holding off playing it again until then. Almost painful, waiting.
Looking forward to playing the DLC! plus there should be some big base game updates too.
Excited for this. Planning on starting a whole new save with the 2.0 update as well.
Still no NG+ - hopefully it will be part of the DLC launch. I would have spent more time playing the thing if had had NG+
I put maybe fifteen hours into the game when the PS5 version came out. I was enjoying it but even in that state it felt unfinished. I’ve absolutely missed the game since, like a pull in my subconscious. I preordered the expansion a while back and am genuinely looking forward to playing the final, most complete version of the game.
I'm ready to see CDPR's comeback, I still have not finished the campaign and especially when this update is around the corner.
@KaijuKaiser The whole choice making mattering, bargaining with bad cops, "the most believable open world," dynamic events, being able to customize your car and your life paths making your storyline unique? Yes all of them were lies and people were incredibly pissed about it. Although what the devs are saying about everything getting a rework sounds like it is practically a new game, but I am not expecting the amount of promises they made before launch to actually make it into this update.
Been holding out since day one.. played the demo at Christmas family dinner last year and thankfully all the kids were outside playing when the big knee knocker phallus popped up lmao my whole family was rolling laughing at the randomness of it.. can’t wait for a real and full play through.. itching for a new RPG hope it’s worth the wait!
@deadfred77 ...and when September arrives, wait some more for them to fix the inevitable bugs!
Cyberpunk has been the best game I've played on PS5 so far. Super excited for the DLC!
I finished it as female V. I have always meant to do a male run. I might when this comes out.
I have 2 episodes left of Cyberpunk Edgerunners and I’m liking it so much I’m thinking about playing the game when this comes out. I probably would have played it by now but I really don’t like first person view but as I said I’m willing to give it a go b/c that’s how good the show has been. Unless it ends on a big cliffhanger like Arcane then I’m not.😂
Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3 will be going on pause as soon this is released.
@Thumper - well, with any luck the bugs will be in the DLC, and I won't get to that for a while..
@KaijuKaiser I bought it long enough after launch that I wasn't really thinking about 'broken promises' from the Devs - if you just take it for what it is, I found it to be a great-looking (quite superficial) city, great acting/characters, and plentiful, gory, satisfying combat. The police are immersion-breaking in their crapness, but this should improve via this update.
Still got a sealed copy in a closet somewhere. Hopefully I'll get around to this eventually. All the improvements sound impressive
Hard to be interested in anything other than Spider-Man 2 for me.
@KaijuKaiser Nope, Cyberpunk felt like a Far Cry game with… well… cyberpunk… dressings put on top of it. I played through it at launch, had some bugs, but nothing too crazy (but I do enjoy funny bugs and I did get some of those). The story was… there? I dunno. The story didn’t do anything for me personally. The open world was a joke. CDPR’s “we don’t do fetch quests, we do real quests!” mythos was exposed as a fraudulent statement.
However, I will admit, the game itself wasn’t bad. The problem is more or less that it wasn’t good either. The worst thing a game can be is boring and MOR and Cyberpunk was that in total for me. It was the epitome of a 5/10, 6/10 tier title, in my eyes. And this was while being absolutely forgiving of the bugs.
The most memorable feature of the game to me was that it was one of the few games that was perhaps best optimized for Stadia as a platform (the only other one I can think of was Destiny 2). Purchasing it on Stadia also made it really easy to find loopholes into getting multiple Stadias and copies of the game on both the Stadia platform and others. I got two free Stadias and three free copies of Cyberpunk (on two platforms, no less) by purchasing it once. Quite a steal, honestly. I’m surprised Google wasn’t aware of the get Stadia free with the purchase of Cyberpunk/get Cyberpunk free with the purchase of Stadia thing.
