The trailer runs through a fewPhantom Liberty highlights. We’re introduced to Idris Elba’s Solomon Reed and the new Dogtown area, alongside new scenes with existing characters like Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand, who advises V to “play but don’t get played”. There’s a pinch of bike combat, a smidgeon of swordplay, and an evocative theme tune with vocals from Dawid Podsiadło. It certainly looks like the tour de force Graham described in hisCyberpunk 2007: Phantom Libertyreview. But yeah, if you favoured Drea’s V you’re fresh out of luck, chooms.

There’s been a certain amount of pushback on socials and forums about the absence of “Male V” or Vincent from Phantom Liberty’s marketing materials. To head off the obvious response, I don’t think it’s all down to sexism; Drea does a fine job with the character and has many fans, including Gene Park off the Washington Post. Mind you, I’m not surethisunofficial poster is the one the petitioners should be sending to CD Projekt PR. It makes Male V look like the last hamster in the petshop, the one that’s been there so long he’s fallen in love with his water bottle.
Also i hate that CDPR couldn’t bother making Male V version of Phantom Liberty cover, they did both V’s cover for the main game but they neglected my boy on this one hard.pic.twitter.com/k0VsNoEFWq— Erdem Atıcı (@2paclypsenow)September 22, 2023
