Summary
Igor Sarzyński, the creative director ofCyberpunk 2077, has taken to Twitter to tantalize fans with hints about what appears to be one of the final secrets yet to be uncovered in the Phantom Liberty quest. His post emerged a few days after another developer revealed that there are several closely guarded secrets withinCyberpunk 2077’s universe that no player has yet stumbled upon.
Since its revival with the Phantom Liberty DLC in September 2023,Cyberpunk 2077has consistently delighted fans with unexpected surprises. For enthusiasts of Easter eggs and references, the game has become a treasure trove of exploration, especially within the sprawling Night City and the newly introduced Dogtown area. Iconic examples abound, such asHideo Kojima’s surprising cameo inCyberpunk 2077, the inclusion of Batman’s iconic vehicle, the Batmobile, and the immortal dilemma of “blue pill or red pill?” fromThe Matrix.
Just when fans believed the game had been fully explored, with allCyberpunk 2077mysteries and Easter eggsuncovered, the game’s creative director, Igor Sarzyński, threw a curveball by posting a cryptic message on Twitter. According to Sarzyński, there remains one elusive mystery in Dogtown that has seemingly eluded every gamer’s notice, as the phrase “Phantom Liberty” is hidden somewhere within the game. Sarzyński provided two clues: It’s an in-world appearance, and the title drop does not count.
When pressed for further details and additional hints, Sarzyński confirmed that the covert title reveal occurs within the Phantom Liberty questline. Since the developer teased fans with his post, gamers have been diligently replaying and scrutinizing Dogtown in search of this final secret. And according to Sarzyński, one individual has come remarkably close to the answer: Twitter user Vesn4 noted that the words “Phantom Liberty” fleetingly appear on the screen as V boots up the shard received at the onset of the Birds with Broken Wings quest.
Although the booting screen codename appears to be the most promising lead toward uncovering Phantom Liberty’s secret, it is not the elusive hidden title drop that Sarzyński has teased players about. In the same Twitter thread, Sarzyński hinted further by stating, “Someone in the thread is really close,” likely in response to Vesn4’s observation regarding the Birds with Broken Wings codename.
Where Is “Phantom Liberty?”
At present,Cyberpunk 2077enthusiasts continue their quest to unearth the elusive Phantom Liberty secret within and around Dogtown. Surprisingly, the pursuit of this final hidden feature appears to be more protracted than anticipated, with Sarzyński opting to drop hints rather than outright revealing the answer. However, by piecing together all the clues provided, players should likely anticipate encountering the words “Phantom Liberty” inscribed somewhere within the world ofCyberpunk 2077—rather than being displayed on the screen, as exemplified by Vesn4’s discovery.
