He plays NUSA agent Solomon Reed
We got another glimpse atCyberpunk 2077’s paid Phantom Liberty expansion atThe Game Awardstonight, revealing that Luther, Knuckles and Stringer Bell himself Idris Elba will be joining yer man Keanu in its starry cast. Come and see him in action in the reveal trailer below.
Elba plays veteran New United States Of America agent Solomon Reed, and is apparently the only person V can trust in this new expansion. As CDPR hinted at in Phantom Liberty’s first official teaser trailer, the story is very much a “spy-thriller” compared to 2077 proper, and Reed will play a vital role in helping you complete your mission.
As well as introducing Solomon Reed to proceedings, the second official teaser trailer for Phantom Liberty also gives us an up close and personal look at Dogtown, a new area of Night City where you’ll be cyberpunking for most of the expansion. In fairness, it looks like you’ll still be shooting, slicing and driving into all sorts of goons for the duration, so whether it will look and feel substantially different to the base game remains to be seen.
