Unveiling the Enigmatic Sequel Tease of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Highlights

Cyberpunk 2077's latest update and DLC, Phantom Liberty, have significantly improved the game and fulfilled its original promises.

Phantom Liberty introduces significant non-playable characters (NPCs) such as Mr. Blue Eyes, whose enigmatic presence adds depth to the lore of Night City and the story of the game. Although the true importance of Mr. Blue Eyes may not be fully comprehended by players at present, there is anticipation that future sequels, like Project Orion, will provide further insight into his character and background.

Despite its disastrous launch in 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 has made a remarkable comeback over the past three years. With the release of the 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty expansion, the game has regained its appeal and captured the attention of many players. Phantom Liberty sets a new benchmark for RPG DLC, and the praises for update 2.0 are widespread, as they have finally brought the game closer to its initial promised experience. Although there are still a few minor glitches, the overall transformation of the game is undeniable.

While Phantom Liberty can be enjoyed as a standalone DLC, certain elements are better understood within the context of the main game. Johnny Silverhand attempts to provide new players with a brief catch-up if they dive into Dogtown right away, but there are crucial aspects that can only be fully appreciated by playing a portion of the base game beforehand. Notable examples include the appearances of Cyberpunk 2077 NPCs like Mr. Hands, although their interactions have been crafted in a way that doesn't isolate newer fans. However, one character, Mr. Blue Eyes, remains a mystery unless players have already experienced the intricacies of CP2077, as his role may be connected to Project Orion, the highly anticipated Cyberpunk sequel.

Mr. Blue Eyes Appears in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Mr. Blue Eyes, an elusive character in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, can be found in a rather inconspicuous manner. During the main story quest The Killing Moon, players will eventually reach the objective of taking the elevator to the roof. As they pass an overhanging observation deck, they will notice a few NPCs looking down at V from the windows. Among them is the mysterious Mr. Blue Eyes. To even spot him, players require the appropriate cyberware to zoom in and scan him.

New players of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty may not be familiar with this NPC and may choose to overlook him in their eagerness to progress through the story quest. Even those who have completed the base game are unlikely to have any knowledge regarding the identity of Mr. Blue Eyes, as he remains an enigmatic figure in CP2077's storyline. Similarly, in the DLC, he continues to be a background character for fans to discover without any further involvement.

Despite his significance in Night City's lore and Cyberpunk 2077 as a whole, Mr. Blue Eyes remains a mysterious character. He serves as V's employer in one of the game's endings, hiring the renowned mercenary for a dangerous assignment in Night City. Additionally, he played a crucial role in facilitating Songbird's journey to the moon. However, the reasons behind his actions and his true identity continue to elude players, even in the Phantom Liberty DLC.

It is perplexing that a character with such a significant presence, including a prominent role in one of Cyberpunk 2077's endings, remains relatively unknown. Although Mr. Blue Eyes' frequent appearances hint at his importance, they reveal very little about him. Nevertheless, there remains a possibility for fans to uncover answers in the upcoming sequel, Project Orion. As Mr. Blue Eyes is predominantly featured in the conclusion of CP2077, he may have a role to play in the franchise's future rather than its present.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
