In the world of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, players have discovered an Easter egg for fans of another renowned CD Projekt game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The recently released expansion of Cyberpunk 2077 contains a quite tricky-to-find surprise that connects these two worlds and offers a gift to some long-term fans of the studio.

With the 2.0 update of Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red's controversial game returned to the spotlight in a big way, finally fixing the majority of issues that plagued the game when it originally launched. Almost a week after the update, the new DLC Phantom Liberty was added, introducing an entirely new campaign that has already been well-received by critics. However, it didn't escape new controversies, as some players found anti-Russian messages in the Ukrainian version of Cyberpunk 2077. Nevertheless, the recent Easter egg discovered by players, rather than fueling controversy, is a gift.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty players discovered an Easter egg where they can hear the main song from The Witcher 3. As reported by IGN, within Phantom Liberty's Lucretia My Reflection mission, players will come across a seemingly ordinary wall-mounted phone. The magic happens whenever players return to this unassuming phone later in their adventures and find a note with the phone number 5745552377. Those who dial this number will start to hear the unmistakable main theme from The Witcher 3. This surprise adds to the Easter eggs already discovered in Cyberpunk 2077.

But it doesn't end there, as the haunting melody fills the airwaves, Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand responds with a cheerful smile and a thumbs-up, breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging the player's discovery. There are many things that Phantom Liberty does better than its main game, and while this is just an Easter egg, it's also a way for Cyberpunk 2077 to mend its relationship with the fans.

Despite players still encountering bugs in the game, in a recent side-by-side comparison of Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update versus the game's launch in 2020, it can be seen how much the title has improved. This is a small demonstration of the studio's commitment to trying to redeem itself for its disastrous launch.

It's true that Easter eggs are a great way to add an extra flavor to games and are usually well-received by the most dedicated fans. While Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty continues to surprise users and invite them to explore Night City, players can rest assured that the studio is working to continually enhance the gaming experience.

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