Phantom Liberty was built backwards from the choice you argue about

• Cyberpunk 2 director Pawel Sasko says they worked backwards from the Songbird or Reed decision
• Scenes were rewritten many times, and both had to have 'contradictions, weaknesses, secrets'
• Sasko: 'We never wanted the game to tell you what the correct decision was'

Reported by Pawel Sasko, Cyberpunk 2 associate game director and Phantom Liberty lead quest designer, on social media, reported by GamesRadar on 27 September 2026, the expansion's third anniversary. We are repeating their reporting rather than claiming it.
