Cyberpunk 2077s one-and-done expansion, Phantom Liberty, arrived on September 26, 2023, bringing with it a new story and a new location to explore. But fans have found another unique addition the expansion introduces: a subtle reference to another open-world game also set in a fictional take on California. <\/p>\n
Phantom Liberty Is Undoing One Key Thing That Cyberpunk Got Right <\/p>\n
Early on in Phantom Liberty, V must make a phone call to a certain character to get the plot moving. As some fans have pointed out, theres a cryptic set of numbers scratched into the phone: <\/p>\n
2 x 9 1 x 9 L 1 x 6 1 x 7 2 x 45 <\/p>\n
Cyberpunk sleuths have been quick to call out the similarity to a particularly epic fast food order in 2004s Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. <\/p>\n
Early on in San Andreas, CJ, Sweet, Ryder, and Big Smoke hit up a Cluckin Bell, one of GTAs fast food parodies. While everyone else orders one meal, Big Smoke takes the opportunity to get in his days-worth of calories with the following order: <\/p>\n
Ill have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda. <\/p>\n
Cyberpunk 2077 is no stranger to video game references and easter eggs. During the Delamain side quest, a certain homicidal AI sounds an awful lot like another digital lady prone to killing. Naturally, there are several references to The Witcher 3 which, like Cyberpunk, was also developed by CD Projekt Red. There are other San Andreas references in Cyberpunk too, such as another instance of Big Smokes order at a Capitan Caliente restaurant, and a recreation of Grove Street, a key San Andreas location, in the Santo Domingo district of Night City. <\/p>\n
The same phone in Phantom Liberty can also be used to dial up other cute game references, such as The Witcher 3s theme. <\/p>\n
Its nice to see subtle nods and references to gamings recent past. I just wish they didnt make me so damn hungry. <\/p>\n
