With the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC, Phantom Liberty, the next Hollywood superstar enters the stage of Night City. With Idris Elba on board, we have much to look forward to. But who is Solomon Reed, Elba's character in the game?
For the most part, Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand was always the breathtaking face of Cyberpunk 2077. However, thanks to the Anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and its new DLC, Phantom Liberty, there are more talented actors in the game, making the cast truly outstanding.
Giancarlo Esposito voiced the main antagonist Faraday in Edgerunners – why am I not surprised he's yet again the bad guy? But, there is another actor entering the stage of Night City: Idris Elba.
With Phantom Liberty, Idris Elba (The Wire, Pacific Rim, The Suicide Squad and more) will breathe life into Solomon Reed, the experienced NUSA Federal Intelligence Agency agent on active duty.
Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty: Idris Elba Drops Three Rap Tracks
Most of you know Idirs Elba is a talented actor, but did you know he's also a DJ, producer and even a rapper? He produced three tracks in total for Cyberpunk 2077, and you're able to listen to them during your time in Night City.
If you're eager to listen to the three in-game songs, you can also discover them on Spotify:
On station "Darkstar Radio" you can hear the two songs "Choke Hold" and "Rolla Coaster" and on the "Impulse Radio" you get to listen to the song "Walk Of Shame".
Here are all the other information about Solomon Reed!
Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty: FIA Agent Solomon Reed
Solomon Reed is an FIA Agent who went on countless intelligence missions with focus on uncovering spies and netrunners, extracting information and breaking into the most secure locations. His expertise in this field is exceptional, marked by unwavering loyalty, a strong sense of justice, and a deep commitment to his duty.
Following the Unification War, Reed secretly entered Dogtown, the main setting of Phantom Liberty. In this perilous and secluded area, he operates undercover as a Sleeper Agent, collaborating closely with Alex, a former braindance talent, and ultimately, with you as V.
Since Dogtown is ruled by a trigger-happy militia and no police would ever dare step into it, it's up to you and Solomon to save the NUSA President, Rosalind Myers. She had encountered a spacecraft malfunction and crash-landed in the heart of Dogtown. But in the end, there is always more to it than meets the eye...
Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty: Solomon Reed Spotted Before The Events in Dogtown
If you enter the Corpo Plaza club in Night City, an intriguing looking character might catch your eye. He's wearing a shady hat and shades in a club, and you guessed it right, that's Solomon Reed himself.
But meeting him here before the events in Dogtown won't grant you any other conversation options. But it's still a nice little Easter Egg nonetheless.
Based on the conclusion in Phantom Liberty, you can unlock a new ending in the base game, how exciting!
