No. It has intermediate credits and you unlock a new ending but everything leads to the same ending point as the vanilla game.

[egg fu]

was it the new ending to the base game?

There is something wierd with what you say. I don't know all the endings (I support Reed) but and this is A SPOILER, when you reach the end of the DLC they will show you the credits of the expansion, are red with a spy theme. After that you can continue playing, a few days later they will call you to tell you that the surgery is ready and V asks to pick him up on the roof of Misty's, at that moment Johnny will tell you not to do it, you can agree with Johnny and get off the roof (the quest will remain pending) and later after seeing Hanako on the same roof you can tell Johnny that you can still ask for help from Reed or whoever you supported. In any case, the game saves a point of no return and it should work as with the other endings showing the general credits of the game in which the important characters appear. Then at the end of everything gives you the option to return to the point of no return and gives you some rewards.

The game telegraphs the points of no return for PL and the main game, and I personally think the decisions are well communicated.

If you're really unhappy, it's your game--just look up one of the many articles that tells you how to get certain endings. Some even have spoilers concealed if you don't want to know everything.

This is one of the 4 new endings added by the expansion.

This.

See PL as a new district to explore with a new big story, but in the end you return to base game plot and do the final mission arc just like before. And then your chosen fate awaits you.

Game makes a hard save before this, even warns you of a point of no return - so if you want to keep playing, don't progress or use this save.

The game clearly, and telegraphically tells you when you hit the "point of no return", just like the main game, and will give you a save at that moment. You should *know* passing that point, you will hit one of the game's complete endings. If you skipped that warning and ignored that save, that's your fault.

PL is an expansion on top of the main game, it has 4 new endings, which tie into the existing base game's. PL did not change the fact 2077 has a complete end for V.

I chose to help songbird because I expected her to betray me at the end so my plan was to kill her (if the game let me) or chose the cure for myself. All I want to do is keep all my progress and items so I can continue playing. It's not much to ask and I find these endings really bad decisions. I won't be wasting my time on anymore Cyberpunk or with CDPR in the future.

Reed was suspicious too and I didn't trust him either. I went ahead with the surgery to remove Johnny from my game. I hate him. I wanted him gone so I could enjoy playing the game. I hate crawling around the floor with the relic glitching. It's just annoying. I even looked for a mod to remove Johnny or change his voice.

It's a terrible idea to end a game this way. It's not a VN or point & click game.

You're blaming the game for something that doesn't make sense. They warn you with a huge sign that it is a point of no return. How can it occur to you that you can continue playing without Johnny? They have to make the game again for that to be possible. I'm not going to be the fanboy who defends everything about the game because it has problems but this is not one of them.

Now you are getting a bit unfair. This game always had a finite ending. You choose your fate via choices in your gameplay and then it's over. Period.

Game tells you when you are at the point of no return. So if you don't want to see the end screen, don't start the final mission arc.

Just press the continue button, which places you right at this point and keep playing, nothing prevents you from doing that.

[Silverbane7]

The ending you chose (the Tower) is the only ending (as far as I know) that has no 'just one more gig' option.
Probably because the game saves additional things to your save
(Guns, Smashers key card ect)

[// HTRNGL]

so you want to continue playing AFTER the ending, which is impossible not only game-wise, but also plot-wise? you expect the same/more content after all of your combat implants have been clearly disabled ? this game always returned you to no-return point if you wanted to continue playing after the ending, why would this one be any different? lol

wrong

[Zoid13]

all the games base endings (that you select from on the rooftop with johnny) let you keep playing after the credits (if you select the popup option to keep going)

phantom liberty endings have their own credit scroll for completing the DLC's story. this is separate from the the base games endings and can happen long before you finish the base games quest-lines.
after these mid-game dlc endings you get put back in the world to continue playing and finish the rest of the base game and its endings.

there is 1 caveat.

the DLC has (4) endings. 2 paths with their own 2 alternate branches.
3 of those are endings for the DLC (midgame) and can continue after.
1 of those 4 paths leads to a "secret" GAME ending that eventually leads you the rooftop with johnny and gives you an additional option to go down the new dlc game ending (this will be the only option if you haven't finished the other base games ending conditions)

this secret ending doesn't let you keep playing because in context with the ending it would make no sense to let V continue.

I have the same problem as OP, the problem with playing from there is that it just puts you in an infinite loop of completing the ending, and getting sent back to there, you can’t go back to before the PONR, it just puts you back there
