Players of Phantom Liberty believe they\u2019ve found a tribute to a 3D printing enthusiast who went by Renfei. Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty is the culmination of CD Projekt RED\u2019s efforts to redeem the futuristic RPG after a disastrous launch. The combination of the DLC and the 2.0 update looks to have done the trick with fans praising what feels like a brand new game. Despite some minor controversies thanks to some sneaky anti-Russian sentiment added into the Ukranian localization of the game, that positive sentiment appears to be the norm. Even Asmongold has his own take on why Cyberpunk 2077 eclipses Starfield. Gameplay and progression features aren\u2019t the only new inclusions in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty though. Players on r\/cyberpunkgame think they\u2019ve found a touching tribute to a deceased Chinese player who didn\u2019t make it to the launch of the DLC. The post details the story of a Cyberpunk 2077 fan known as Renfei who ran his own online shop that primarily sold 3D printed parts for Gundam models (Gunpla). Renfei passed away due to a genetic disorder on May 21 2022 and was a popular figure in Cyberpunk 2077 fan communities. Players believe a Phantom Liberty NPC named \u5343\u5bfa\u72d0 (Qian Si Hu in English) is a tribute to Renfei as the character appears to be of Chinese ethnicity and is seen tinkering away with robots. This has been taken as a reference to his hobbies and business which also sold 3D prints of Cyberpunk 2077 items. This saga has been a focus of the Cyberpunk 2077 community for a while with a previous post from u\/HannibalFu detailing how Renfei\u2019s 55-year-old mother continued his work. Numerous social media posts from Renfei\u2019s mother detail how she learned 3D printing as a way of being closer to her son after his passing. \u201cThe more of my son\u2019s world I learn, the more things in common we\u2019ll have in the future reunion,\u201d she explained in a translated post on Chinese social media site Zhihu. Interestingly, one of Renfei\u2019s more popular Cyberpunk 2077 designs was a model of the Relic Chip which contains a digital imprint of a deceased person\u2019s soul. The original post that told the story of Renfei\u2019s mother has been included in an Imigur gallery along with other posts that are being attributed to her. The posts suggest that the NPC Qian Si Hu is indeed a tribute to Renfei and his mother is aware of it. Nobody has been able to verify that these posts were indeed made by Renfei\u2019s mother as of yet.
