Lizzy Wizzy's Chrome Heart Still Beats in Night City

Night City does not forget its stars. By 2026, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has long since stopped being a fresh headline—it has settled into the city like neon fog in an alley—but the 2023 expansion, launched on September 26, 2023, still casts a long shadow. It sent V into Dogtown to save NUSA President Rosalind Myers, introduced Idris Elba as FIA sleeper agent Solomon Reed, and kept Keanu Reeves’s Johnny Silverhand grumbling inside V’s skull. Yet among all that spycraft and chrome, one cameo still glitters with a stranger light: Grimes’s Lizzy Wizzy, the fully chromed pop artist who treats identity like a remix. Her return in Phantom Liberty remains a small, dazzling triumph.

In the dystopian universe, Lizzy Wizzy is an eccentric artist who pushes the boundary between human and machine through music, conceptual performance art, and sheer self-expression. Her voice actor is Grimes—Claire Elise Boucher in the real world—and the musician let the news of her return slip herself. That detail matters. Lizzy is not a corporate mascot or a quest-giver with a clipboard; she is a celebrity whose art and body have become one continuous statement. In a city that sells people their own reflections, she is the rare person who seems to have bought the mirror outright.

Players first met Lizzy in Violence, a side quest that begins with a request and ends somewhere much uglier. The chrome singer asks V to snoop on her partner. A foul secret surfaces. Depending on V’s choices, the job can slide toward something darker still—perhaps even getting rid of a body. It is classic Night City: glamour on the surface, a body bag in the basement. Call it a date night with a body bag, if you like. The quest works because Lizzy is not simply weird; she is wounded in a way that chrome cannot patch.

What exactly Lizzy Wizzy does in Phantom Liberty is still not spelled out. She may have connections with President Rosalind Myers, thanks to her status as one of Night City’s elite celebrities. Or she may drift through Dogtown like a chrome ghost, following an artistic impulse that only she understands. What she wants... well, that is another story. The expansion wears its spy-thriller coat tightly, but Lizzy is the kind of character who can slip a sequin into a war room and make it feel intentional.

Her return also means more music. Grimes has already lent her voice and sound to the game, and Lizzy’s presence opens the door for potentially exclusive tracks on in-game radio stations. For players cruising through Night City in 2026, that is a delicious prospect: the city’s neon blur, the radio dial, and that strange, chrome-plated voice cutting through the traffic. And hey, that is Night City for you—it can turn a pop song into a piece of worldbuilding and make it look effortless.

Thread	Why it matters in Night City
Lizzy’s chrome look	She is a walking argument about where the body ends and the machine begins.
Her art	Music, performance, and philosophy blend into one public persona.
Her Phantom Liberty role	Details remain vague, but her elite status could open doors—or start rumors.
Her radio presence	More Grimes music could make the city’s stations feel stranger and more alive.

There is a reason Lizzy Wizzy remains one of Cyberpunk 2077’s most interesting inhabitants. Night City is full of mercs, fixers, and corporate sharks, but Lizzy belongs to a rarer species: the celebrity who has become a concept. She is glamorous, unsettling, and somehow sincere. Her odd philosophies and larger-than-life performances make her more than a cameo; they make her a mood. Even years after Phantom Liberty launched, she still feels like one of the expansion’s most uniquely glamorous surprises.

Look, Night City never really lets a good rumor die. Lizzy Wizzy is proof. In a place built on borrowed dreams and rented bodies, she keeps returning as a reminder that some people refuse to be simplified—even when they are made almost entirely of chrome.
