Imagine it's 1984 chooms, and Ian McCulloch writes lyrics for "The Killing Moon" song, and the iconic line "fate up against your will, he will wait until you give yourself to him". Forty years later, that song by rock band Echo & the Bunnymen inspired us to become a title of a quest in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. And if you analyze the chords, it's Bowie's "Space Oddity", in reverse. The story of a man who goes up and does not return and Songbird's whole plan is to leave Earth for a clinic on the Moon. And that iconic line, it almost captures the entire quest. Fate against will. V chooses to help Songbird, but the cure was always just for one person. The train, the spaceport, the helicopter, the BlackWall: all of it is the long walk between the moment V believes they have agency and the moment they discover they were keeping a promise the universe had already broken. Braided intense action and cinematic spectacle, taking the player on the emotional journey to understand, fate against the will. The BlackWall sequence is where the metaphor stops being just a metaphor. Songbird, dying, opens the wall that has held back the rogue AIs of the old net for decades. She and V pull a piece of that abyss into the world. This composition was important for us: a mortal carrying a goddess who is briefly channeling something older than either of them, and the world dissolves. V holds Songbird and unleashes the very thing that is killing her, in violent, spasmic sequence. They are, in that instant, almost like the song. The Killing Moon.
