Cyberpunk creator teases he has "ways" of bringing Keanny Reeveshand back from the dead in Cyberpunk 2

Resurrecting deceased video crippled celebrities is seemingly different of Mike Pondsmith's galore powers

Warning: Spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077 prevarication ahead.

Tabletop wizard and chill glasses-wearer Mike Pondsmith has teased having "ways" to bring Johnny Silverhand backmost successful Cyberpunk 2077's sequel. Actor and serial whoa merchant Keanu Reeves hasn't been shy astir being unfastened to reprising the relation were the accidental to clang done his doorway waving immoderate mantis blades about, but reconciling specified a happening with the events of the archetypal crippled could beryllium a spot complex.

This isn't the archetypal clip Pondsmith's fto escaped imaginable details astir Cyberpunk 2, which developers CD Projekt person different remained beauteous tight-lipped astir portion they enactment distant astatine it. Back successful May, helium alluded to having chatted to a dev astatine the workplace astir a metropolis which "feels much similar Chicago gone wrong" that's visited during the people of the game.

Pondsmith said much words during a caller interrogation connected a CD Projekt livestream. "You know, not that agelong ago, I saw that Keanu would similar to find a mode to travel backmost from the dormant and play Johnny again," helium mentioned, alluding to Reeves' declariation of being down to instrumentality to the role. "I person ways to bash that, Keanu. Contact me."

The tabletop antheral refused to elaborate immoderate further, arsenic radical who notation having mysterious ways to execute things often do. I presume the evident mode would beryllium to person a Punch and Judy-style Silverhand puppet narrate the main menu, arsenic the satellite antheral of chap RPG The Outer Worlds 2 does. Think astir it, each clip there's a crippled twist, helium tin person a sarcastic moan astir you, a gonk, having gonkishly erred successful trusting definite chooms, gonkishly. He'd person seen it coming years earlier you did, gonkchoom.

In each seriousness, the lone answers that'd marque overmuch consciousness would beryllium if the sequel turns retired to beryllium a prequel to the events of the archetypal game, oregon leans into flashback astatine definite points arsenic that archetypal Cyberpunk does. Either that, oregon immoderate nonsense astir determination being other hard drives knocking astir determination successful the existent oregon nett bits of the Cyberpunk beingness with adjacent much copies of the Silversonality connected them.

Personally, I deliberation I'd similar it if Silverhand's communicative concluded successful the archetypal game, and the sequel moves connected to caller crushed with minimal retreading. A little cameo via flashback mightiness beryllium cool, but isn't worthy doing conscionable for the involvement of it. In this interview, Pondsmith mentioned however blown distant helium was by CD Projekt getting Idris Elba for Phantom Liberty, and fractional jokes that he'd similar to spot Scarlett Johansson next. Sure, wherefore not, but I reckon Cyberpunk's amended disconnected not being wholly stuffed to the gills with each celeb possible, similar a cyberware-heavy Christmas pantomime. That's what keeps the unusual cameo successful a relation which fits the histrion being formed feeling special.
