Cyberpunk 2077 Trailer
IfCyberpunk 2077wasn’t already one of the most anticipated video games out there since its reveal at last year’s E3, it certainly shot up to the top of most people’s radars after Keanu Reeves' immaculately rendered visage plastered Twitter’s timeline all of Sunday evening.
The internet’s favorite dog lover/lonely boystole XBox’s E3 press conference with an unexpected cameo for one of the most anticipated upcoming games — both in the game and onstage. After appearing for a split second at the end of the cinematic trailer forCyberpunk 2077, CD Project Red’s AAA adaptation of the fan-favorite tabletop RPG, Reeves took to the stage to call the game and the audience “breathtaking.” The cinematic trailer certainly lives up to that descriptor, with four minutes worth of violent shootouts, brutal brawls, and cyberpunk lingo out the wazoo. But most importantly, you get to hear Keanu shout at you to “wake the fuck up” because “we have a city to burn.” Yes, berate usmore, Keanu.
It’s unclear what Reeves' role is in the video game, with fans theorizing that he could be any seminal characters inCyberpunk’s lore, including the rocker heroJohnny Silverhand. But the most importantly question is: now that Keanu Reeves is a video game character, does that mean we could someday play as him inSuper Smash Bros.?
Cyberpunk 2077will hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC onApril 16, 2020.
