Keanu Reeves Joins Cyberpunk 2077

This year’s E3 sure is amazing. Other than revolutionary games being unveiled by notable gaming developers, some actors/actresses turn out to be one of its models. “Cyberpunk 2077”, last year hailed to be the most anticipated game of the year, shook E3 2019 once more with its trailer.

The fans sure rejoiced with the trailer because since the last time they released a trailer, CD Projekt did not release any development of the game or any clue. The clue was so scarce that the anticipating fans once thought that the game was dead, even when it has not been born yet.

Nonetheless, the trailer seems to sweep the doubt away. The plot of “Cyberpunk 2077” remains the same, a dystopian, futuristic world where body modification and crime are a as common as the polluted air. However, the main attraction of the trailer, in fact, lies at the end of the trailer.

The whole fans shouted in joy when they saw who helps “V”, the cyberpunk/main protagonist of the game, get up. It was none other than the famous assassin who just recently beat Avengers: Endgame, Keanu Reeves! In the trailer, Keanu Reeves played the role as "Mr. Fusion".

After the trailer ended, a box at the left side of the stage opened to reveal Keanu Reeves inside. The whole crowd went crazy!

Keanu Reeves’ appearance at the conference was not only as sweetener for the reveal, but also to bring something else. Even better, he revealed the release date of the game!

While Keanu Reeves’ appearance sparked a great fire among the fans, this was not the first involvement of great actors in video game. Hideo Kojima, in fact, did it before “Cyberpunk 2077”, by inviting Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen – among the other top models – to “Death Stranding”. The game will be released globally this year on 8 November.

For fans out there, who has been anticipating “Cyberpunk 2077”, wait no longer, since the game will be released globally next year on 16 April. Save the date!
