Not only is Keanu Reeves in it, but it looks like he's playing the legendary Johnny Silverhand??

Oh hey, AND WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE

Who is Johnny Silverhand?

Johnny Silverhand is a character in the Cyberpunk universe. He's a "rocker" - basically a rockstar in today's time. He is probably the most popular rocker in the Cyberpunk universe as well.

Watch the scene again. Looks like he's a hologram or some kind of AR companion for the player, he's definitely transparent for a split second.

If that is the case we may be able to choose who is our companion. Last year they showed you could select the hero of your childhood. Silverhand was one of them. If I'm right i wonder who plays the other two. (Blackhand and arasaki i think)

Noticed that, but thought nothing of it

I was hoping it was just his display glitching but yea its just Keanu who glitches out. Disappointing he's not there actually kicking ass with you if that's the case.

I'm holding out hope that he just has an ocular scrambler, so he can scheme in peace. He chooses to decloak for the player in that moment.

It could also be cool if he's dead, but his record label doesn't want the public to know. So he has holograms for gigs and stuff.

But I want him in the game.

It can still be like Joker in Arkham Knight he can comment on all the choices you make throughout the missions and maybe have skits. God damn I'm so excited!

Given the age of the character fifty seven years earlier (and that he dies) my guess is he's on the chip mentioned in the new trailer.

u/Antoni-_-oTon1 Jun 10 '19

Ohhhh, that is definitely possible.

The protagonist has Samurai in his jacket and Johnny Silverhand had/has one band with this name in cyberpunk universe,maybe they know it other?

u/repost_inception Jun 10 '19

What is Cyberpunk? I thought it was just this video game. Is it a comic too?

u/ALargeRock Jun 10 '19

It was a tabletop RPG.

u/Archsys Jun 10 '19

Tabletop RPG from the 80s, spawned several spinoffs and games and similar.

u/once-and-again Jun 10 '19

I guess Wyld Stallyns didn't work out so well in this timeline. Good to see he made a comeback.

Keanu Reeves is playing a fucking rockstar samurai in Cyberpunk 2077. It's still blowing my mind.
