Video game Cyberpunk 2077’s trailer featured Keanu Reeves as its lead characters, leaving fans abuzz with excitement. The trailer was shown at the Microsoft Corp. Xbox event ahead of the E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
The John Wick star will be playing the role of Johnny Silverhand in the game. Reeves has lent the voice and motion capture for his CyberPunk 2077 role.
“A while back CD Project Red approached me and asked me to be a part of their new project CyberPunk 2077. They were going on and on about how they’d create this vast open world with a branching storyline… how you’d be able to customise your character through in-game choices and it’s not something I knew before but I was excited. I am always drawn to a fascinating story,” he said whilst on the stage.
The game is set in futuristic Night City. Users play an outlaw who is looking for a chip which has an elixir of life. Players can modulate their character’s cyberwar and fashion among other things.
CyberPunk 2077 is slated for a release on 16 April 2020. The game will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC platforms.
