Keanu Reeves Is Appearing In 'Cyberpunk 2077', And The Internet Is Losing Its Collective Mind

At the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) yesterday, the biggest gaming event of the year, viewers got another sneak peek at 'Cyberpunk 2077'. It was last year voted the 'Most Wanted Game' of 2018 at the Golden Joystick Awards.

But even better than more details about the highly-anticipated new game was the appearance of a famous cast member.

Yep, that's Keanu Reeves up there in the game. John Wick himself. Neo in the flesh. Johnny Mnemonic as created.

Keanu is playing a character we don't know anything about yet, except that it will look just like him, and apparently be as badass as some of his other on-screen aliases. Which is weird when you think about how chilled out he is in real life.

If you think you're excited about the news, you have no idea how pumped the attendees were, not to mention Keanu Reeves himself.

He made an appearance at E3 to talk about Cyberpunk's upcoming release date, and he seems to really relish the opportunity (and the chance to say the game's name out loud).

Cyberpunk 2077 is the latest title from CD Projekt Red, the creators of the stella 'Witcher' series of open-world RPGs. The game is expected to launch April 16, 2020, probably to the next-gen (and as yet unnamed) Xbox, codenamed Project Scarlett.

And if gamers weren't that excited about the game before, you can bet now that they're losing their collective minds thanks to Keanu Reeves.
