Keanu Reeves is Cyberpunk 2077 canon, it seems.
That is Keanu Reeves the entertainer just as Johnny Silverhand, the character genuine Keanu Reeves plays in the forthcoming CD Projekt game. This all stems from the ongoing arrival of the music video for “No Save Point” by Yankee and the Brave, the anecdotal Cyberpunk bunch played by genuine American hip bounce supergroup Run The Jewels.
No Save Point is a melody that will be heard in Cyberpunk 2077. It’s all very Cyberpunk, as you’d expect, and pretty average separated from one verse that has unquestionably gotten people talking inside the game’s legend network: “Keanu Reeves, digital arm under my sleeve,” raps Killer Mike.
It’s simply a music video for a melody that is in the game, however, this is Cyberpunk thus a legend is a genuine business. For what reason would you hear a verse about Keanu Reeves in the realm of Cyberpunk? That is the issue that started a clarification from Patrick K. Plants, Cyberpunk 2077 senior journey fashioner, who took to Twitter to affirm the Keanu Reeves verse is “legend cordial”.
In what manner or capacity? Indeed, as indicated by Mills, the verse is an in-universe social reference to Keanu Reeves, “a generally secret Collapse-time entertainer who looked to some extent like Johnny Silverhand”. In the Cyberpunk universe, Keanu Reeves was much of the time confused with Johnny Silverhand in the years following Johnny’s vanishing.
It sounds somewhat constrained, however, we should go for it: the Collapse is a timeframe inside the Cyberpunk legend that incorporates the fall of Western civilization. The timetable of Cyberpunk separates from this present reality around the ’90s, and the Collapse happens not long after that dissimilarity. Keanu Reeves (the genuine Keanu Reeves!) was conceived in 1964, so he would have been thumping about the Cyberpunk course of events pre-Collapse. What a disgrace the Cyberpunk Reeves’ life didn’t exactly happen as stunningly as the genuine Reeves’ life did.
It’s every one of the touches of fun, truly – even from a pessimistic standpoint marginally bumping, best-case scenario, a cool gesture to the presence of VIPs in the virtual world. I’ve seen a few people pay attention to this very, getting all worked up about courses of events and whether Keanu Reeves ought to or ought not to be standard inside the universe of Cyberpunk 2077. Well, he is! As you’re driving about the world, swapping organs out for tech, and hacking your way to stardom, you might hear a song on the radio about Keanu Reeves.
Who was that again? Oh yeah, some old actor, apparently still knocking about, who looks a lot like Johnny Silverhand.
