Cyberpunk 2077 gained a lot of mainstream exposure when CD Projekt Red revealed that Keanu "I know Kung-Fu" Reeves would be in the game as Johnny Silverhand, a character Cyberpunk 2020 fans are more than familiar with. Reeves is a natural pick for the character since the actor has had a history of playing as rebels, whether they be intense sci-fi films like The Matrix or action-packed movies like John Wick.

Apparently, Reeves is working wonders for the character, since an interview Xbox: The Official Magazine (via Wccftech) did with CD Projekt Red's Story Director, Marcin Blacha, feels that Reeves is making the character more relatable and complex. This is due to the actor's natural charisma and performance, with Blacha comparing it to Charles Dance's performance in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as Emperor Emhyr.

We can't wait to see more of Reeves' Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out on April 16, 2020. The game is expected to come out on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Thanks to the next PlayStation and Xbox having backward-compatibility, fans will be able to enjoy this game on newer systems when they come out.
