An RPG game called Cyberpunk 2077 gained popularity because Keanu Reeves played Johnny Silverhand in it. It turns out that CD Projekt RED intends to keep incorporating well-known Hollywood figures into their games; this is not a one-time process. The requirement is that they have to make sense in the narrative.
During an interview, Magda Zych clarified that the decision to cast Keanu Reeves was not haphazard; rather, it sprang from the need to construct a believable and distinctive hero. She also said that Reeves contributed his own thoughts and worked on developing his persona.
Zych said that if working with Hollywood celebrities makes sense for the story and the game environment, CD Projekt RED has no plans to stop. But the idea is to add distinctive and engaging personalities to the game, not to use them as a marketing gimmick.
“Any talented actor who will help us tell our stories as we imagined them, and at the same time help us reach a new audience among their fans, is a great opportunity for us,” says senior screenwriter Magda Zych.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that takes us to the futuristic city of Night City, where we can play the role of a mercenary named V. The game offers us great freedom of action, influence on the development of the plot and many options for modifying our character. So we are waiting for the next part with new Hollywood stars.
