CYBERPUNK 2077 gets release date and bonus Keanu Reeves

Over seven years after first announcing it, CD Projekt Red have finally provided a release date for Cyberpunk 2077, which is either the most eagerly-awaited video game of the next year or the most eagerly-awaited entertainment product of all time, depending on your hype level.

To commemorate the date, CD Projekt Red have released a new cinematic trailer. They have also confirmed that Keanu Reeves will be playing the iconic role of Johnny Silverhand, an ex-rock star who is now deeply immersed in the world of corporate espionage. Reeves voices the character and also had his likeness digitally scanned.

Set in Night City, California, in 2077, Cyberpunk 2077 tells the story of a hacker who gets in over their head. Unlike their previous Witcher games, Cyberpunk 2077 will allow players to create their own protagonist and customise them extensively to tackle a long, branching storyline which responds to their actions with numerous sub-quests.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on 16 April 2020 on PC, PlayStation 4 and X-Box One.
