Arguably the best and most surprising moment of this year's E3 event was Keanu Reeves being revealed at the end of a new trailer for
Cyberpunk 2077. He then showed up on-stage and, in a moment that would instantly become iconic, declared
"You're all breathtaking!"
Based on a recent interview with
VGC, it sounds like CD Projekt Red might have a couple more breathtaking moments like that tucked up their sleeves. Alvin Liu, a spokesperson and UI co-ordinator for CDPR, explained that the Reeves wasn't pulled out of a hat at random but chosen because they believe that he's a natural fit for the breathtaking world of
Cyberpunk 2077.
“I will say that CDPR is a video game company first and it’s very important to us that the match works. If it was a random celebrity that just wouldn’t work with our franchise, like Britney Spears or something, we wouldn’t pursue that opportunity. So for us, we pursue it because it’s a great match for the game and not necessarily because we want to accomplish some goal with reaching a different audience or anything like that.”
Liu unfortunately shot down the breathtaking concept of Britney Spears featuring in the highly anticipated, upcoming, and frankly breathtaking game. However, the CDPR representative did suggest that
Cyberpunk 2077 might be borrowing more than just Keanu Reeves from Hollywood.
Asked whether any other breathtaking stars would feature, Liu said as follows:
“Uh… I can’t comment on that! You guys are going to have to wait and see."
Cyberpunk 2077 is set to release on April 16th, 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Breathtaking.
