That’s right. Keanu Reeves not only made the presentation on Sunday, which was awesome, he is going to be “one of the key characters of Cyberpunk 2077,” according to an official press release.

During his presentation, Reeves appeared to be having an absolute blast talking about the game and playing franchise character, “legendary rockerboy” Johnny Silverhand, and the internet was very, very there for it.
