Johnny wasnt just a musician, though.
He had previously been in the military, serving in several conflicts before deserting.
Its unclear, as we press ahead intoCyberpunk 2077, if this expansion is considered canon.
Wake the fuck up, Samurai, Johnny says to the player.
We have a city to burn.
The trailer ends at that point, and as you might expect, the crowd at E3 went wild.
He said that walking through the games futuristic city is going to breathtaking.
Lets look at some possibilities…
What Does It Mean?
Did Johnny live on as a hologram, perhaps?
Is that maybe something that people can do in this version of the future?
Might he be guiding the player in a helpful but intangible way?
Could it be possible that this Johnny hologram is actually a form of futuristic merch that the player-character owns?
Or could the player-character perhaps be hallucinating his childhood hero?
All will be revealed whenCyberpunk 2077launches on April 16, 2020.
