After the clip, Keanu Reeves himself came out to greet the captive crowd at the Xbox E3 Briefing.

Cyberpunk 2077 follows the story of V, who inhabits a dystopic future where the government has collapsed and corporations have taken over. As revealed in the new gameplay footage, V frequently makes deals with seedy underworld connections and completes missions in an effort to earn upgrades and keep himself alive.

Keanu's exact role in Cyberpunk is expected to be revealed soon, while the game itself is set to release in April. Shacknews will continue to monitor what's suddenly become one of the biggest stories of E3 2019 so far.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
