Keanu Reeves is back in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion on September 26

Keanu Reeves is coming back as Johnny Silverhand in the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion.

Microsoft made the announcement during the Xbox Showcase today. The expansion arrives on September 26 from CD Projekt Red, maker of Cyberpunk 2077, which debuted with a lot of bugs in 2020. The game eventually got a lot of fixes.

This one looks as cinematic as the last game, which I played for a solid 50 hours or so. I’m all for more Keanu Reeves.
