Overview

• Reeves told IGN on September 8 that he would "absolutely" reprise Johnny Silverhand, signaling clear interest but not a casting confirmation.
• CD Projekt Red has moved Cyberpunk 2 into pre-production with 116 developers as of July 31, 2025, while most of the studio remains focused on The Witcher 4.
• Reporters note that Cyberpunk 2077’s multiple endings complicate a canonical path for Johnny’s return, making any reappearance uncertain.
• Commentary suggests any involvement could be a flashback, braindance cameo, or another digital construct rather than a full lead role.
• Early creative signals point to a "uniquely American" story in a setting described as "like Chicago gone wrong," with leads based in Boston, and separate unannounced 2077 DLC remains speculative based on resume listings.
