10 Video Game Characters You'll Never See Again

E3 2019 was a magical time. Hype for the upcoming game from then beloved CD Projekt Red was reaching a breaking point after over half a decade of build. Cyberpunk 2077 was so close and we could all taste it, but then the world had their minds blown by the appearance of the legend himself, Keanu Reeves.

Thanks to his role in the Matrix and his resurgence with John Wick, anything this man touched was going to get some sort of attention. Now combine that with the Cyberpunk 2077 hype and everyone was ready to meet Johnny Silverhand. Keanu’s character was actually breathtaking at times - for those who could get the game to run anyway.

But at the end of it all, his character's journey is all but finished at the end of Cyberpunk. Without going into extreme spoiler territory, Johnny Silverhand can come out of this one quite alright, but the question of if CDPR will ever continue it, is another story. Keanu isn’t exactly a cheap talent to book and they’ll probably spend the next 5 years fixing 2077 anyway.
