CD Projekt RED recently answered several questions from fans about Cyberpunk 2, and a decision by the studio could leave a void for many fans of the first work.
More specifically, it was the very talented composer of many of Cyberpunk 2077's now iconic music, PT Adamczyk, who took part in an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit. Of course, the questions asked of the fan mostly relate to the musical part of the license. And it seems that one particular group may unfortunately be conspicuous by their absence in Cyberpunk 2.
Never Fade Away, but still a little into Cyberpunk 2?
In Cyberpunk 2077, the legendary rocker Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves), a character from the Samurai group, taken directly from Pike Pondsmith's role-playing game, takes a very central place. It is indeed the personality that inhabits V's mind, and their fates are closely linked, as CD Projekt RED has skillfully crafted a story that mixes past and present. In principle, Cyberpunk 2 will tell us a completely different story, and Johnny Silverhand logically shouldn't be there, given the ending of the first game.
After treating our ears to great tunes like The Rebel Path, Phantom Liberty and Never Fade Away in Cyberpunk 2077, PT Adamczyk will reprise his role as composer for some of Cyberpunk 2's music. In a recent AMA session on Reddit, this answered a fan's question: ” Will we be entitled to another Samurai album in the sequel? “. To which the man replied: ” I don't know. At the moment we don't have any plans for new Samurai songs, but who knows. Maybe we will prepare some in the future, it's hard to say ».
As a reminder, the development of Cyberpunk 2 is still in a very embryonic stage at CD Projekt RED's Boston offices. All we know is that it would be an even prettier, more ambitious sequel, anchored in its American roots. However, we don't know whether the sequel will take place in Night City or elsewhere and what story the Polish studio is preparing for us. We'll certainly have to wait many more years to find out, as all of our attention is currently focused on The Witcher 4, which only recently went into production but isn't expected to be released for another few years.
