Fans have been waiting a long time to play CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. The game was originally announced seven years ago with a cinematic teaser trailer, and while it was meant to launch earlier in 2020, it has been delayed numerous times. The long wait for Cyberpunk 2077 is finally coming to an end on Thursday, December 10, but unfortunately, not everyone that wanted to will actually get to play the game.
A Twitter post is gaining traction that shows a heartbreaking comment on the Cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer from back in 2013. The comment is from user MithaToca, who claims that their friend was looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077, and only became more excited after they found out Keanu Reeves was in the game. Unfortunately, MithaToca’s friend tragically passed away from COVID-19 before the game was out. “I will play it for you buddy. RIP.”
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the top trends on Twitter right now, as fans are expressing their excitement for the game’s launch later this week. This tweet, posted by user patrickak639, is one of the first posts users see when clicking on the trend, with nearly 3,000 likes, over 200 re-tweets, and over 200 comments at the time of this writing.
Sadly, MithaToca’s friend isn’t the first Cyberpunk 2077 fan who passed away before they could play the game. Recently, the Cyberpunk 2077 community rallied behind a grieving father who shared that his son Johnny passed away before getting the chance to play the game. Fans have called for CD Projekt Red to create an in-game tribute to Johnny in the game, though it’s unclear if that will come to pass.
While Johnny may or may not be immortalized in an official Cyberpunk 2077 tribute from CD Projekt Red, he will be featured in the Cyberpunk RED tabletop RPG. According to a developer of the board game, Johnny will be featured as part of the Aldecaldo Family in the tabletop RPG. Members of the Cyberpunk 2077 community will be honoring Johnny by Street Kid playthroughs, as that is how Johnny intended on playing the game himself.
Over the years, there have been many in-game tributes to deceased fans in video games. Sometimes this comes in the form of an item named after the fallen player, or a digital memorial easter egg that players can find in the games, whereas other times these in-game tributes see the person featured as an NPC. OOther times still, game publishers have reached out to terminally ill fans and let them play games ahead of their launch date.
Cyberpunk 2077 launches December 10 for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions also in development.
