On Wednesday, Cyberpunk 2077 unveiled a new trailer. The recent trailer featured superstar Keanu Reeves, who will be a part of the game. The trailer was on show as a commercial during the 2020 NBA Finals Game 1 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat. While most users seemed extremely excited over the release next month, some commented on the workers being overworked in order to complete the game.

The new trailer features Keanu Reeves and not the character he will reportedly be playing in the game. "In 2077, what makes someone a criminal?" Reeves asks in the beginning before replying with "getting caught". While Reeves narrates, Billie Eilish's hit Bad Guy plays in the background. While some people loved the choices, many were confused as to how Bad Guy fits the theme of the game. The trailer ends with Reeves climbing into the car while staring at the camera.

The trailer also focused on Reeves' commentary and the mood of the game, not divulging too many details about the gameplay except for a few shots. Per reports, the 56-year-old Canadian star loved working on the game, and will be playing a character named "Johnny Silverhand". The game, after multiple delays, will finally be revealed on November 19.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. While players can also use PS5 and the Xbox Series X to play, upgraded consoles will be released later on. However, fans have been concerned over CD Projekt Red employees working six days a week to complete the game.

Per some anonymous employees, the company has been working them overtime for at least a year, something which the company denied in a statement. "This is one of the hardest decisions I've had to make, but everyone is well compensated for every extra hour they put in," studio head Adam Badowski wrote, adding that 10% of the profit will also be divided directly amongst the team.
