10 Things To Know Before Playing Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the Top 10 Cameos in “Cyberpunk 2077”! (twenty seventy seven) For this list, we’re looking at some of our favorite cameos featured in this CD Projekt game. Which cameo caught you off guard? Let us know in the comments below!

#10: Arekkz

The man with the biggest best beard in the streaming community is one of a handful of internet celebrities who have found their way into “Cyberpunk 2077”. Night City is plastered in billboards and ads, so this one may take a little bit of searching. Arekkz makes an appearance in one of these billboards that seems to advertise chrome cyberware regarding tremor flattening, poly-muscles, and biotoxin absorption. These all sound like problems we’d have with excessive gaming in the future, so maybe we really do need cyberware. Is there one that’ll get us a beautiful chin mane like his, though?

#9: Roach

It's no surprise that a few "Witcher" characters have found their way into "Cyberpunk 2077". While Ciri is busy appearing on the cover of gaming magazines, Roach has made a stronger presence. Not only does he show up as a sticker in the game's photo mode, but it looks like the stallion has made a career in video games! In some places, you may find arcade cabinets with the title "Roach Race". There's even a Netwatch Agent named Roach. You mean tell us that they have a HORSE working for a security agency?? What has this world come to!?

#8: Bryan Dechart

Bryan Dechart has certainly made a name for himself in the entertainment industry having been in shows like “True Blood” and “Jane By Design”. Gamers will recognize him as Connor from “Detroit: Become Human”, and they may recognize him in “Cyberpunk 2077”. In Japantown, you’ll find a malfunctioning vending machine named Brendan, voiced by Dechart. He doesn’t want to just sell you refreshing drinks - he wants a friend to help give him a good view of the streets so he can meet more people! Won’t you please give this robot a hand?

#7: Amelia Rose Blaire

Not only has Amelia Blaire graced our TVs in shows like “True Blood” and MTV’s “Scream”, but she’s also made a few appearances in video games, too. She plays as Amy Ferrero in the 2016 game “Quantum Break” and Traci in “Detroit: Become Human”. Along with her husband Bryan, Amelia lends her voice to a character in “Cyberpunk 2077”. Sometime after opening Brendan’s view, you may notice a woman named Theo talking to him about guy problems. The exchange between them is absolutely adorable! Talk to Brendan afterwards for an even sweeter bit of dialogue about Theo!

#6: Jesse Cox

As one would expect from a comedian, Jesse Cox has the honor of being in one of the funniest side missions in the entire game. At some point, you’ll find a man pantless and asking you to help him. Turns out a certain someone tried to get a certain part of the male anatomy cybernetically enhanced, and now, he needs to see a ripperdoc to get it fixed. Given how sexually active Night City is, it isn’t surprised that Jesse’s character is THAT guy. There’s always one person to take things to another level.

#5: Alanah Pearce

Former-IGN editor now Sony Santa Monica writer Alanah Pearce has held quite the online presence since her time at the publication, and her excitement for “Cyberpunk” has been no secret. Along with Jesse Cox and Arekkz, CD Projekt threw her into the game for a somewhat brief mission. During the mission “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’”, you’ll need to head to a scrapyard where you’ll find your vehicle from the prologue. Turns out Alanah, or “Lana”, had stolen your car. Welp, cancel Alanah - we have a confirmed criminal in the gaming community! Hashtag Alanah is over party.

#4: Grimes

As the community tries to figure out whether Elon Musk is in “Cyberpunk 2077”, we can appreciate his girlfriend’s performance. Yes, music pop artist Grimes is in the game, and she voices Lizzy Wizzy, a pop star who took her own life during a concert before being replaced with full-form cyberware and finishing her performance. Morbid and unsettling, Grimes’s character will be a bit of a bizarre trip as V will have to help her with her love troubles. Huh, even someone who is a total cyborg has complicated human emotions. Who would have guessed?

#3: Hideo Kojima

Those who have played some of the "Metal Gear" games know Hideo Kojima is not one to shy away from making a good cameo, and "Cyberpunk 2077" is yet another title to add to his list. Inside the bar at Arasaka headquarters during the “Heist” mission, you will find Kojima sitting in a booth and talking to some other Corpo folk. However, this is not Kojima - instead, you have come across legendary filmmaker "Hideyoshi Oshima", and he doesn't have time for your foolish babbling, peasant! He's a very busy man and could care less about your movie pitch, even if he asked!

#2: Ellen McLain

In case you didn’t know, Ellen McLain is one of the most prolific voice actors in the gaming industry, her most notable roles being the Administrator in “Team Fortress 2” and GLaDOS in the “Portal” games. McLain reprises the latter during the mission “Epistrophy” which sees the player trying to retrieve rogue Delamain taxi cabs. While the others sound somewhat normal, one of the rogue taxis sounds a bit too much like a malicious AI that belonged to a science corporation. No, the cab isn’t named GLaDOS, but the talks of testing and cake makes it very obvious.

#1: Mike Pondsmith

The creator of “Cyberpunk” (the tabletop RPG, not the genre) has often appeared in his own books under the guise of “Maximum Mike”. So, it would only make sense to put the series creator in the game adaptation! As you’re driving around Night City, try cycling through radio stations. You’ll find one where Mike voices a DJ and offers some insightful commentary on the latest rumors. Could he be talking as Maximum Mike? Or is he just a simple DJ who just so happens to have really good sources and intuition? We’d like to think the former.

Cohh Carnage - I think he's some sort of street preacher in the game wearing a garbage bag as clothes. If you know him or have seen him you'll know which NPC he is once you've found him.
