Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2<\/a> has cast Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima in a role that will see him reprise his part from Cyberpunk 2077<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Series game developer CD Projekt Red confirmed the news in a social media post on X\/Twitter<\/a>. The message teased that it’s more than a throwaway part, too, as Kojima will be seen playing “the famous braindance director who was at Konpeki Plaza in Cyberpunk 2077” (via X’s machine translation).<\/p>\n

The real-life game director was quick to respond and share his excitement, as well as a few pictures from his time recording his lines. His full statement, minus a few fun emojis, is as follows: “I make a cameo appearance in the anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 as Hideyoshi Oshima, the character who appeared in the previous game.”<\/p>\n

Cyberpunk 2077 players were treated to an unexpected visit<\/a> from the Kojima Productions lead when they first traveled to Night City back in 2020. It’s a moment that wasn’t actually directly tied to V’s mainline quest and surprisingly easy to miss,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
