Cyberpunk 2077 Pays Homage to Hideo Kojima

Today Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red had something special to share with the fans via social media.

The reveal showcases art portraying Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding Creator Hideo Kojima in Cyberpunk 2077 garb and riding the game’s iconic bike.

Kojima-san himself followed up by posting a larger version of the image. 

At the moment CD Projekt RED has not confirmed whether this is simply a homage to the popular developer or he actually has a cameo in the game.

We reached out to the studio to ask for clarification, and we’ll let you know if we hear anything back.

Incidentally, the real-world picture was shot at the game’s booth at Tokyo Game Show 2019.
