's Night City is full of references to other media, with its own version of the Batmobile found within a cave, to one of the fastest bikes in the game, the Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X, which is also known as the motorbike from. Some details, however, open up a multiversal can of worms, mainly surrounding the works of actor Keanu Reeves, who also portrays Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand in the game.
Silverhand is one of the main characters in the game, despite having died 54 years prior to V's story. The deceased rockstar rebel's engram is on the prototype version of the Relic embedded in V's head, which is gradually killing them. Through flashbacks and conversations with Silverhand, players learn more about his backstory, goals, enemies, and alliances, many of whom return to assist V or cause trouble in 's narrative. Silverhand will also appear to comment on actions throughout the game, and even assume control of V's body at certain points.
When entering a cooling installation on Scoffield Street in The Glen, Heywood, players will find the body of a suited man, and will be able to pick up a skill shard for Blades, and what is presumably the final conversation this man had. As pointed out by Redditor copolii, upon reading the shard, it's clear that this moment was pulled from the classic 1999 sci-fi action movie,, only with a slight change of the characters' names. Instead of Thomas Anderson (aka. Neo) and Morpheus, 's versions are called John Anderson and ORPH3U5.
The moment in question is when Morpheus tries to navigate Neo through his office building to escape the Agents who are hunting him. It leads to a moment in which he is told to climb out of a window and onto a narrow ledge to scale the outside of the skyscraper to reach the roof and get to freedom. A gust of wind blows and Neo's fear takes over, with him telling Morpheus he can't do it and ultimately getting captured. 's version clearly plays out a bit differently, with John Anderson climbing onto the ledge and falling to his death.
expansion added an entirely new area of Night City, Dogtown back in September 2023, and with it came many more references and hidden details. One of which was a weapons case with a sign reading "", alluding to Keanu Reeves' famous assassin character, John Wick. Players can find the Easter egg from the moment they first reach Dogtown if they head to Sofia's weapons shop in the EBM Petrochem Stadium.
Much like the reference, if players wait until Johnny Silverhand is back in the passenger seat rather than Songbird — who is guiding V into the area at the start of — before visiting the weapons shop, he appears and reacts to the reference with a brief expletive. Unlike the deceased Mr. Anderson, however, it's not clear

Sometimes, going down a lore rabbit hole can only make things more confusing. That's the case for one late-game encounter that V may or may not experience, depending on their decision in a much earlier mission. Random attacks by heavily-armed gonks aren't unheard of in ; the mystery usually relates to where they came from. They'll usually have some sort of Datashard on them, which may reveal who they are and who they're working for, or at least confirm whether they were hired to take out V specifically.
A long-standing mystery finally has a satisfactory solution — but it wasn't answered by. 's massive, game-changing DLC resolved many secrets, answering a number of lingering questions about people, places, and things otherwise unexplained. But it couldn't turn over every stone. The setting still retains a lot of mystique. Whether someone at CD Projekt Red is saving these secrets for the sequel to , or no one's come up with a good answer yet, varies from case to case.
The inclusion of one confusing mechanic could enhance its sequel,. While there have been several updates to, and there's still the possibility for some smaller additions in the future, it has been confirmed that CD Projekt Red has largely shifted work toward the sequel, so rather continue to amend what came before, players can look forward to seeing what features can be improved or built upon going forward.
A hidden detail makes one of the game's more disturbing braindances even more eerie. Throughout CD Projekt Red's sci-fi RPG, players are able to relive moments from other Night City residents' perspectives through a virtual reality-type recording called braindances, which lets V feel their emotional states and anything they physically felt, as well as watching events unfold. In the universe, this is used as a major form of entertainment covering adult content, adrenaline chasers, and more, but V often uses them as ways to help with investigations, rewinding the footage and inspecting it on different levels to find clues.
Almost 200 new gigs have been added to , with the intent of helping players find some of the game's biggest secrets. While playing CD Projekt Red's sci-fi RPG, there are several easy-to-find side activities, such as gigs, which are marked on the map or activated via calls on the Holocom for players to get involved in. Despite this, the world of Night City is so rich and layered that there are bound to be elements that players don't discover upon their initial playthrough, regardless of how many hundreds of hours players may find themselves sinking into the game.
A hidden detail explains why one especially snobby character might have been excluded from . villagers are a major factor in the game, and the character that arrives in a player's tent can make or break the vision someone might have for their island Fans have gotten really creative when it comes to dealing with hated villagers, some even making an entire island full of ugly characters. The treatment of a villager can turn their mood sour, but sometimes, characters come to the island with bad attitudes.
A mod lets players fully immerse themselves in the streets of Night City. CD Project Red's sci-fi RPG already had a first-person narrative for its majority, with players only able to swap to third person for driving, to make players feel like they were exploring its rich world, but a Virtual Reality mod has taken advantage of this to take things a step further.
Johnny Silverhand is one of the most popular characters in so players wishing they could hang out more with Keanu Reeves' rockstar are in luck because a new mod makes him far more social. In the vanilla version of CD Projekt Red's RPG, the projection of Johnny's consciousness, which is embedded in protagonist V's head, appears throughout the story to both offer advice to players and just offer his thoughts on the current state of Night City. Unfortunately, those wanting to relax with Silverhand can only do so in V's original apartment, even if they own other properties.
