They acquire the Relic, but the plan goes awry when they witness the murder of the megacorp&#8217;s leader Saburo Arasaka (<a title=\"Masane Tsukayama\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Masane_Tsukayama\">Masane Tsukayama<\/a>) at the hands of his treacherous son Yorinobu (Hideo Kimura). Yorinobu covers up the murder as poisoning and triggers a security sweep in which Arasaka&#8217;s netrunners kill T-Bug. V and Jackie escape, but Jackie is fatally wounded in the process, and the Relic&#8217;s protective case is damaged, forcing V to insert the biochip into the cyberware in their head.<\/p>\n<p>Furious at the unwanted police attention, Dex shoots V in the head and leaves them for dead in a landfill. Upon awakening, V is haunted by the digital ghost of war veteran turned iconic rock star Johnny Silverhand (<a title=\"Keanu Reeves\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Keanu_Reeves\">Keanu Reeves<\/a>), believed to have died in 2023 during a thermonuclear attack on Arasaka Tower. V learns from their ripperdoc Viktor Vector (<a title=\"Michael Gregory (actor)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Michael_Gregory_(actor)\">Michael Gregory<\/a>) that Dex&#8217;s bullet triggered\u00a0<a title=\"Resurrection\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Resurrection\">resurrection<\/a>\u00a0<a title=\"Nanotechnology\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nanotechnology\">nanotech<\/a>\u00a0on the biochip, repairing the damage to V&#8217;s brain but starting an irreversible process to overwrite their memories with those of Johnny, whose\u00a0<a title=\"Engram (neuropsychology)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Engram_(neuropsychology)\">memory engram<\/a>\u00a0is stored on the chip, leaving V only a few weeks before the process completes. The biochip cannot be removed, so V must find a way to remove Johnny and survive.<\/p>\n<p>Through\u00a0<a title=\"Flashback (narrative)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Flashback_(narrative)\">reliving Johnny&#8217;s memories<\/a>, V learns that in 2013, Johnny&#8217;s then-girlfriend Alt Cunningham (<a title=\"Alix Wilton Regan\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alix_Wilton_Regan\">Alix Wilton Regan<\/a>) had created Soulkiller, an\u00a0<a title=\"Artificial intelligence\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Artificial_intelligence\">artificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0able to copy netrunners&#8217; minds through their\u00a0<a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Brain-computer interface\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brain-computer_interface\">neural links<\/a>. However, the process destroyed the target&#8217;s brain. Arasaka kidnapped Alt and forced her to create their own version of Soulkiller, which would store the minds of its targets in Arasaka&#8217;s digital fortress, Mikoshi. Johnny led a rescue effort to save Alt, but failed to find her before Arasaka used Soulkiller on her; Johnny&#8217;s later\u00a0<a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Thermonuclear\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thermonuclear\">thermonuclear<\/a>\u00a0attack was a cover to free Alt&#8217;s consciousness from Arasaka&#8217;s subnet, but Arasaka&#8217;s head of security Adam Smasher captured him and used Soulkiller on him as well.<\/p>\n<p>By 2077, Arasaka was advertising a &#8220;Secure Your Soul&#8221; program and conducting secret research into writing a digital copy of a mind into a living human brain, from which the Relic arose. Eventually, V must decide whether to mount an attack on Arasaka Tower to gain physical access to Mikoshi and use Soulkiller to remove Johnny from their body or to make a deal with Arasaka to extract the Relic.<\/p>\n<p>Depending upon player actions throughout the game, V can choose different options to conduct the attack. V can allow Johnny to stage the attack with his former crew, suppress Johnny and mount the attack with a network of allies assembled during the game, mount the attack solo, or simply commit suicide. Regardless, after beating Adam and either successfully using Soulkiller or after having Arasaka perform surgery on them, it is revealed that the damage to V&#8217;s body is irreversible. Depending on player choice, V either requests Arasaka to be uploaded into Mikoshi until a suitable host body is found, remains in their body with an uncertain life expectancy, or allows Johnny to take over permanently. If the latter is taken, Johnny pays his respects to his friends and leaves Night City to start a new life.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Production\" class=\"mw-headline\">Production<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"mw-halign-right\"><figcaption><a title=\"Mike Pondsmith\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mike_Pondsmith\">Mike Pondsmith<\/a>\u00a0was consulted by\u00a0<a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"CD Projekt Red\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CD_Projekt_Red\">CD Projekt Red<\/a>\u00a0on the development of\u00a0<i>Cyberpunk 2077<span class=\"nowrap\">&#8216;<\/span><\/i>s story.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Preliminary work on\u00a0<i>Cyberpunk 2077<\/i>\u00a0began following the release of\u00a0<i><a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Witcher_2:_Assassins_of_Kings_Enhanced_Edition\">The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition<\/a><\/i>\u00a0(2012).\u00a0<a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"CD Projekt Red\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CD_Projekt_Red\">CD Projekt Red<\/a>\u2014CD Projekt&#8217;s internal development studio\u2014approached\u00a0<a title=\"Mike Pondsmith\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mike_Pondsmith\">Mike Pondsmith<\/a>, the writer of\u00a0<i><a title=\"Cyberpunk (role-playing game)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberpunk_(role-playing_game)\">Cyberpunk<\/a><\/i>\u00a0and founder of\u00a0<a title=\"R.
