An easter egg is simply an acknowledgement by the devs that something about the other universe is cool. So 'Section 9' should not and cannot appear in CP2077 for any reason.Ĭlick to expand.Yes and no.
If you're not setting up the cameo/crossover then you're not only breaking the lore of both worlds but you're also doing it to pander. For example, if CDPR adds the Major from GiTS to CP2077 as a crossover character then what's special about CP2077 universe? Is it unique on its own or is it just a part of GiTS, or is GiTS a part of CP2077 universe now? Similarly, what if they had characters from all those franchises I mentioned? Cyberpunk 2020/77's identity is lost. Slippery Slope is also a legitimate argument as far as cameos and crossovers are concerned. The most you can do is add easter egg references to other franchises here and there like the Serial Number N6MAA10816 (Roy Batty) shown on the CP2077 metro hub map in the E3 trailer. This isn't a crossover game like Kingdom Hearts (as one of the game's directors has clearly stated recently) or a combined game universe of all things Cyberpunk. Now they can choose to go that route or let it remain an easter egg and nothing more. CDPR even set up the Ciri cameo for CP2077, whether they wanted to or not, that was the effect it ultimately had on their fans. That's why Geralt's appearance is not considered canon. It's a fighting game with guest characters and people understand that. Soul Caliber and CDPR worked out a deal for Geralt's cameo in that game. None of the IPs I've mentioned as potential cameos fit in with the tone of CP2020 from what I've read about CP2020 lore. You can't just decide to add a character from a different universe just because you think he/she would fit in with your game. That's not how intellectual properties work, though.
