See Elon Musk make a surprise cameo in Cyberpunk 2077

The much-anticipated game also features Grimes as a cyborg pop star called Lizzy Wizzy

With the release of Cyberpunk 2077 just around the corner (tomorrow!), earlybird players have spotted Elon Musk, or a very close look alike, in the background of one of the scenes.

CNET reported encountering the SpaceX founder in the bathroom of a “corporate” play through, where the playable character “V” quickly shoos him away. Whether it’s actually Musk is yet to be confirmed, but the resemblance is uncanny.

Elsewhere, Grimes will take on the character of Lizzy Wizzy, a cyborg pop star whose whole body was replaced with cybernetics after she died onstage (get a closer look at the character and her backstory here). Voiced by the artist herself, Lizzy Wizzy will appear in the game alongside a character played by Keanu Reeves.

Grimes’ tracks “4ÆM” and “Delicate Weapon” will also feature on the soundtrack, alongside music by SOPHIE, Shygirl, Run The Jewels, Nina Kravitz, and more. All of the artists featured will appear under fictional identities, with their music being piped in via in-game radio stations. SOPHIE and Shygirl, for example, will become the duo Clockwork Venus, whose track is titled “BM”. Run the Jewels will become Yankee and the Brave.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set for release on December 10. Watch the latest trailer below.
