If anything could be said about that is that's most probably an event that happened in time.

Bruh this is nothing new. We had the legend Patrick Stewart and the captain of gondor in Oblivion.

Yeah, but that was just the voice. This (and Keanu silverhand) are trying to be the actors straight up playing characters in the game.

This was already a thing back in the ‘90s. Several games had actors in them, it was a sign of the times because it hadn’t been done before. After the exuberance wore off we got more professional voice actors to do parts. Guess it’s back in style again.

this reeks like Keanu's unwashed hair; an exec's "great idea: what if we put the famous dude in our game, AGAIN?" because we are so thoroughly unconfident in our game's gameplay that flavor of the month/year/decade will surely make up for it.

Yeah game companies are using an actor's credibility to shill their rushed trash. See Cyberpunk
