Cyberpunk 2077: CD Projekt Red Jokingly Calls Out Players for Leaving Hanako Waiting
Cyberpunk 2077 players who prioritize exploration and side quests over the main storyline are getting a playful nudge from CD Projekt Red. The developers have released a humorous video featuring actress Cherami Leigh Takahashi (who portrays Hanako Arasaka in the game) to remind players that Hanako has been patiently waiting for them at the Embers restaurant.
The joke stems from the “Nocturne Op55N1” mission, which occurs late in the game. Players frequently enough spend considerable time completing other content before tackling the final stages, leaving Hanako waiting for hours, even days, in-game.
In the TikTok video (link provided), Takahashi, as Hanako, delivers a witty message: “V, my future freind, perhaps. I am Hanako Arasaka. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time in Embers. So long that I might buy this establishment and change the name to something like ‘The Hall of Eternal Anticipation.'”
She continues, playfully threatening to promote the bartender to Vice President of the Department of Deep disappointment if V doesn’t arrive soon.The message ends with a plea: “Send a signal, please.”
The video has resonated with players, many of whom are admitting to neglecting Hanako’s mission while immersing themselves in Night City.
Cyberpunk 2077 success:
This lighthearted campaign coincides with the game’s 5th anniversary and the proclamation that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 35 million units – surpassing even the sales of The Witcher 3.
