Despite its delay, Cyberpunk 2077 is still one of the most anticipated PlayStation 4 games of 2020. We can't wait to see what CD Projekt Red has in store for us, and it looks like pop star Grimes can't either. She has her very own character in the game, and in a recent livestream states that it's "going to be f***ing good."
Reported by VG247, Grimes plays the role of Lizzy Wizzy. "I mean I haven’t played it, but I saw someone play an hour of the game. I play a pop star who committed suicide on stage, and they had to quickly come and perform emergency surgery and replace her whole body with cybernetics while she was dead for an hour. Then she finished the show as a cyborg. One of the greatest pieces of performance art ever made."
The quotes only serve to increase our hype for the upcoming title, which is now planned for launch on PS4 in September 2020. The singer is also making original music for the game alongside the likes of Run The Jewels, A$AP Rocky, Rat Boy, and Gazelle Twin. Are you looking forward to meeting Grimes in-game? Plan your weird and wonderful music video in the comments below.

"...replace her whole body with cybernetics while she was dead for an hour."
She shouldn't give her boyfriend Elon Musk any ideas.
I'm so out of touch with modern music, but I have to ask... Who?
Good pfft it's going to be Epic and an amazing outstanding game.
@Mintie My personal favourite by her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTLTXDHrgtw
@LiamCroft Well... that's 30 seconds of my life I'm never getting back.
@Mintie Okay.
@Mintie I'm not saying this aggressively, I'm old enough to absolutely be in the same boat when it comes to the word "modern" really being stretched, but she's been around for 13 years. It's like a band that started in 1987 from the point of view of the year 2000. But like I said, I'm the same. Anything much after 2009-ish tends to feel recent to me.
This kind of song is the reason CDPR would've gone for her, not so much the other one that was posted. Really blocky, 80s-style synth stuff. Dare you gamble another 30 seconds of your life?

I do love Grimes despite Elon Musk being the slimiest man in existence. Her new album was a whole lot better than I expected from the singles and Oblivion, Genesis, Flesh without Blood and REALITi are permanent fixtures of my playlists.
@Mintie Another 30 seconds for ya if you’re not a chicken 😉

@nessisonett I reckon Realiti's her best song. Love this video for it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9XKLqGqwLA
@Matroska That's actually quite enjoyable... @nessisonett Also pretty good.
She reminds of another band and I'm blanking the name... possibly Metric... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uly3S2KjUf4
That seems crazy story in the game, can't wait for this game
@nessisonett I didn't like the songs you posted here. But the one that she performed in the Game Awards was kinda ok-ish.
Well if Grimes (who?), who is being paid to appear in the game says its good, it must be true!
I cannot stress enough that an endorsement from Grimes is practically a condemnation of this game. You can't trust anybody who got it on with Elon Musk to have good taste.
Id rather meet youtuber madqueen who has a cyberpunk channel and deserves more than anyone to be a character in the game.
Can we get an opinion from someone with actual musical talent? Not some thug who relies on auto tune. Shame Freddie M isn't around anymore.
Rockstar Games are the king of music in games for me.
::Looks at the list of artists::
I guess a trip to Wikipedia is necessary because NONE of those artists ring any bells.
Admittedly, other than artists who make headlines, I don't really know any musical artists past maybe 2000 - especially if not in the rock genre.
Fair enough, famous person talking game up is good... Be nice to have a retro soundtrack too though with Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre among others
This whole soundtrack is pretty disappointing so far
Someone starring in game says that game they are in will be amazing...
"A pop star who committed suicide on stage, and they had to quickly come and perform emergency surgery and replace her whole body with cybernetics"
I believe they had a similar system in place for the Sugababes
I've gotta say, the music and artists I've heard about in connection to the game have been disappointing so far.
@LiamCroft That's my favourite, too!! <3
Can't wait for this game
I'm putting a Depeche Mode and New Order playlist on when I play Cyberpunk 2077.
I hate to be that guy, but this backstory is not a great representation of mental health issues. The character is suicidal, and being reanimated as a cyborg just fixes everything?
Would be a lot cooler if it was skinny puppy, nitzer ebb, front 242 etc
I have honestly never heard of her. What kind of music does she do?
@Matroska that could have been lifted straight out of the 80s
@johnny30 I posted this above: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JtH68PJIQLE
There's a few other links above, too.
