Keanu Reeves fans, here is something for you today. After the gaming community embracing Keanu Reeves, we were expecting the first mod based on the actor to be for CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher 3. However, it appears that the first Keanu Reeves mod is available for Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.

Created by modder ‘JinMar’, this mod allows you to play as John Wick or Johnny Silverhand from Cyberpunk 2077. Naturally, these 3D models are based on Keanu Reeves so we are pretty sure that his fans will be very pleased with this mod. Now imagine if the modder could also, somehow, add the “You’re breathtaking” line.

Naturally, and since this is a 3D swapper, it does not alter/change the voices so it will be a bit weird listening Keanu with Kiefer’s voice. Furthermore, this is still a WIP project, meaning that there might be some glitches and graphical issues (in the John Wick screenshots you can clearly notice the different skin colours of the neck and head for instance).

Still, this is a clever mod and I’m pretty sure that a lot of players will download it in order to replace Snake’s model. Those interested can download it from here and you can use the Hair 1 Preset to play as John Wick, or the Hair 2 Preset to play as Johnny SIlverhand from Cyberpunk 2077.

In order to showcase the mod, JinMar has also released some screenshots that you can find below.

Wow, that's really impressive! Taking out a base as John Wick sounds fun.

I guess most people love to have famous celebrities in their games.

I will be honest with you, it takes me out of the game and kind of pulls me out of the experience. Not a fan.

Exactly the same, I like Keanu and I highly enjoy his movies but I don't want him or another celebrities in my games. I always have and always will like having original character design over just putting famous actor's face in my games.

This why I have zero hype for Death Stranding, it feels like they trying sell me on the actors rather than the actual character on the game.

I also think that whatever cost that would go into getting any celeb could go into so many better things, especially kicking back to developers or just simply reducing production costs. There is just no real reason for it. Is the new Star Wars game somehow better because they got the kid from Gotham and Shameless in it? Or the new CoD (I think it is) that has John Bernthal? I fucking love Keanu and it is a hell of an easter egg but the trend is a mess and it will turn into a game of one-ups-manship and the games do not benefit from these faces and honestly they really do not even need the voices because all it does is take work away from voice actors.
