Warning: Spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077 ahead.
Even if you've chosen to be Johnny-no-mates at Night City, Game cyberpunk 2077at least the main story always has an ending option to choke you when you end up sitting on that roof at the height of its main story. That doesn't stop one fan from deciding to throw another into the mix, after plotting an extra adventure for their V and Johnny Silverhand in an hour-long Machinima film .
This project is the work of cosplayer and virtual photographer Valerie Silverhand – just in case you were wondering which game characters they like – who has been has long been a staple of the Cyberpunk community.

Their fan film, called Black Dog, was screened through a cool trailer late last year, and has now been released in full on YouTube. It is about an hour long, and was put together through Machinima using assets from Cyberpunk, augmented by the use of mods and custom cinematics used to set its original story expressed.
It's also important to note that the movie apparently uses some AI voices to give lines to the various characters from the base game that it introduces – like Silverhand, Judy, Viktor Vektor, you get the opinion Valerie Silverhand writes in a disclaimer at the start of the video – which also emphasizes that the project is not affiliated with or endorsed by CD Projekt itself – that “AI voice tools were used for content purposes fans only, and not used for profit or with intent to exploit voice actors.”
That might put you off the fan film, but at least they're ahead of it so people can make that call for themselves, because this kind of AI deployment is arguably it is more of a moral gray area than is used for simulation. VAs voices for commercial projects, which definitely a case with the potential to affect actors' livelihoods.
Anyway, to avoid spoilers in case you go ahead and watch, here's a bit of the setting for the movie's plot given early on: “A year has passed since V breached fortress Arasaka's physical data of Digital Souls called Mikoshi. rejecting the dichotomy offered by the rogue AI, Alt Cunningham, V and Johnny Silverhand leave Mikoshi together in hopes of finding another solution.” Things then pick up with V after learning of ” the secret Arasaka cryo vault” which is “rumored to store Saburo Arasaka's most private collection”.
As mentioned by the director of the related game Cyberpunk Sequel Paweł It seems that Sasko got a kick out of the movie, after fall “A very ambitious and complex project, very proud of you! Congratulations.” in response to Valerie Silverhand's post about it.
