Another day, another Cyberpunk 2077 rumour. CD Projekt Red's highly anticipated sci-fi RPG seems to be one of those games that generates a lot of hearsay, some more plausible than others. It was only a few days ago that a rumour was going around suggesting a 2019 release date for the game is on the cards which, let's face it, is extremely unlikely.
The latest word on the street, however, suggests that entertainment mega star Lady Gaga will be lending her talents to the title. This comes from French website Actugaming, which claims it's heard from a source that the singer/actor was spotted at the developer's offices. A rough translation (thanks, Reddit) reads, "sources close to the studio say she was seen there and did a mocap performance. Everything else is uncertain, but there's a good chance she's going to be in the game in some capacity."
In addition, the official Cyberpunk Twitter account replied to one of Lady Gaga's old tweets. It's an odd exchange, but here it is:
Stranger things have happened, we suppose. It's possible she'll be an in-game performer, maybe belting out an original song for the game, but we're veering into speculation territory now. There's not exactly much to go on, so it could still be a load of nonsense. What do you think of this? Is Lady Gaga going to appear in Cyberpunk 2077? Write a bad romance in the comments below.

Eurgh. Why? No thank you
If we can kill her in game I have no problem with it.
I thought this game sounded a bit shallow.
@Gamer4Lyfe I know right .im not a fan of Lady Gaga.make her a bad guy.whathever shehe is.word up son
Do you want love, or you want fame
Are you in the game, dans le love game?
Obviously I'm a big fan.
She’s known to be a gamer, and iirc has tweeted about bayonetta.... so, plausible?
Gonna be hard to read them pokerfaced cyborgs.

I wonder if she'll do a duet with Johnny Silverhand?
Yes please. Lady Gaga is a hell of a talent and she actually makes pop music fun in a sea of blandness
This would lessen my interest in the game rather than increase it. Not a fan at all.
Meh. She's a talented singer, but I never really liked her. If anything, this makes me want to check out the game less than I did before. Same with other celebrities starring in movies (Rihanna for example).
Her face seems to have a digitized quality to it so she's already halfway there.
I hope she's doing the soundtrack.
Sarcasm isn't always apparent when written but I see it this time, @get2sammyb
@get2sammyb
I thought CDPR brought Taylor Swift in for that?
@playstation1995 Nothing against her personally, I don't mind some of her music but I don't like when singers make guest appearances in video games or tv shows just for the sake of it.
For example Ed Sheeran making an appearance in Game of Thrones, it was a singing part but it was so cheesy. I could see gaga doing the same type of thing, maybe singing at a bar or something.
@naruball Agreed.
@naruball Why would a celebrity being in a game make you less interested in it? If it was Jimmy Savile or Bill Cosby fair enough but jeez, that's a bit of an over-reaction.
@SirRealDeal That wasn't sarcasm, though. I genuinely hope she's doing the soundtrack.
@gingerfrog This was an unnecessary comment. Please don't do this.
I'd like them to use Led Zeppelin tunes as the soundtrack, @get2sammyb
In The Evening. Ten Years Gone. Carouselambra. 😀
@MickOnYourFace Why would it not?
1. She has no place in it.
2. She would break immersion.
3. I don't like her so seeing a meat-dress wearing attention wh*** makes the game less appealing.
An overreaction would be to say I was excited about the game, but because of her I no longer am. This isn't the case. This simply makes me less interested in a game I was on the fence about.
Funny people hating on LG because she’s popular. I call it the Fortnite Affect.
@kyleforrester87 Funny how you assume it's because she's popular.
Edit: affect?
@naruball it’s not that funny, but I’m glad I brightened up your Thursday!
Edit: I’m dyslexic, stop shaming me :’(
I'm fine with it either way as long as it doesn't break the immersion. Hopefully they make good use of her talents if she is going to play a part.
I'm really not up to date on celebrity gossip so I have no idea why people commenting here dislike her so much.
@naruball funnier than your false analogy, that's for sure
@naruball hahaha you said anal.
@kyleforrester87 u so kwel
Meh, I'm sure she's going to be a singer like that NPC in Fallout 4 so I don't really care.
@kyleforrester87 "you said anal"... facepalm Really dude?
@gingerfrog haha that was funny👍😅😆.word up son
@kyleforrester87 nah she just suck.thats why I miss 1980s music and 1990s pop.cyndie pauper.hall and oats.michael Jackson.etc hack give me Madonna and I'm no5 even a huge Madonna fan.but I like her music better than Lady Gaga.word up son
She’s an actual gamer girl though.
So I’m ok with this.
@Gamer83 I agree with you.not a fan of her.at least see some retro music star.like Madonna.cyndie pauper.about bringing phil Collins..etc word up son
Maybe you can play as her but they just needed her briefly for the few times you see your character.
Meh, I don't care either way
She's a really talented actress and singer, it can only be a good thing. Don't get why all the hate for her appearing in a game?
@Octane don’t lie you little monster. (You might have to google that one)
Lady Gaga was my jam back in her Bad Romance days, and she was excellent in A Star is Born. Don't get the venom towards her at all. Whatever she contributes to Cyberpunk 2077 should be good (granted she's in it, of course).
@get2sammyb
Sorry won't happen again
@gingerfrog No worries!
I hope she won't be in the game in any capacity. CP2077 is supposed to be about alternative universes, subverting commercialism, decay and isolation, not pop-culture banalities or following burnout trends. I have to say that it would make me less interested in all the hype surrounding the game.
I hope she's in the game, I love LG. She was awesome in a star is born
Apt. A lot of her music sounds like robots marching music. Not a criticism, a genuine observation. Don't care enough about her personally either way.
my exposure to lady gaga is almost non-existent and i don't think i could name any of her songs.. it's pretty much limited to a star is born, and i thought she was terrific in it. how about waiting to see in what context she will appear in the game, if this is even true at all, before passing judgement that she has no business being in it?
I normally HATE when mainstream celebrities are in movies/games but from watching behind the scenes sorta interviews etc over the years ive come to like her quite a bit. Seems like a really smart and down to earth person and her gaga persona could really make sense in the cyberpunk world imo
I could do without her.
Does this mean, Rocket Raccoon will be in the game also?
Ffs why do people think these things need to be done? WHY?
@SirRealDeal more like a pixelated mess.
@NintendoFan4Lyf Was just about to mention the same game.
You still see Elvis around today so I don’t see why she shouldn’t be in 2077.
