As is natural for many video games,Cyberpunk 2077is filled to the brim with Easter eggs. These include references toBreaking Bad,Batman, Death Strandingand Hideo Kojima,Fallout, Grand Theft Auto,Keanu’s breathtaking moment at E3, and naturally,The Witcher 3. With both games coming from CD Projekt Red, it’s only natural that a couple appear throughoutCyberpunk 2077.
For example, players can find a retro gaming magazine that has a picture of Ciri on it, a Roach Race arcade game, the Wolf School Jacket, and a Barn Swallow (in an ending). Another one that stands out is how manyCyberpunk 2077NPCs play a song fromThe Witcher 3on their guitar, but one NPC stands out from the others.

For those with a good ear, they may recognize the tune ofThe Witcher 3: Blood and Wine’s “Beast of Beauclair” being played around the city. Basically, any and every NPC in Night City only knows this one song. It plays during the battle againstThe Witcher 3’s Detlaff when he is in vampire form; the song changes when he takes on his monstrous form. Of course, for those without a good ear or who haven’t playedThe Witcher 3in a while, it’s easily missable.
However, as pointed out by Redditor NeuroTechno94, there is also anNPC in the Aldecados campwho plays this song. It’s an even easier one to miss, as depending on how much players invest in Panam’s story, they may only visit the camp once or twice. Going multiple times doesn’t guarantee the NPC will be playing the song even. It doesn’t add much more to the premise of the song being inCyberpunk 2077, as it remains as a simpleWitcher 3Easter egg, but it does show that this song—however it “exists” in-universe—isn’t just limited to the streets of Night City.
Chances are, as music is so important to many figures inCyberpunk 2077, there is some band who played it at some point. It doesn’t seem to beJohnny Silverhand’s Samurai, but perhaps it could be. On the other end of the spectrum, since the retro gaming mag shows Ciri, perhapsThe Witcher 3video game exists inCyberpunk 2077. It would be interesting if it was just popular in the world because of the game. The most likely scenario, though, is that it is just an Easter egg, and it doesn’t really need more explanation than that.
Cyberpunk 2077is available on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X enhancements are in the works.
