This iceberg is comprised of both facts and theories about Cyberpunk 2077. I combed the game and internet to find the best entries, and if the given entry is a theory, I will comment on whether or not I think it holds water. If you’re reading this, thank you!
Tier 1: The Sky – Megabuilding H10
Mr Blue Eyes – The shady character named Mr Blue Eyes. Will be elaborated on further down the list.
Morgan Blackhand – Legendary merc last seen during the 2023 Arasaka Tower raid, frequently talked about among the game’s characters.
Various Connections To The Witcher – References such as Roach Race, a magazine featuring Ciri in corpo V’s drawer, and the Geralt/Yen shard in orbital air. All implying the worlds are connected.

FF:06:B5 – A mysterious code found on statues in Night City, will be elaborated on further down.
V’s Real Name – Male V’s name is Vincent, and female V’s name is Valerie.
(Don’t Fear) The Reaper – The secret ending unlocked after waiting 5 minutes on Misty’s rooftop after getting a 70% relic rating. It involves V and
Johnny solo storming Arasaka tower, and any death results in an end game screen. Functionally similar to the Rogue ending, only she survives in the secret ending as she is not there.

Skippy – An AI assisted gun that can be found in city center, will be elaborated upon further down.
Things Done Changed – The ending unlocked in Phantom Liberty by turning in Songbird, AKA The Tower ending. V gets cured, but at a great price.

Hideo Kojima – His cameo can be found in the bar of Konpeki Plaza, discussing advancements in BD technology.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners – The anime series released in September 2022, as well as being the theme of the 1.6 update.

Thanks for the write up, I’ve played the game multiple times at this point and missed a lot of this because the text is just a bit too hard to read sometimes and I’m impatient. I’m really digging all of this info!
