Mr Blue Eyes – I don’t think I need to elaborate more since he’s the biggest mystery in 2077
Jefferson Peralez – at the end of 2077 he was elected to be the new mayor of NC I kinda want to see how things turn out
Reed – My personal favorite character from PL, just wanna see if he finally able to break that cycle of being exploited, used, betrayed
Hanako – she became the president of Arasaka I want to see how the corpo goes after all that events
As for Johnny I’m almost certain he’ll get some references but I don’t think he’ll be a returning character, since he’s just a contrast in 2077 idk how they gonna give him a human body yk and it doesn’t really fit in the whole lore

I personally want to see more about Mr. Hands. I find his character fascinating I feel like there is much more to him than is being shown in the game

Hanako’s still waiting at Embers.

I’d love to see references to most of the important characters but mainly hoping for totally new locale, totally new cast, totally different time.

NIGHTCORP IS PURE EVIL. i’d glad to burn it down

We NEED a part two to the Peralez story. I am on board with you here
Sadlord999
I really really want to continue v’s story
TwoPintsPrick92
It’s crazy that I’m 84 hours into the game (first playthrough) and Reeds the only one I’ve had any dealings with . Probably helps I completed PL early only before even meeting Takamura down the street or meeting Panam for the first time.

I just want to know if So Mi made it out okay after I sent her to the moon.

I’d love to see more of Hands. A powerful and well connected Fixer who at that point would have more influence over Night City. He would probably have some Preem gigs to do that require only his top tier Mercs.

Hanako and Reed can’t appear in Orion >!Since they have endings where they die!<.

Mister Blue Eyes seems like the logical choice, the fact that he’s involved in multiple endings of the game very much feels like something with him is being set up down the line, narratively speaking.

Hanako is dead or eventually dies in most endings in 2077 tho..

I WANT TO SEE SO MI AGAIN

I’d like to see River and kick his ass for leaving my V because he couldn’t even spare 6 months of his oh so valuable time

God I hate Mr. Blue Eyes, anyone but him haha

Morgan Blackhand surely makes an appearance.

None of them will return but Jefferson could as he’s the mayor of night city

Definitely not Reed >!bc some ppl like myself killed him!<

Hanako, as a romanceable choom

Mr Hands dude’s a major player and he’ll definitely dip his hands into whatever is going on most likely 5th corporate war
Songbird/ Reed Depends if they have save ports which I hope they do because choosing one ending to be cannon negates our choices in 2077
Mr Blue Eyes : if they choose a cannon ending most likely i think it’ll be Songbird to the moon and sun ending with V and So mi on Night corps side they’ll definitely do some major things if the crystal palace heist is a success and i think Mr Blue can save V with tech they used on the Peralzes maybe reprogram DNA not to kill V or give them a new body
V/Johnny , if they have saveports seeing what Johnny is up to in his new life would be awesome maybe he plays a big part in the story or maybe he lives the quite life upside is they don’t have to cast Keanu again because he’s in V’s body and has their vocal cords . V can return as ai V or could be on Blue Eyes’s side as Night Corps Adam Smasher or maybe survive the other endings it’ll be wild to have V as the final boss for the next game though if Night Corp is our big bad for the next game and V may survive the other endings too .
I just hope we have saveports

Going off key players from 2077:
Vik is a possibility depending on how close to 2077 Orion ends up being, but that will also depend on which ending winds up being canon and doubly so if the PL survival ending winds up being canon.
Padre will probably not come back, same with Wakako since both of them are hella old and will probably die of natural causes between 2077 and Orion.
I don’t think Hanako will come back, even if the Arasaka ending is canon, since there’s not much that could really be done with her character following 2077 without manufacturing a conflict to involve her in. I doubt that Arasaka would be a key player on Orion given how prevalent they are in 2077, same with Militech to a degree given we got some focus on them with PL.
Reed might come back, but that would require the FIA to get involved again which would in turn require some form of major national security event to occur.
I can see Mr Hands coming back and being essentially a mafia boss ruling Dogtown from the shadows and being a key player again in Orion.
Being honest, I don’t think that a lot of the key players would realistically come back regardless of proximity to 2077 in the timeline. It would make sense for various characters to rotate in and out between titles as you either die a legend or live long enough to fade out of memory in Night City, that’s the way it’s always been in the universe

I doubt Reed is going to return as his fate is directly tied to player choices, but Mr Peralez, Hanako and Mr Blue Eyes I can see returning.
I also want nods to Misty, Myers, Victor or Claire.
