Cyberpunk 2020
In the story "Do not give up" is described the story of Arasaka's girlfriend Silverhand, Alta Cunningham, the highly talented Netrunnerka. Arasaka needed Alta to program a program called "Soulkiller", which could easily bend the brains of selected Netrunners. Thomas, Rogue and Santiago helped in the reflection of Johnny. Alta, wanting to outsmart Arasaka, transferred her consciousness to the Web. However, it was detected and it was closed there, and the body was "killed". At the same time, Silverhand attacked the residence with relief, seeing the body of his beloved shot Toshiro-chan who was in this room, who managed the action of the kidnapping of Alta.

Firestorm: Shockwave
In the second part of the Firestorm series, Silverhand's death is described during the assault on Arasaki's main headquarters, but the bodies are not found, and there are rumors about Night City that he is still in hiding.

Cyberpunk 2077
Johnny will appear in the video, possibly as a deuteragonist.

The trailer shared on E3 2019 where it shows Silverhand at the end, who helps V when he was left to die. He tells V to get up and get ready to battle against those who tried to kill him.
