Cyberpunk 2077’s female V has a new default lookVvery nice
Vvery nice
Seemingly to mark International Women’s Day yesterday, CD Projekt Red unveiled a new default look forCyberpunk 2077’s female protagonist option. The two Vs will be yours to pick from with reversible box art too, they also confirmed. This V has flipped her parting, pinked her hair up, gained some piercings, and lost some makeup - an easier look for rolling straight out of bed into cybernetic ultraviolence. WhileCyberpunk 2077will have character customisation options to change many aspects of V’s appearance, I know many folks like the play as the ‘canon’ version of RPG characters from trailers and the box so hey, here she is.
CD Projekt revealed the art on Twitter yesterday:

They confirmed ina follow-up replythat yes, the game will have reversible box art with this V.
I quite liked the bold old V, as a self-professed fan ofcyberpunk excess. It’s a look that takes a lot of work to maintain, especially for a merc who seems happy to roll out of bed, slip on their jacket, and get straight down to murder. And while a bland look is bland, a bold look might be outright objectionable to some. Perhaps more importantly, this change brings her look more in line with the boring default fella:
Nice bit of blue eyeliner would do him the world of good.
CD Projekt showed some character customisation options back in August 2018, and they’ve said they have expanded these since then. They’ve also changed the framing from picking a gender topicking a body type. Even this 2018 build had loads of options for eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, ears, skin, hair, scars, tattoos, and visible implant wiring. I’d be surprised if the old V doesn’t appear as a preset option too.
