Cyberpunk 2077 has had a rocky journey, from its difficult launch and the strong negative reaction it received, to the compelling story it ultimately delivers. After CD Projekt Red fixed the initial problems with updates, the game became a popular and highly-rated action RPG. Even after releasing the substantial 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty expansion, the developers continued to add content, despite previously stating they wouldn’t. These additions were smaller in scale, but still valuable, with the recent 2.3 patch introducing new vehicles, an automated driving feature, and an improved photo mode.
Now that most of the major updates for the game are being finalized, many questions are arising about the sequel, currently called *Project Orion*. CD Projekt Red hasn’t revealed much about their plans for the next installment, but a developer recently shared a noteworthy detail about the age of *Cyberpunk 2077*’s main character, V. Though it might seem small, this detail actually has a bigger impact on the game’s story and established universe than you’d think.
Why V’s Age in Cyberpunk 2077 Makes More of a Difference Than it Might Seem
V’s Age Changes in Cyberpunk 2077
Originally, the game’s creator said V, the player character, was 27 years old (28 for the male version) when the story begins. However, a major update (version 2.0) changed this, stating both V’s were 23 and shared a birthday. This caused fans to debate whether 23 was too young for the character, particularly for those starting with the Corpo background. Recently, Patrick K. Mills, a senior quest designer and lore expert at CD Projekt Red, clarified the matter on Bluesky, firmly stating, “V is 27, regardless of what anyone says.”
The character V being 27 years old might be a nod to the “27 Club” – a group of famous musicians who died at that age. This connects to the main themes and ideas in *Cyberpunk 2077*.
V’s Updated Age in Cyberpunk 2077 Makes More Sense
Okay, so I was checking out the ages of some of the characters you can actually get to know – and even romance – in *Cyberpunk 2077*. It’s kinda interesting to see how old everyone is!
- Panam Palmer: 33
- Judy Alvarez: 24
- River Ward: 40
- Johnny Silverhand: 34 (at time of death)
- Rogue Amendiares: 89-90
- Kerry Eurodyne: 89
In *Cyberpunk 2077*, a character’s age doesn’t always match how they look, thanks to advanced cybernetics that can make someone appear much younger. For instance, Kerry and Rogue seem to be in their 30s or 40s, but are actually much older. Giving the player character, V, an older established age feels more natural when considering their possible relationships with other characters, their role in Night City, and how they develop throughout the story.
V’s New Age in Cyberpunk 2077 Could Also Come Into Play in the Sequel
Details about the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel are still scarce, but a big question is whether V will return. Now that V’s age is established, it gives developers more options for how to include them in the next game. The sequel could be a brand new story in a different city, or it could continue the events of the first game. Regardless, fans now have a confirmed age for V, allowing for more accurate roleplaying experiences.
