Developer CD Projekt Red revises V's age in Cyberpunk 2077, confirming to fans: "The character's age is now set at 27, not 22 as previously stated, so adjust your records accordingly."
In a recent clarification, Patrick K. Mills, the senior quest designer and loremaster for Cyberpunk 2077, has confirmed that the protagonist of the game, V, is firmly 27 years old. This age is a significant aspect of Mills' lore for the game, and it reflects the character's background and story context.
Previously, there was some confusion about V's age, with some speculating that the male and female versions of the character shared different birthdays. However, Mills has made it clear that both versions of V share the same birthday.
Despite the age of V not being a significant jump in Mills' opinion, it remains a part of the game's core canon. Mills has requested that the Cyberpunk Wiki be updated to reflect V's age as 27.
However, it is uncertain whether the Cyberpunk Wiki will be updated to match Mills' latest declaration. As of now, the Wiki still lists V's age as 23. It should be noted that the age of V was previously changed after the 2.0 update.
Mills has also been involved in the development of the game's DLC, Phantom Liberty. With no mention of upcoming CD Projekt Red games in the provided paragraph, fans can look forward to more of Mills' work in the Cyberpunk universe.
In conclusion, the age of V, though not a significant jump, is still a part of the game's canon according to Mills' lore. Fans can rest assured that the protagonist of Cyberpunk 2077 is indeed 27 years old.
