1. What is each Lifepath about?

So, the first thing that you’ll face after choosing the difficulty of the game will be the choice of Lifepath for V, your in-game character. As most of you know already, there are three paths to choose from:

  • Corporate: In this one, V will be an Arasaka agent and basically serve as an insider to the megacorp. Here, your adventure in Night City will start from the Arasaka Tower.

2. What will happen if you choose one path over the others?

A little bit on the RPG side, because Cyberpunk is an RPG second and an Action-adventure first. Let me summarize what WILL be different:

  • The prologue sequence will be different for each of the paths. You will be introduced to Night City through different characters as well.
  • Additional dialogue options will be there for paths in different situations.
  • How you end up befriending Jackie Welles will be different.
  • Side-quests that are path-specific will be there as well.
  • If you’re super into it, then the upbringing and personality of V will be different.

That’s pretty much it, actually. Rest assured, how you build V afterward is entirely up to you.

3. What Lifepath will be the best for you?

Well, as you probably understand at this point, what you choose V to depend entirely upon the storytelling perspective that you wish to experience in Cyberpunk 2077.

The lifepaths will not affect your stats and abilities, and once the prologue ends, all three will lead to the same starting point. So, to summarize, don’t fret over it too much and go have fun!

4. About Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt, based on video game designer Mike Pondsmith’s game series.

Set in a dystopian cyberpunk universe, the player assumes the role of “V,” a mercenary in the fictional Californian city known as “Night City,” where they deal with the fallout from a heist gone wrong that results in an experimental cybernetic “bio-chip” containing an engram of the legendary rock star and terrorist Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves) threatening to slowly overwrite V’s mind; as the story progresses V and Johnny must work together to find a way to be separated and save V’s life.
