If you’ve ever wondered what main characters look like early in the development process, well, here’s your chance, as a modder has found placeholder models of many of Cyberpunk 2077’s characters – and even “restored” some of them to make them playable. In as much as you can restore something that was never intended to make the final cut, anyway.
The Ghosts of Night City mod by Hineytroll reveals a whole bunch of unused character assets, including for main characters like Rogue, Jackie and Judy. These all appear to be placeholders, and while some barely resemble their final characters, others look far closer to the finished product. And, to be honest, they’re just quite funny to look at.
Here are some screenshots of Judy, Lizzy Wizzy, Jackie, Rogue and Panam, who all vaguely resemble their final versions – aside from Panam’s extremely blonde hair, perhaps. I’m now christening this bunch Jody, Dizzy Mizzy, Juckie, Rague and Ponom.
