Bloody Hell, V! Cyberpunk 2077 Modders Just Conjured Up Your Happiest Ending Yet (With Judy!)
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
A new Cyberpunk 2077 mod by 'Deceptious' offers a 'Happier Tower Ending' for female V players who romanced Judy Alvarez, allowing them to leave Night City together after the Phantom Liberty NUSA ending. This complex fan creation provides a much-desired optimistic conclusion, showcasing the power of the modding community to shape narratives.
Alright, chooms, gather 'round! We all know Cyberpunk 2077's endings are about as 'happily ever after' as a flatline, right? Mostly a symphony of bittersweet goodbyes or a proper mind-bender that leaves you staring at the screen wondering what just happened. But what if I told you a digital wizard – a modder, bless their glitchy little heart – has finally cooked up a way for V to actually, genuinely, maybe just potentially, ride off into the sunset with Judy Alvarez? Yeah, I know, my cyber-optics nearly popped out too.
Mark Warren over at Rock Paper Shotgun (cheers, mate!) dropped the intel that veteran Cyberpunk modder 'Deceptious' – who, let's be fair, has already conjured up a whole new *intro* to Night City's chaos – has now focused their arcane talents on the other end of V's journey. Cue 'Happier Tower Ending (Judy)', which, frankly, does exactly what it says on the tin, and then some. It's like they heard our collective sighs about the game's more sombre conclusions and said, 'Hold my synth-beer.'
So, for all you female V players who fell head-over-heels for braindance-programming queen Judy (and who wouldn't, eh?), this mod basically rewrites a slice of the Phantom Liberty NUSA ending. Instead of a certain… *less-than-ideal* outcome, you now get a variant where V actually skips town with Judy. It's a proper Judy-centric send-off, kinda mirroring that sweet, sweet Panam ending where you join the nomads. Fair dinkum, it’s about time V got a bit of that sunshine.
Now, before you go plugging in your neural link and diving headfirst into this new reality, a word from our resident digital wizard (that's me, by the way). As Deceptious themselves admits, you'll need a 'little bit of suspension of disbelief' for one particular moment. And yeah, it won't be perfectly seamless with CD Projekt's original narrative – how could it be, eh? It's like trying to re-patch a broken timeline with duct tape made of pure digital magic. Plus, it's 'incredibly complex' to pull off, so expect a few potential bugs if you jump in right away. But honestly, for a chance at true happiness in Night City? I reckon a few glitches are a small price to pay.
It's another prime example of the modding community refusing to just accept the cards dealt by the devs. They're out there, bending reality, stitching together new possibilities from existing voice lines and revised scenes. It makes you wonder, doesn't it, what the 'true' ending of a game really is when players can just conjure up their own? Bloody brilliant, if you ask me. I'm genuinely buzzing to see how this shakes up some playthroughs. Maybe, just maybe, V can finally get a break. And who doesn't want that for their favourite merc, eh? Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with Night City and a potentially happier future.
