If you've played Cyberpunk 2077, you've likely experienced all three of V's original backstories that the game offered: corpo, nomad, and streetkid. Well, thanks to a mod, there's now a brand new fourth option for you to try, complete with its own new intro sequence.

Yes, while The Witcher 3's modding community has been creating and trying out many cutting-edge modding ideas this year while waiting for The Witcher 4, with the help of CD Projekt's REDkit tool for Geralt's Adventures Cyberpunk modders are also pushing the envelope of what they can do with the studio's other massive role-playing games.

Enter “Introduction to a New Life Path – A Fresh Start” by modder Deceptious. It's a highly complex title that adds entirely new backstory options and thus kicks off a game that's historically been difficult to do – even something like a small custom mission requires a lot of work, and Still very rare.

The mod's new backstory essentially allows you to combine two existing stories, casting V as “both a former Corporation and a former Nomad returning to Night City.” So instead of starting work in Arasaka, relaxing at El Coyote Cojo, or taking a spin in the badlands, your adventure begins with the prologue of jumping out of a plane at the North Carolina Orbital Aviation Terminal.

Main story characters Jackie, Misty, and Vik all play a role in this new introductory mission, which then feeds into the default animation sequence for you and Jackie to complete the mission until you're involved in a certain Golden White Plaza robbery, and Let the game really begin. Since your character is both a corporate and a nomad, they'll have access to unique choices and dialogue options for both lifestyles throughout the game, though obviously you'll be able to decide which one you actually choose when the time comes.

Deceptions have been working on this mod for a while, regularly showing off their progress on social media, so I definitely recommend checking out their Twitter feed if you're interested in developing something this complex for Cyberpunk. Also, if you give this mod a try, judging from the comments section, you might run into some teething problems, but I'd say that's to be expected with a mod of this nature that's just been released.

In other recent CD Projekt-themed news, the studio recently discussed that REDengine isn't the route to Cyberpunk's release issues, and I spent some time with this Witcher 3 mod that turns Geralt into a centaur Very fun time.
