Summary
The character designs ofCyberpunk 2077lend themselves to some impressive cosplay butthis talented fan managed to inadvertently look like two different characters at once. While V and the companions that surround them for the majority of the game are the stars of CD Projekt Red’s RPG, there are plenty of smaller supporting characters that have managed to secure a place in the community’s collective heart. Arguably, the most beloved is none other than Jackie Welles, V’s best friend, which makes this accidental crossover cosplay particularly interesting.
Posted to Reddit byWaharbl,the cosplayer shared their fantastic V cosplay that they created to attend a CDPR-organized community event.
With the intricate detailing on the collar, jacket arms, and Widowmaker, it’s an impressive display of talent and craftsmanship but what’s perhaps most interesting is their face:They bear a striking similarity to Jackie Welles.Many users in the comments section stated as much, noting that they were initially confused at seeing Jackie Welles dressed in V’s standard outfit before realizing the intention behind the cosplay.

Anything Is Possible In The Future
Jackie Welles continues to be one ofCyberpunk 2077’s most beloved characters four years after its releaseand it’s not difficult to understand why. A smooth-talking mountain of a man with a love for his family and friends, his unfortunate fate is a major moment in V’s story, one that reverberates throughout Night City. While it seems unlikely that Jackie could make a return inthe confirmedCyberpunk 2077sequel, there are certainly avenues CDPR could explore to give fans some more time torelax with their favorite choom.
Details on the follow-up are still scarce butJackie Welles could feature if it ends up being a prequel set before the events of2077.His youth is largely shrouded in mysteryso having a story that explains how he turned to a life of mercenary work in Night City would provide some fun context on how he ultimately became V’s best friend and fell in with so many underhanded individuals. Alternatively,CDPR could turn him into a Johnny Silverhand-esque characterthat exists with the protagonist’s head toprovide encouragement and guidance.
Whatever the case may be, Jackie Welles will forever be the belovedCyberpunk 2077community. For their part,Waharbl is already working on a cosplay based on the character, insisting they’re in the middle of sewing the costume. If their V cosplay is anything to go, Jackie will likely be just as impressive.
