"She's best girl", the dev said during Edgerunner's watch party on Monday (thanks,
The Gamer). "But I feel a little bit guilty to say it because I was one of the people on the creative team to actually vote Rebecca out of the original cast during pre-production."
Fortunately for all of us, Studio Trigger insisted that Rebecca be a part of the anime.
"CD Projekt Red first got the character design for Rebecca and they were like 'She's a loli. Lolis don't exist in Night City. It doesn't fit the Cyberpunk 2077 aesthetic'. But Trigger was like 'No, the loli must stay.'"
