Cyberpunk 2077 is just a few months away from release. Fans need to be up to speed with the virtual reality that is Night City. The much-awaited game has created a complete alternate reality in the futuristic year, 2077.

NightCity is the location where the game will take place and it has every bit of detail any modern 2021 city has. The only difference apart from the apparent futuristic setting is that Night City might just be more detailed than you can probably imagine.

Knowing the background thoroughly will help players to adapt to the various idiosyncrasies that revolve around this particular city. In addition, the history of this city is brilliantly plotted to the point where this game begins. For example, if you visit the official Night City webpage, posters of the candidates for the mayor’s election are advertised. That could only mean the electoral proceedings will play a huge role in the campaign of the game.

Watson

When nuclear disaster struck Night City in the year 2023, Watson sheltered all the hopeless souls. While one would expect prosperity to come to a place that housed disaster-stricken citizens once, reality proved otherwise. By the 2050s, Watson was worn looking and dilapidated once again. The busiest place here is the buzzing bazaar of Kabuki. The name gives away its Japanese origin from decades ago. One can indulge in various eastern cultures in this industrial district.

Heywood

Rumored to have been built atop radioactive waste, this particular district is resplendent with a charm of its own. It is the home to Reconciliation Park which was built to commemorate a beginning of a new corporate era inside Night City.

Westbrook

The location of Japantown lies in this district. You would definitely want to pay a visit here to experience the rich nightlife that promises any pleasure one can think of. Furthermore, Westbrook might surprise you with its street culture and food.

Santo Domingo

Home to alarming criminal activity recently, Arroyo in Santo Domingo is still a splendid place to visit. The large open vistas and flavor of the city life allow citizens of this region to enjoy the rich spoils of the city without even stepping towards the city center. All the real estate here is under the control of corporations and they work to satisfy their necessities only.

Nevertheless, the Night City Police Department has declared the current crime levels inside Pacifica as ‘catastrophic’.

One word for the city outskirts- ‘dangerous’. Should anyone choose to explore it still, a bulletproof car would make complete sense. These outskirts are also home to Biotechnica Farms, one of the many around the planet.
