Welcome to Night City
Cyberpunk 2077 is set within Night City, a city between San Francisco and Los Angeles that already exists in the Cyberpunk universe.
Punks once wandered these foggy streets, but Cyberpunk 2077 will show us what happened to the city in the aftermath of the war.
Thanks to the inclusion of some new technology, Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City feels alive and bustling with crowds, however, it’s unclear how dynamic this world really is.

The city will be absolutely massive. It features six districts that seamlessly blend into each other without any loading screens. The driving aspect of the game also looked brand new, and although we’re not sure if there will be the depth of simulation you’ve grown to expect in RPGs like Grand Theft Auto V, it did look smooth.
In an interview with VG24/7 at E3 2019, CDP’s leading Quest Designer Pawel Sasko answered some questions regarding the districts outside the city:
“Players can leave Night City and just explore that area – an area that is mostly sort of destroyed”, following all of the wars, droughts, and famines that fill in the 50 years between Cyberpunk 2020 and 2077.
