🌟 WHY NIGHT CITY IS LEGENDARY?

  • Night City doesn’t care about heroes. It chews you up, uploads your memories, and sells them back as legends 📀

  • Every street tells a story, Every NPC leaves a mark and every choice decides how your legend ends.

  • In Night City, it’s not about living forever…It’s about becoming unforgettable

Nobody ever leaves Night City. Except in a body bag Overview
  • Night City is considered a modern multicultural metropolis of the 21st-century, overrun by corporations, corruption, organized crime and gang violence.

  • Night City has wide streets and dense urban skyscrapers which are home to millions of residents. By 2077, it operates as a city-state, officially owning the title of Free City, with the Arasaka Corporation keeping a heavy influence over it.

  • The metropolis is considered a thrilling and exciting location to visit, as well as an interesting and vibrant place to live for those of means, and a hellscape to the city's disenfranchised. Its world famous slogan is "The City of Dreams," originally changed from "City on the Edge of Tomorrow."

History
The City of Dreams was founded in the 1990s by visionary industrialist Richard Night. When the world of late 20th century plunged into chaos, Night envisioned a modern metropolis free from crime, poverty and corruption. Corporate partners Arasaka, EBM, and Petrochem helped him realize this vision, investing in the foundation of what would become the Free City of Night City. The city would develop into a haven for young idealists and a beacon for others who sought to fulfill their own dreams.

Night City has it all: from the monumental skyscrapers of industry-leading megacorporations, to the luxury villas of world-renowned stars, to the lawless neighborhoods where war is waged every day. You will stumble across mercenaries, gangs and famous rockers, but also junkies, bums and even cyberpsychos. You will stand in the shadows of colossal megabuildings and get lost in the maze of streets, alleys and markets. You will make your dreams come true or die trying.
