Whilst the world of Cyberpunk 2077 may be vast and full to the brim with narrative opportunities, the setting of Night City did not begin there. Long before CD Projekt RED breathed life into the world courtesy of hit RPG, Cyberpunk 2077, the world of Cyberpunk was already established courtesy of a tabletop role-playing game created by Mike Pondsmith and published by R. Talsorian Games in 1988.

It was here that Night City was first created and a legend was born, but when CDPR decided to choose this world to turn into an award-winning RPG, that was when the magic of the franchise truly came alive.

Fast-forward six years and the love for Cyberpunk 2077 is as strong as ever. Not only was the first game a success, but so too was its first and only DLC, Phantom Liberty. On top of that, there has been an award-winning anime series by Netflix which was swiftly renewed for a second season, but CDPR also revealed that a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel was also in development, although it may be a few years until we get our hands on that one.

It is safe to say that Cyberpunk 2077, or more specifically, Night City captured the hearts and minds of its players and, since then, fans have been searching for ways to return to the dystopian metropolis.

Well, that is now possible thanks to Night City 2045, a city sourcebook inspired by Cyberpunk. Courtesy of R. Talsorian Games comes “a monster sourcebook providing every detail about the definitive Cyberpunk setting.” Consisting of 312 pages, users can expect the following features:

– Information: about the geography, government, and logistics of Night City, including a complete history, information on citizenship and laws, data on transportation, services, utilities, and media.

– Factions: Details on Night City’s street-level factions, including 44 gangs, 6 criminal organizations, and 23 security providers.

– District Breakdown: A district by district breakdown of the Night City of 2045! Twenty-four districts, each with its own unique character. You’ll know who is in charge, who lives there, and what events have happened recently.

Not only that, but there are over 600 locations scattered across Night City which you can learn about in Night City 2045, ranging from stores, clinics, gang headquarters, megabuildings, and much more. Launched back on June 17, Night City 2045 is now available to purchase and shipping starts on June 24.

So, if you want to learn more about the world of Cyberpunk 2077 straight from the very source, then look no further than Night City 2045, which is available right now.
