Who knew back then that he’d be back for an encore performance? That cesspit got flattened about fifty years before the events of the game, by a tactical nuke that was dropped into Arasaka Corporation’s HQ by Johnny Silverhand, instantly cementing the rocker boy’s place in history.

The world Cyberpunk 2077 inhabits is set in Night City, a dark, crime-ridden metropolis that’s almost as towering as it is sprawled into the surrounding badlands. With Cyberpunk 2077 now a couple of months after release, and multiple hotfixes and other tweaks, how is the state of Night City today?

While we’ve been enjoying our time in Night City, that crunch-filled, rushed development hell could have been better served by keeping the game on ice for a while longer, letting both the developers and the quality control team have more time to polish the game. In a balancing act to keep stockholders and fans happy, CDPR rushed through the last few months of development, and it shows.

Cyberpunk 2077 had been in development for almost a decade before we got a solid release date, and even then the release was delayed multiple times.
