One quote in particular sums it up: &ldquo;In a way, Night City&nbsp;<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the star of Cyberpunk.&rdquo; If that&rsquo;s the case, we better sink our teeth in and understand the star of the show a little better.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Night City&#8217;s Districts Guide<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The basics<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Night City is a city on the coast of California in the not so distant future of 2077. That means it comes with all the things one would expect from a U.S. east coast city: a massive industrial port to facilitate the trade so many of those cities rely on, hot, dry weather and the terrain to match, and of course a sprawling mishmash of cultures and styles blended together in the form of various districts. Six of them, to be exact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/k6d2MmCo2_29P8LWrf2kFuirQBamxZMe-nsCh5-fbwc\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly9saDMuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tL0VNVTIxa1hDOU5iTFZuMUd5aTY0UHhqcXNiRGl3VDUtNndmTWlLWk9wak9OY3pKbmEwWUQ2VWQyYjZDS0l0M3ZlVEU4c1hjc0xxM0pVLVpEZ0xlSzg3cmxCamFYRFRrZjk3VjV4QndtZUltMDBRZFlqbmpiVXZvdmZ4R0FQdVdQQkU4ampkd24\" alt=\"Cyberpunk city\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(Photo: CD Projekt Red)<\/span><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Before we dig too deep into all the distinct districts in the game though, let&rsquo;s keep an eye on the bigger picture. The city is massively dense (no surprise there), but it will change the way you explore compared to say, The Witcher 3, CD Projekt RED&rsquo;s previous flagship game. Where in Witcher, one of CDPR&rsquo;s Senior Level Designers, Miles Tost, explained, you might set your eyes on a distant castle and just&hellip; go there, that simply isn&rsquo;t possible in Cyberpunk.<\/p>\n<p>In short, it&rsquo;s too dense, and more importantly, too vertical. Buildings aren&rsquo;t buildings, they&rsquo;re super-structures made of multiple buildings all built on top of one another, and the ground around any given one is a warren of back alleys and hidden passages.<\/p>\n<p>Tost explained that players should expect exploration to feel more &ldquo;intimate&rdquo; than previous games, with any alley you head into as likely to hold violent gangers as it is an unobtrusive elevator that turns out to be a short-cut. Getting from A to B is half the fun, especially if it involves winding through C to Z.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/NC1vl51w_vW3nvCDUkg_XWPJhcYQ6zbsY-Do7pX_fyA\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly9saDYuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tL3hWS0thX1hHQWVxdDVka2NacFQyTDZucHQtcUJENXpxZDFYV0ZGb2dTU0pYNW9qcUdZZzh5TUE2U0xGbjA4Y0d2bjZKeDduRk1JejNEcTlla1NXekxicDRSMV9lQ1ZPTW1SeE5tT19WRWFfV19VQ29QRmx2UHBQZEcyQU85bWFmZGNDX0FJV3c\" alt=\"Cyberpunk 2077 release date\" width=\"600\" height=\"252\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(Photo: CD Projekt Red)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The flipside of that, is it could very quickly become overwhelming. That&rsquo;s where the level designers come in. No matter where you end up lost, you should have some clue about&nbsp;<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">where<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;in the city you are by how distinct the city districts (and their many subdivisions) are. Warren of back alley shops and giant floating carp digitally appearing in the air? You&rsquo;re probably in Kabuki, a subdistrict of Watson.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/video-games\/cyberpunk-2077-minimum-and-recommended-specs-have-been-confirmed\">Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements and file size revealed<\/a>&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Furthermore, the level designers have gone to the lengths of&nbsp;<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">naming every street in Night City<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. You want directions from NPCs or online forums, you&rsquo;ll find &lsquo;em quick enough. It&rsquo;s those little touches that are set to make Night City live and breathe. Nevermind street names, Tost said, all the&nbsp;<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">trash<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;is hand placed on those streets for exactly that purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With the basics covered, let&rsquo;s start talking districts&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The City Center<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&ldquo;Gargantuan skyscrapers that shade an endless tangle of streets. A neon glow that sets the stage for a ballet of flesh and steel&hellip;This is Night City&rsquo;s core, its heart, its dream turned reality.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The quintessential Cyberpunk district. Vast skyscrapers? Check. Neon light-shows? Check. The City Center is one part Canary Wharf come Wall Street, one part exclusive nightlife destination for the rich and famous. It&rsquo;s Corporate central, if you choose that as V&rsquo;s origin, and home to the likes of Corpo Plaza and the ever glitzy Downtown. Night City Love also recommends 7th Hell (Final Fantasy VII sends its regards), a bar for those looking to indulge in a little rebel-chic atmosphere and some custom cocktails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">That said, while the district is safer than some of the others, it wouldn&rsquo;t be Cyberpunk if there weren&rsquo;t threats hidden just out of sight. Muggers and gangs are still working out of Downtown&rsquo;s back streets, and those Corpo guards tend to find themselves above the law more often than not&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/IvJN8Vj5vtSw0_6FmdVG03MCShXe8lkzRRSlVtNwaZE\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly9saDUuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tLzQydTQtS1ZoSXZOcVlKcDlmUzZwa1lZcTFnUjRpSUlnYTJnUGtDbmlnMlhPU1dvY3BOVXdDOVE1RWgxeHlOdTNVY3RjRlJVQ3lQcmNRN0tnaF9OaTJzTWV6a2drYjYzb3JxbUpvMXp3SDVOaXgtYXJldUt5LWZxbFVZcDlqckRDdmpkSDRLMFE\" alt=\"Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(Photo: CD Projekt Red)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Watson<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&ldquo;When nuclear disaster struck Night City&rsquo;s center in 2023, the nearby town of Watson became the ark to which the city&rsquo;s battered but not broken populace fled for shelter. By the 2050s, however, Watson&rsquo;s role had changed from nucleus back to periphery.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A former competitor to the likes of the Arasaka Megacorp, Watson is a shell of its former glory, sucked dry by a ruthless Arasaka in the wake of the Unification War. Now, with its Japanese investors forced out, and it&rsquo;s formerly prosperous factories and med-center sitting silent, it is the poorest district in Night City outside of Pacifica.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Outside of the Northern Industrial District, it also contains the likes of Kabuki &#8211; a warren of back alley bazaars and hawkers, in the style of the real-life district found in Tokyo. Its Japanese origins are apparent (influenced by its former investors), with the nightlife to match its namesake, alongside being home to pretty much everything you could ever want on or off the black market&hellip; with all the complications that entails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It isn&rsquo;t the safest place either: The Tyger Claws, The Moxes, and The Maelstrom all get involved in turf wars across the district.

It boasts a broad variety of shops and restaurants, from the bougie boutiques and seafood saloons along the coast to the colorful open-air markets and taco stands of Vista del Rey&hellip;Despite rumors spread by the perpetually malcontent, it was not constructed on radioactive landfill.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The biggest residential district in all of Night City, Heywood moves from chic, modern skyscrapers and parks owned by Corpos and the well-to-do in the north, to the gang-infested slums of Vista Del Rey in the south. The south end&rsquo;s gang problems come in two forms: the drug-running Valentinos, who face off against 6th Street, and their self-serving brand of vigilante justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Interestingly, this is also the one part of the city with a government presence, the rest now being Corpo run. That means you&rsquo;ll find a fairly hefty police presence (in the north side) and City Hall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And hey, those rumours of radioactive waste don&rsquo;t have any truth to them&hellip; right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/W9HmjZSxxDVg4mvjBnREtezJhhD2gw350Q0wI95NcJI\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly9saDUuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tL1F0NGJITXpNTU1mMlVRendnYzJjSHpNZHRINmp0UWFfQTVDXzFWUHV4VmVOcGg4VkFnLW9mNEtSd19yM1JJb0RBdl9WZENwazg5QlozaDFtS0lJdWR0X081S1RLbExFb19GRWxxbDNnZUJGZmFSZmhqZ3AzOXVJWndtNXZwYjNTZUdyQ0V4VjI\" alt=\"heywood cyberpunk\" width=\"602\" height=\"339\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">(Photo: CD Projekt Red)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Westbrook<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&ldquo;&#8230;a mere bridge away from the best career prospects in the city, Westbrook is the desired place of domicile for both the up-and-coming (in Charter Hill) and the already-arrived (in North Oak).&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The&nbsp;<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">place to live and have fun in Night City, Westbrook is home to the truly elite in North Oak, and those that wished they were, in the matchbox housing of Charter Hill. If North Oak is an idyllic, Beverly Hills analogue of the rich and famous, then Charter Hill is for the ambitious and not quite-made-its. Mass housing and armoured cars for security are the word in Charter Hill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As for the fun, Japantown is home to the city&rsquo;s sizable Japanese diaspora and the most exclusive nightlife in Night City. Don&rsquo;t have enough money for the braindance clubs, gaming parlours and myriad of food stands? Then go grab a loan and hope it&rsquo;ll last the night. Japantown is also run by the Yakuza-like Tyger Claws, even if they keep a low profile by day. Keep your wits and wallets about you and you&rsquo;ll come out on top.

Yet in Rancho Coronado, its bedroom community, white picket fences and immaculate green lawns surround spacious homes in an endless, breathtaking vista.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Half Industrial wasteland and megabuildings, half working class suburbia, Santo Domingo is its own insular community of life and work. It&rsquo;s a mix of industrial foundries and megabuildings alongside and rows of identical houses, reminiscent of traditional American homes of the early 20th century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To make things even more interesting, 6th Street, a gang formed of disenfranchised military and security veterans, make their home here. They allegedly perform the role of &ldquo;neighbourhood watch,&rdquo; but get their hands dirty in armed robbery, protection rackets and car jacking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/EWxo3wQa4FGpFIhoz5M9cgSYZFOrP1-Hl_Eh_T0x2zs\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly9saDYuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29tL1BuT20xVXYxcEZCemtMazdwMFRRZ0Z0ZjU4dkxuSjhRWmt6WENmZHFsZ1RPaFpHbng2UnJGREx1Z1AtNHJoNUd0X25VWFEtdmNwdUlPX2xlMG14WUo0OUVCVnM3WmpFSDV5WldyNlZqTVdJZTZoN0ZlV0I3NVRWZEhPLVlQQTVieEprNHQxM2k\" alt=\"cyberpunk pacifica\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pacifica<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&ldquo;What do you see?

Then you, my friend, lack vision.&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Designed as a tourist destination and luxury vacation resort, the economic collapse left the district unfinished, unfunded, and lawless in the extreme. Instead of a beachfront paradise of hotels and entertainment, it is rife with the hulks of concrete buildings left incomplete, rampant poverty, and mass homelessness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">And that&rsquo;s without considering the open gang warfare being waged on the streets.
