Cyberpunk 2077's sequel will see you return to Night City, and head to a new city described as "Chicago gone wrong"

So says Mike Pondsmith himself

CD Projekt Red's sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 is mostly a spot of a mystery, and it apt volition beryllium for a portion yet fixed that they're presently afloat steam up connected The Witcher 4. We cognize Anna Megill, who worked connected Control and the upcoming Fable game, is attached arsenic pb writer, and that the squad wants to woody with immoderate large topics, but there's been thing similar crippled details shared truthful far. At the precise least, Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith shared immoderate tidbits astir it astatine Digital Dragons, namely to bash with the game's map.

Pondsmith explained that with the sequel, he's "not arsenic progressive directly," but helium does get to look astatine the scripts of the game. "Last week I was wandering astir talking to antithetic departments, and seeing what they had, ‘Oh look, this is the caller cyberware, what bash you think?’ ‘Oh yeah, that’s beauteous good, that works here.’"

In presumption of things helium shared astir the crippled itself, Pondsmith explained that helium "spent a batch of clip talking to 1 of the situation guys, and helium was explaining however the caller place… due to the fact that there’s different metropolis that we visit, and I’m not telling you anymore than that, but there’s different metropolis that we visit. Night City is inactive there." He went connected to say, "I retrieve looking astatine it and going, ‘I recognize the consciousness that you’re going for, and this truly does work, it doesn’t consciousness similar Blade Runner, it feels much similar Chicago gone wrong’. And I said, ‘yeah, I tin spot this working’."

I'm going to presume that helium astir apt isn't adjacent meant to accidental arsenic overmuch arsenic he's said here, but he's besides the literal creator of the satellite of Cyberpunk, I deliberation we tin chopped him immoderate slack.

Based connected Pondsmith's comments, we'll beryllium capable to roam astir Night City erstwhile much alongside this new, Chicago-like city. Smart thinking, honestly. I cognize radical complained astir however Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom conscionable utilized the aforesaid representation again, but if you inquire maine it expanded and changed it successful immoderate beauteous absorbing ways.

The Yakuza bid repeatedly utilized the aforesaid locations too, not lone moving good arsenic plus flips, but arsenic a communicative instrumentality too. I don't adjacent similar Cyberpunk 2077 each that much, but I'd inactive beryllium funny to spot however Night City changes betwixt games. I'm definite we'll get immoderate thought of what the RPG volition beryllium similar in, hmm, astatine slightest 7 years? Yeah, that sounds astir right.
