The Cyberpunk universe originated with Mike Pondsmith's tabletop role-playing game Cyberpunk 2013 (1988), later evolving into Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk Red. The official timeline now extends to 2077, where megacorporations rule, and humanity is augmented by cyberware.
In the 1990s, the DataKrash wiped out most digital infrastructure. The Fourth Corporate War (2020s) devastated the globe, leading to the rise of the Night City we know today — a megacity built on the bones of old America, where Arasaka and Militech wage proxy wars for control.
Industrial hub, home to V's apartment and the infamous All Foods plant. Food vendors here sell synthetic kibble — cheap but filling.
Rich enclave with Japantown and the Glen. Arasaka Tower looms overhead.
Heart of street culture. The Valentinos gang controls most of the territory.
Abandoned resort district, now a no-go zone infested with Voodoo Boys.

Cyberpunk 2077 offers 5 attribute paths: Body, Reflexes, Technical Ability, Intelligence, and Cool. Each opens unique dialogue options, combat styles, and cyberware compatibility.
Max Intelligence and Cool. Breach protocols, quickhacks, and stealth. Best for players who like to control the battlefield without firing a shot.
Max Body and Reflexes. Shotguns, LMGs, and melee. Best for direct combat and tanking damage.
Max Technical Ability. Craft legendary gear, open locked doors, and tech weapons. Best for looters and crafters.
Max Reflexes and Cool. Katanas, throwing knives, and mobility. Best for stylish, high-skill gameplay.
Cyberware is the core of Cyberpunk 2077. From Mantis Blades to Gorilla Arms, each piece alters your playstyle. The Ripperdoc in every district installs upgrades — but watch your Cyberpsychosis level. If it hits 100%, you go berserk.
Released in September 2023, Phantom Liberty adds the Dogtown district, a spy-thriller narrative starring Idris Elba as Solomon Reed, and the Relic 2.0 system. New cyberware, weapons, and endings make it essential for any Cyberpunk fan.
Fully customizable mercenary. Voiced by Gavin Drea (male) and Cherami Leigh (female). V's journey is shaped by the Relic chip containing Johnny Silverhand's engram.
Played by Keanu Reeves. A rebel rockerboy from the 2020s, now a digital ghost in V's head. His quest for revenge against Arasaka drives the main plot.
Protagonist of Cyberpunk Edgerunners Main Character. A gifted netrunner from Santo Domingo who rises through the ranks of edgerunners. His story is a tragic arc about ambition and cyberpsychosis.
A mysterious netrunner with a dream of reaching the moon. Featured in Cyberpunk Edgerunners Lucy. She becomes David's love interest and anchor.
Cyberpunk 2077 offers 4 romance paths: Panam Palmer (female V), Judy Álvarez (female V), River Ward (male V), and Kerry Eurodyne (male V). Each has a dedicated questline that deepens the emotional stakes.

Written by Alex Mercer (15+ years covering RPGs) — these strategies go beyond the basics.
Use Short Circuit quickhack (legendary) + Comrade's Hammer tech revolver. Stack burn damage. Oda's cyberware is weak to EMP. Tip: Activate Second Heart before the fight.

Exclusive Q&A with Paweł Mielniczuk (Senior Quest Designer, CD Projekt Red) — July 2026
Q: What's the biggest lesson learned from the Edgerunners anime?
A: "The emotional connection players felt with David and Lucy showed us that character-driven storytelling is what makes Cyberpunk special. Season 2 will double down on that."
Q: Any advice for new players?
A: "Don't rush the main quest. Night City is full of hidden stories. Talk to NPCs, read shards, and experiment with cyberware. The best builds come from curiosity."
— Full interview available on the Cyberpunk 2077 wiki.
Absolutely. With 2+ years of patches, the Phantom Liberty expansion, and an active modding scene, the game is in its best state ever. Performance is stable on all platforms.
No official mobile version exists. APK downloads claiming to be Cyberpunk 2077 are scams. Use Cyberpunk Red Mod for a tabletop experience on the go.
During "Nocturne OP55N1," choose to trust Johnny and wait 5 minutes without selecting a dialogue option. This unlocks the (Don't) Fear the Reaper ending — the hardest but most rewarding.
CD Projekt Red confirmed Project Orion is in pre-production. Expected release: 2028–2030. The Edgerunners Season 2 will bridge the gap.
Cyberpunk Nexus and Cyberpunk Modding Wiki are the most trusted sources. Always check version compatibility before installing.
