CDPR shares a glimpse of the "bad neighbourhood" of Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City – TrueAchievements

As November draws nearer, CD Projekt Red continues to share glimpses of the world of Cyberpunk 2077. It's now shared new details on Watson, the "bad neighbourhood of Night City", the braindance technician character shown during the Night City Wire gameplay, and images of how protagonist V might look in each of the three life paths open to players: Nomad, Street Kid, and Corporate.First up, there's artwork showing different glimpses of Watson, "the bad neighbourhood of Night City", devastated by economic disaster and home to the Maelstrom and Tyger Claws gangs. We know there will be seven districts in the game: six within Night City itself, with the seventh being The Badlands, the area surrounding the city. The devs discussed The Badlands during CDPR's Night City Wire as a sort of extra district: a "dead, dried-out space" inhabited by nomads. We've heard, too, about Pacifica: like Watson, the area was meant for tourists but fell to ruin once its investors decided to take their funding elsewhere, and, like Watson, the area is now dominated by gangs. When the Cyberpunk 2077 art book was revealed back in 2019, it seemed to hint at the game's map, showing glimpses of other districts such as Santo Domingo, Westbrook, and the city centre. Yet this is the first proper look we've had at the Watson district: an area with the bright neon colours and skyscrapers meant for its wealthier days now contrasted with its present condition. These are artwork images, and we haven't yet seen the game's map in full, so it's still possible that Watson and the rest of the map could look very different when the game releases. Still, it's interesting to get our first look into one part of Night City.Most recently, CDPR shared details about Judy Alvarez, "Night City's premier braindance technician." We saw Alvarez during the Night City Wire gameplay, as she talked V through the braindance procedure and how to use it. She is "heavily respected for her skills, innovation and creativity. Motivated to change things for the better she teamed with The Mox and currently works for them as a BD technician and editor." From the gameplay footage, it seems V will be working with her too. It also looks as though braindance will feature heavily in the game, perhaps as another way for V to earn money. Lastly, CDPR shared some images of V outfitted as the Street Kid. Nomad, Street Kid, and Corporate are the three life paths available to choose from at the start of the game. The descriptions of each class aren't new, but the images definitely are, and CDPR also tweeted accompanying pics of V as the Nomad and Corporate life paths. If you'd like to read more about these life paths, or about the game's story, world, and side content, check out our Cyberpunk 2077 roundup for more.

Cyberpunk 2077 launches on November 19th.
