Cyberpunk 2077 and Japan’s Cyberpunk Culture

Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most anticipated video games of all time.

Set in the futuristic megalopolis of ‘Night City’ (on the Californian coast), the first-person action-adventure game was first announced in 2012 — and after nearly a decade of build-up — set to be released on 16 April 2020. It was delayed until 17 September, then 19 November, and finally released on 10 December 2020. In the ten days following, it sold a staggering 13 million copies.
