Cyberpunk 2077 Prequel “Night City 2045” to Arrive This Year
A new tabletop release will expand the Cyberpunk universe this year. Night City 2045 is a city sourcebook for the Cyberpunk RED tabletop RPG.
Context and release
Cyberpunk RED launched in 2020 as a tabletop spin-off of the video game series. It is set in 2045 and explores the aftermath of the Fourth Corporate War, roughly thirty years before Cyberpunk 2077.
The Night City 2045 book is a 312-page city guide. Talsorian Games will release the physical edition on 24 June, with a PDF available for immediate download. The retail price is $30, or £46 in the UK.
What the book covers
The sourcebook offers a full picture of Night City three decades before the events of 2077. It covers civic structures, logistics, and the city’s modern history.
- Geography, government and city logistics.
- Details on citizenship, laws, transport, services and utilities.
- Media landscape and recent events shaping the city.
Factions, districts and locations
Night City 2045 breaks the metropolis into 24 distinct districts. Each entry explains who lives there and who holds power.
- 44 gangs catalogued at street level.
- Six criminal organisations and 23 security providers.
- More than 600 locations, including clinics, stores, gang bases, corporate fortresses and megabuildings.
Tools for game masters
The book includes 99 stat blocks. These cover enemies and non-player characters, from gang mooks to corporate security.
Maps accompany locations to help gamemasters stage encounters. The material supports both new and experienced Cyberpunk RED groups.
How it fits into the wider franchise
This release functions as a Cyberpunk 2077 prequel in tabletop form. It gives fans a deeper look at Night City well before the events depicted in 2077.
Night City 2045 differs from the earlier Night City sourcebook. The new volume addresses the entire metropolis, not just the downtown core.
Fans can pre-order now through Talsorian Games or purchase the PDF immediately. For coverage and updates, visit Filmogaz.com.
