The Big Apple Got Bit by the Cyberpunk Bug: What Happened to New York?
Ah, New York City. City that never sleeps... or maybe in the grimy future of Cyberpunk 2077, it just never wakes up entirely. We all know Night City is the main stomping ground for V, your favorite chrome-plated merc, but what about the Empire State? Did it get swallowed by a rogue wave of cybernetic cockroaches? Spoiler Alert: Not quite. (Though that would be a sight to see!)
Did New York Become a Cyberpunk Playground Too?
Nope. In the base game of Cyberpunk 2077, forget struttin' down a neon-soaked Fifth Avenue. New York is mysteriously absent. Maybe the developers were too busy crafting the chaotic beauty of Night City, or perhaps the Big Apple just wasn't ready for its cybernetic makeover just yet. Fear not, nostalgia-stricken choom (slang for buddy), there's a glimmer of hope!
Enter the Phantom Liberty DLC: NYC Makes a Glitchy Debut!
Bam! With the recent release of the Phantom Liberty DLC, New York City bursts onto the scene... kind of. Here's the twist: Exploring the concrete jungle isn't exactly straightforward. You gotta be a bit of a digital Houdini, using mods or exploiting glitches to clip through the barriers and snag a peek at the revamped New York. Let's just say, it's a work in progress.
Imagine a post-apocalyptic Times Square, all flickering neon signs and rusted hot dog stands. Think cyber-punks dodging rogue pigeons with jetpacks strapped to their backs. Okay, maybe that last part is a joke (for now). The point is, a glimpse of a cyberpunk New York exists, but it's a hidden gem, like a secret level in a retro video game.
So, Can I Actually Walk the Cyberpunk Streets of New York?
Well, not exactly for leisure strolling. As of now, it's more like a digital Easter egg hunt. But hey, exploratory types can rejoice! With some technical trickery, you can get a taste of the cyberpunk future in the city that never sleeps... even if it's technically still asleep in the game.
