In the game, the player will be thrown into this dark future. The metropolis of Night City It is a place created to tell us the story of an individual who grew up on its streets and tries to rise up and find a way to survive among the local mafias and megacorporations, in a city of filth and decay.

Drugs, violence, poverty, and exclusion haven't disappeared in 2077, and people remain much as they were centuries ago: selfish, narrow-minded, and weak. But it's not just the ghosts of the past that haunt humanity; new problems have emerged. Psychopaths are on the rise, and the streets are filled with addicts to a new form of entertainment: Braindance , an inexpensive way to experience the emotions and stimulation of other people who live more exciting lives.
