Latest News About Cyberpunk 2077 Night City 2045

Here’s the latest on Cyberpunk 2077: Night City 2045 as of April 2026.

Answer in brief

• Night City 2045 is a prequel sourcebook for Cyberpunk RED that explores Night City about 30 years before Cyberpunk 2077. It was officially announced and has been driving pre-orders and detailed previews, with a June 2026 release window for the core book.

Key details

• What it is: A comprehensive 312-page sourcebook about Night City in the Time of the Red, aiming to provide a city-wide history, district-by-district coverage, and numerous locations and factions to support gameplay and world-building in Cyberpunk RED settings [source announcements and coverage in April 2026]().[5][6]
• Scope: The book covers all 24 districts, more than 600 specific sites, and includes hundreds of stat blocks for NPCs and factions, designed to function as a “city bible” for game masters and players.[6][5]
• Timeline and setting: Set after the Fourth Corporate War, roughly three decades before the events of Cyberpunk 2077, to illuminate Night City’s underpinnings and power structures prior to V’s story.[6]
• Format and content: Includes maps, district-by-district writeups, faction details (e.g., gangs, criminal organizations, security providers), and a large catalog of locations and notable sites, intended to deliver a deep, map-rich prequel experience for tabletop play in Cyberpunk RED.[5][6]
• Relationship to video game: This is a tabletop prequel published alongside ongoing or upcoming video game developments in the Cyberpunk franchise (the core video game projects continue to be developed separately, with Project Orion as a separate line of inquiry). The Night City 2045 project is positioned as the definitive tabletop explainer of Night City’s history in the 2045 era, ahead of the 2077-era narrative in the game.[3][6]

What to expect next

• Release timing: The core Night City 2045 sourcebook is positioned for June 2026, with pre-orders active as of April 2026. Expect digital PDFs ahead of the physical book, followed by print shipments in mid-2026.[3][5]
• Additional support: Given the scope, expect further accessories (maps, stat blocks, perhaps encounter tables) and potential cross-promo with video game timelines, though the primary product remains the Night City 2045 sourcebook for Cyberpunk RED.[5][6]

Quick take for fans

• If you’re into Night City lore, this is a significant deep-dive into the city’s pre-2077 era, offering granular district histories, faction rosters, and a wealth of locations for campaign planning or “historical” world-building within Cyberpunk RED.[6][5]
