The resultant overcompensation turned the center into a fortified Mordor, where every tool of surveillance and control is employed to keep people in check.According to CD Projekt RED, "Pacifica could've been Night City’s money-making vacation resort, but once the investment dried up it became a husk left to rot. The destruction left behind a lasting sense of fragility on the part of Night City's corporations, a fear that, for all their power, a determined few armed with the right weapons could burn their domain to the ground. Night City's center was obliterated by a nuclear explosion in the 2020s, in what was deemed a terrorist attack by the authorities.
In truth, this pageantry is akin to a TSA checkpoint: a forceful show of security born of deep insecurity. Corporate power makes itself forcefully known, projecting with mind-boggling mass and overwhelming firepower the message that you, the individual, should just give up now. Here we see Neomilitarism in its purest form. Database Entryįrom a distance, downtown Night City resembles a fortress, a Tuscan hill town where thick walls surround a huddled cluster of towers, its architecture designed to keep barbarians and rivals at bay. Despite the elegance and power of Downtown, it isn't as secure as it would seem: turn down the wrong alley and you'll find yourself en-route to sleazy love hotels, dive bars, and shadowy corners where drug deals - and worse - are a common occurrence. Its northern waterfront is a mecca for artists and snobs, with galleries, concert halls and ateliers around every corner. Here you'll find an abundance of office buildings and eccentrically shaped architecture - as well as exclusive apartments, hotels, and restaurants. It's full of narrow alleys, night clubs, celebrities, and corporate stiffs. This is the heart of the district and the home to some of the biggest corporations such as Arasaka, Militech, Biotechnica, Petrochem, and Kang Tao. The Corpo Plaza is reaching for the sky with its brutal corporate skyscrapers and blinding floodlights. This is where the rich and overworked spend their lives, building up the economic power of Night City. įilled with modern, cutting-edge architecture, City Center is where anyone can witness the unrivaled might of megacorporations. By 2077, it was now the most fortified district in all of Night City. Restoration of the district was a lengthy and costly process - it started in the 2030s and ended just recently, when the Arasaka Tower was rebuilt in the 2070s. The once smoldering battlefield of the 4th Corporate War and nuclear fallout from the Arasaka Tower assault, was now completely restored. City Center is the real showcase of Night City.
