The expansive universe of Cyberpunk 2077 is set for a major expansion this summer. On June 17, 2026, the official prequel sourcebook Night City 2045 will launch, offering an unprecedented deep dive into the dystopian metropolis decades before the events of the hit video game. Developed by R. Talsorian Games in partnership with CD Projekt Red, this 312-page volume promises to be the definitive historical guide to the city during its formative “time of the red.”
This comprehensive resource will detail the geography, government, and logistics that define Night City’s brutal ecosystem. It provides a complete historical timeline and breaks down the complex systems of citizenship, law, transportation, and media. The book meticulously catalogs the city’s chaotic social fabric, profiling its 44 distinct gangs, 6 major criminal organizations, and 23 security services. Each of the twenty-four districts receives its own dedicated section, outlining the power dynamics, resident demographics, and current news events that give every neighborhood a unique identity.
Beyond narrative descriptions, Night City 2045 will bring its setting to life with detailed new maps. These visuals will chart over 600 specific locations, from ubiquitous stores and clinics to fortified gang headquarters and imposing corporate towers. For players of the Cyberpunk RED tabletop roleplaying game, the sourcebook is also a practical toolkit. It includes ninety-nine ready-to-use stat blocks for characters ranging from low-level gang members and corporate security to everyday citizens, designed to help Game Masters quickly populate their campaigns.
Physical and digital editions of the book will become available on the release date. Pre-orders for physical copies are currently open through the R. Talsorian Games website, with shipments expected to begin in June. Customers who pre-order the hardcover will receive a 50% discount on the PDF version. The digital edition will also be sold separately on platforms like DriveThruRPG. This release provides both fans of the video game and tabletop enthusiasts with the deepest look yet at the origins of one of gaming’s most iconic settings.
