Latest News About Cyberpunk 2077 Night City 2045

Here’s the latest on Night City 2045 and Cyberpunk 2077 related releases as of mid-2026.

• Night City 2045 announced as a prequel sourcebook for Cyberpunk RED, set about 30 years before Cyberpunk 2077. It covers Night City district by district (24 districts) and details factions, government, and city structure. Releases and pre-orders were active in April 2026, with a launch window in June 2026 for the physical book [source coverage indicates official announcements and pre-order availability].[2][3][4]

• The project is positioned as a comprehensive “monster sourcebook” that aims to flesh out Night City’s history and geography prior to the 2077 timeline, serving as a prequel reference for tabletop players and fans of the Cyberpunk setting.[4][2]

• CD Projekt Red continues to expand the Cyberpunk universe beyond the game, with Night City 2045 being part of a broader strategy that includes developments around a potential sequel (often referred to by fans as Project Orion) and other media updates; news outlets frame Night City 2045 as the official prequel material accompanying ongoing franchise growth.[3][5][7][8]

• Related to 2077, there’s ongoing chatter about future content and a possible next-gen or new entry in the franchise, though Night City 2045 itself is focused on the tabletop setting and the 2045 era rather than a direct video game release; expect further announcements from CDPR and R. Talsorian Games as 2026 progresses.[5][7]

• If you’re after immersive details, these sources emphasize the 24-district breakdown, the key factions (44 gangs, six criminal organizations, 23 security providers), and a district-by-district map of Night City as it stood in 2045, offering a deep dive into the city’s structure before the events of Cyberpunk 2077.[2][3][4]

Illustration of the direction: Night City 2045 is a prequel tabletop reference set in 2045, expanding Night City’s lore before V’s story, with a strong focus on geography, governance, and district-level life.[3][4][2]
