CMON Posts Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City Design Diary #1

CMON’s been working on this one for a bit. They’ve got a board game coming out that’s set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. It’s called Gangs of Night City and you can get your first look at it in this Design Diary entry.

Dear Diary:

Hi! Welcome to the 1st Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City Design Diary! We’re Andrea Chiarvesio and Francesco Rugerfred Sedda! Together with Eric M. Lang, Alexio Schneeberger, the four of us are the game designers behind the Cyberpunk 2077 board game. Today, we wanted to give you some insight into the design behind the game. We figured that the best place to start would be… well… at the beginning.

When we were originally pitching CD PROJEKT RED the possibility of creating the official Cyberpunk 2077 board game, the first question we asked ourselves was, “What specifically are we adapting?” The video game portrays a vibrant cyberpunk world with a story experienced by a single Main Character. However, board games rarely have a single main character, as every player should be their own protagonist who applies agency in the game in their own way.
