The dust has begun to settle on Night City, now that we've passed the brunt of the fallout from Cyberpunk 2077’s launch. The novelty of experiencing “Glitch City” may have worn off, but urban explorers are still discovering the highs and lows of the game’s expanse.
One such high comes from Redditor Spunky Monkey, who scaled Arasaka Tower - Night City’s tallest skyscraper - to capture a stunning view. Since the game’s launch, people have been running wild in the city, even turning it into their own parkour simulator. This urban explorer is no different, seeking to expose the boundaries of the game itself and what splendors await on the edge - literally.
The minute-long clip shared on the Cyberpunk subreddit showed a 360 view of the city below, picking up all of the qualities that make Night City a blend of futuristic technology and dusty suburbs. If you don’t suffer from vertigo, then the view is a rare sight to see. A sea of skyscrapers, digital ads, and industrial cranes linked together to form the Cyberpunk world we know. The horizon is lined with rippling hills and open waters. It might even be possible to see the Santo Domingo district in the distance, filled with smog from its industrial nature. At one point, the user briefly uses the telescopic sight on their rifle for a closer look at certain areas, ending the clip by falling to their death.
If you want to conquer Arasaka Tower yourself, then you will have to do so under mission restrictions. The only known way to access the rooftop is during a mission, which doesn’t give you long to settle down and admire the view. Luckily, mods for Cyberpunk 2077 are being developed all the time and there will no doubt be a free reign mod for urban explorers very soon.
While existing fans of the game are enjoying themselves with exploration, the action-adventure doesn't seem to be acquiring many new fans. Cyberpunk 2077’s sales are dwindling and it looks like digital copies will not surpass 500,000 units for the March quarter. The game’s Patch 1.2 also got unexpectedly delayed last month - when CD Projekt Red fell victim to a cyber attack - but it is scheduled to release by the end of March.
