With a new blog post, CD Projekt RED has provided more details about two of the Cyberpunk 2077 mega corporation that have regional HQs in the territory of Night City, and how they work.
In particular, Arasaka and Militech are the focus now, and they seem both equally shady and interesting, having relationships respectively with Yakuza and military.
“Arasaka specializes in protective services and the distribution of their Japanese-made products throughout North America. Over the years, it has developed a dark reputation as a corporation that is to be feared and one which covers its tracks using cyberassassins, an army of lawyers as well an alleged connection to the yakuza,” says the post.
“Militech, on the other hand, is an arms dealer based out of the eastern US. Working closely with police and military forces, it has substantially contributed to civilian security systems. It’s a powerhouse manufacturer of high-grade military technology — from simple firearms to heavily armored combat vehicles.”
On top of that, CDPR also wanted to remark that Night City is a true melting pot with a lot of different cultures coming together, not only when it comes to illicit business of course.
“Night City is home to many shops, restaurants, and decor that draw inspiration from Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and Indian culture, among others. These include Kiroshi Optics, Kabayan Foods, Fuyutsuki Electronics, and Masala Studios as well as maneki-neko figurines and tengu imagery that enrich the world.”
