10 Terrifying Secrets In Open World Games

Given that Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in a dystopian future where shady corporations vie for power and violent gangs rule the streets, it should come as no surprise that some of the hidden secrets that are scattered throughout Night City serve as a reflection on the grimness of this game's setting.

One of the most disturbing additions can be found in the Badlands south of Pacifica.

Just northeast of the Fuel Station fast travel point, players can spot two satellite dishes in the wasteland. Head there and they’ll discover the grizzly sight of numerous corpses lying on the ground that are wired to a dead netrunner. As horrifying as this sight is, things only get worse when uncovering a data shard on the deceased hacker's body.

Reading this note reveals that these people belonged to a cult known as The Children Of The Ark, with this location being their headquarters. Believing that a rogue AI will escape from beyond Blackwall and bring about the end of humanity, the cultists killed themselves so that they could upload their consciousness to a spaceship to escape this supposed Judgement Day.

There's a lot of unpleasantness in Night City, but nothing is quite as shocking as this discovery.
