4. The Core Interplay Of Factions

Night City is set to be a living, breathing organism comprised of a great many factions that can either make or break your experience of the neon-clad world. According to CD Projekt Red, these factions found throughout the city are in a constant state of dispute with one another, making their attitude towards you completely dependent on who you've already chosen to work with, or against.

Simply put, this means that you'll actually need to weigh up the pros and cons of siding with a particular faction, with each and every choice having broad consequences that may end up being the reason for your downfall.

So rather than joining whoever may give you the greatest short term benefits, you'll have to think about what this choice may mean for the remainder of your playthrough. Cyberpunk is, after all, all about the long game.

And with around 11 confirmed factions to interact with, ranging from the steroid abusing ‘Animals’ to the cybernetically addicted ‘Maelstrom’, Cyberpunk has ensured that you'll be able to find at least one faction you relate to. But who you decide to work for, or against, is essentially your choice, and yours alone.
