Cyberpunk 2077 - EVERY New Gameplay Detail You Need To Know

5. "Shards" - The Key To Night City's Hidden Lore

Elder Scrolls has its books and various pieces of scripture you can pick up to learn about the authors and historians that mapped out the lore of Tamriel, and Cyberpunk will have "Shards".

The name given to collectibles that tell non-fictional stories or in-world history, these will be key to understanding how the present day version of Night City came to be. The history of Johnny Silverhand, the various factional disputes between the boroughs and everything in between - these seem to be Cyberpunk's main form of collectible.
