    Night City is somewhere between Los Angeles and San Francisco

    Situated along the **Pacific Coast** of California, between Los Angeles and San Francisco (near Morro Bay in the original lore).

    **Founding:** Built in the 1990s by **Richard Night**, a visionary entrepreneur who wanted to create a corporate utopia. However, after his assassination, the city fell into chaos and became a dystopian megacity ruled by corporations, gangs, and crime.

    According to the lore it is supposed to be the Morro Bay area I believe.

    Think the game is set on a real plot of land, morro bay I believe which isn’t the furthest from these locations.

    Entirely reliant upon a Canadian friend who visited for this. Not a city thanks to zoning, lack of amenities/demand and other bullshit despite the region being a relatively decent chunk of land near to a rail line, just a suburban luxury bungalow sprawl and plethora of retirement moneysink boats cycling in and out.

    Kind of neat

    Night City is further north from LA, and IIRC LA in the Cyberpunk universe is plagued by very hazardous weather (acidic and poisonous air) and water is a very scarce resource down there

    There’s a reason that the classic rock station with Maximum Mike as the DJ that plays mostly Samurai songs is called “Morro Rock Radio.”

    The real life equivalent is the Morro Bay/Baywood/Los Osos area, which sits on pretty much the exact midpoint between LA and SF. The drive to either city is just under 4 hours from there. The land is more just inspired by the real area rather than a carbon copy, but the vibe is there if you take out the big peninsula in the bay.

    It’s actually kind of surprising to me that the area IRL isn’t more populous than it is. The area has about 25k people. It’s actually kind of the perfect setting for a cyberpunk metropolis that’s still small enough to be a game map.

    Night City is in Morro Bay.

    Albeit a *heavily* alterted Morro Bay after decades of unregulated corporate abuse, nuclear detonations, and a bunch of wars.

    They turned Morro Rock into the spaceport.

    I’m not gon lie to y’all, first time I realized NC stood for Night City and not North Carolina where I live😐

    My dad thought Night City was LA when we watched Edgerunners.

    Not related to night city specifically, but I love morro bay. Its a beautiful part of California, just off PCH which is itself a beautiful drive albeit incredibly long and less direct if youre going north/south. Its a nice medium sized beach city, you can park right next to the rock. It is, and I cannot emphasize this enough, a *very* big rock. I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit it, but I would encourage anyone who happens to find themselves in that part of california to check it out.

    Morro Rock Radio didn’t give a hint about Morro Bay?

    I feel like somewhere on the West Coast was a city that never materialized. Maybe Night City is an exploration of that concept.

    This is a map of California. Night City is in Morrow Bay, which as you can see is south of SF and north of LA, smack in the middle just southwest of Fresno and northwest of Bakersfield (which are both Badlands armpits in reality, sorry not sorry.) Night City is actually a small touristy town on a gorgeous bay on the Pacific with a big ass rock sticking out of it in reality.

    Also, you can see Sacramento on the map, which is where I am. Panam mentions driving up I-80 to Sacramento, but 80 actually terminates in SF so she couldn’t have taken that route from Night City itself. She would have had to go north on Hwy 1 to take 80 to Sacramento, which is a very twisty route right along the coast, or she could have taken 41 to 5, but then she would have taken that north and missed 80 altogether. This has nothing to do with what you asked, but now you have a bit of trivia to ‘well akshually’ your friends with.

    Nope, NC is its own city. In fact, LA is WORSE than Night City. Both in terms of criminal violence and environmental pollution.

  30. DoggoLover42

    It’s a techno-future city built near LA north of LA county. It isn’t a stand-in for any one city, although it pulls from local culture/terrain

    Thank you all for clarifying, guess i need to fresh up on lore.
