Following a socio-economical collapse, the US government enacts a period of martial law,
and is forced to obtain the help of numerous megacorporations in order to maintain stability
in Night City.
Cyberpunk's cold dark setting.
This resulted in these megacorporations holding a ridiculous level of power, not only over
their employees, but society in general.
Cyberpunk 2077 is an upcoming RPG based on Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk role-playing game,
developed by the same studio behind The Witcher franchise, CD Projekt RED.
Announced in 2012, we still haven't heard any concrete news about a possible release
date, though many speculate that the title '2077' gives us a hint.
All joking aside, Cyberpunk is likely slated to release any time inbetween this year, 2017,
and 2021.
That's a pretty large window, but I'd rather see a complete game at launch, rather than
a broken mess.
So I'd say, CDPR, take your time.
But in the meantime, let's take a look at one of the core elements of Mike Pondsmith's
Cyberpunk, the megacorporations. And if any of you didn't know, Mike Pondsmith is the creator of Cyberpunk, and he's actually working very closely with CDPR to make this game.
As a result of the social collapse of Night City, the US government was forced to rely
on a number of megacorporations, including arms manufacturers, private military compaines,
even news outlets, in order to survive the collapse.
The outcome of this, was the US government giving these megacorporations the ability
to speak for the United States as a diplomat, while the government restablishes control
over the collapse.
In Night City itself, the city council is run by a number of representatives from local corporations
As a result of this, these corporations were given the ability to repeal a number of laws
that were previously enforced upon them.
For example, anti-trust laws, worker and consumer protection, as well as environmental protection
laws were repealed immediately.
This gave these corporations all of the power they could ever want over the stock market,
as well as job market.
Most of these corporations demonstrated their level of power by employing their own personal
armies, referred to as corporate security.
Because of this, competition between corporations has boiled over into legitimate armed conflicts,
on the same scale as a national conflict.
These conflicts are known as 'Corp Wars', and regularly result in industrial complexes
and neighbourhoods being blown into smitherines, further pushing society into destablization.
Although not much is written about these corps, let's take a look at our first megacorporation:
Arasaka - An industrial and financial powerhouse, focused on corporate security and police,
located in Tokyo, Japan.
The company's size and influence gives it an important role in transforming Japan into
a global superpower, which is exactly what it plans to do.
Biotechnica - An Italian company, headquarters situated in Rome, known for genetic engineering
and exploiting biological processes for industrial use.
The corporation is also a big player in the pharmacology and cybernetics scene.
Making them a likely suspect in the dehumanization of society.
Cyphire Cyberware - A smaller corporation that specializes in cybernetic enhancements,
such as vocal aid and physical enhancements.
Dakai Soundsystems - An Asian company working in cybernetic enhancements, primarily vocal
aid, including vocal enhancers and scramblers, as well as the more traditional communications
and audio technology, like computer and telephone networking.
They regulary join forces with Cyphire Cyberware to produce a variety of vocal enhancers for
those with cyber technology integrated into their body.
Dynalar Technologies - A local corporation, within Night City that is in the cybernetic
field, manufacturing a number of cybernetic implants, as well as cybernetic limbs, mainly
for women.
Interestingly enough, in the year 2077, a woman using cybernetic technology built by
Dynalar Tech, went on a rampage in downtown Night City.
This woman is likely the same one that we see in the teaser trailer.
Euro Business Machines, or EBM - EBM is a German company, located in Hamburg, that specializes
in software and hardware development, as well as hosting and consulting, along with the
storage and transfer of computer information.
Since the 1900's, it has remained the leading manufacturer of high-tech equipment, and is
constantly acquiring similar businesses to increase it's sphere of influence, as well
as it's market.
Infocomp - A company from Los Angeles, built on the concept of enhancing profit, controlling
risk, and reducing volatility in the means of business.
Infocomp also operates as an information repository, where data is stored in order to either, be
deleted, or operate autonomously.
International Electric Corporation, or IEC - IEC is a European business conglomerate
that operates through multiple segments, including corporate finance, insurance, construction,
transportation, software development and more.
Essentially acting as the backbone of infrastructure.
Kendachi - A Japanese company built on arms manufacturing and advanced technology, including
various editions of flamethrowers.
Likely another supporter in Japan's rise to a global power, as many arms manufcaturers
in the real world, focus most of their industrial power on developing weapons for various militaries.
Lazarus Group - A privately owned and privately operated military contracting and private
security firm working closely with the US government to provide services alongside,
or in the place of the military.
Militech - Similar to Lazarus Group, Militech is also a major mercenary contractor working
alongside the US military and police forces.
Although in addition, Militech is an American arms manufacturer that shares Arasaka's dreams
of creating a superpower, though Militech seeks to restore the United States as a global
power, rather than Japan.
Merril, Asukaga and Finch - A publicly owned wealth management company, focused on financial
analysis and acquiring owernship stakes in various other companies.
Microtech - A technology company that develops, licenses, supports, and sells computer software
and consumer electronics, such as computers, phones, as well as sophisticated workstations
and mainframes.
Mitsubishi-Sugo - A major automotive and transportation manufacturer.
We will likely see this company many times throughout the game, seeing as vehicles may
very well play a huge role in the games navigation.
Network News 54 - An American broadcasting company that provides 24 hour news station
within Night City.
They make use of the media to document their stories, the media being a playable role,
first appearing in Cyberpunk 2013 Orbital Air - An African corporation located
in Nairobi, Kenya, soley based on space transportation of equipment, materials and people, including
the maintainance of orbital facilities.
Not to mention, they have a monopoly on the whole shabang.
Petrochem - An energy company responsible for the generation, transmission, distribution
and sale of electrical power to the general public, as well as advanced agriculture.
Without these guys, the scene we see in the teaser trailer would look a lot darker.
Raven Microcybernetics - Another player in the cybernetics scene, though it is much larger
than Biotechnica, in fact it is the leading company in it's field.
SovOil - An oil company that internally adopts communist ideals, and actually sees itself
as a successor to the all time great Soviet corporations.
SovOil owns a large percentage of the petrochemical market, likely being either a competitor,
or a supplier for Petrochem.
Trauma Team International - Headquarterd in Los Angeles, this corporation is a private
mediacal firm, providing ambulance and paramedical services, disaster relief, even combat search
and rescue for the military, and police in various countries.
World News Service - A world wide news agency located in the United Kingdom.
Like Network News 54, they utilize the media to write and record their stories.
World Satellite Communications Network, or WorldSatCom - A French company that works
in the satellite communications industry, transmitting messages and information through
high frequency satellite relays for multiple countries.
Zetatech - Headquartered in Cupertino California, Zetatech is among a number of fairly new corporations,
specializing in computer hardware and software design, as well as robotics and cybernetics.
