Cyberpunk 2077 Lore – The MAIN Megacorporations! (Kang Tao, Arasaka, Militech, NightCorp & More!)

The mysterious NightCorp, the indominable Arasaka, the powerhouse Militech, the new kids on the block Kang Tao, the paramedical giant Trauma Team International, the renowned & established Kendachi, the optics king Kiroshi, and the ever present Zetatech are at the top of the corporate food-chain in Cyberpunk 2077. Let’s find out more about them as well as exactly what they are offering and how they are offering it that makes them unstoppable forces in 2077.

Megacorporations in the Cyberpunk age are massive entities, far beyond our modern day 21st century definitions. They operate on the same scale as small nations and rival and many times supersede governments in terms of power, size and scale. They dominate a wide variety of industries from agriculture to the media, to weapons and security technologies.

Cyberpunk 2077 News – NEW Content Date REVEALED, New Lore & CDPR’s Billionaire!

Some new lore on The Valentinos & Kang Tao, Confirmation on new content for Cyberpunk 2077 and the date we can expect to see it, CDPR forging it’s first billionaire, as well as an 8K upscaled Cyberpunk 2077 project you’re going to want to check out for yourself all in todays Cyberpunk 207 news video.

First let’s dive into a couple of lore blurbs posted to the 2077 Twitter page. First we have the Valentinos described as “one of Night City’s largest gangs, the Valentinos are bound by a strong moral code and century-old traditions. Controlling swathes of predominantly Latino areas of Heywood, they treat values such as honor, justice and brother hood with deadly seriousness.

Jackie seems to e a member of the Valentinos based on his attire and the fact that he is in promo art for the Valentinos, and it seems like CDPR have pivoted a bit based on this description from the original Valentinos who were all about womanizing and getting as many lays as possible. CDPR has confirmed that the Valentinos will not be exclusive to Night City’s latino population and some information that we’ve know for a while know that we wont be able to join any of the gangs.

CDPR also dropped some lore on Kang Tao which is a young Chinese company specializing in smart-gun technology and security services. It’s making its way to the top of the weapon industry at a tremendous pace thanks to bold choices, courageous strategy and government backing. Kang Tao makes the smart rifle we’ve seen in some of the prior gameplays.
Moving on, we finally know when we will be seeing more from Cyberpunk 2077 in terms of fresh content. IGN tweeted out a couple of days that Cyberpunk 2077 has joined the IGN summer of gaming event lineup, which is looking to be one of the bigger gaming events that will take place of previously cancelled E3. This event will feature publisher presentations, developer interviews done remotely, game previews, demos and more. I’m really hoping we get to see some more tangible gameplay as even the most recent deep dive is 7 or 8 months old at this point and on top of that featured an old build.

Again, this is going to be in June and is the first confirmed time period where Cyberpunk 2077 will have a presence, but that’s not to say we can see some more before that. I’ll def be streaming this event on this channel to watch whatever unfolds with you guys so make sure you pop by the channel when we know some more concrete timings. IGN’s summer event will be sometime in June.

Moving on we have the first Billionaire within CD PROJEKT. Marcin Iwinski recently hit a networth of over 1 billion USD, and is now the 9th richest person in Poland, with Michal Kicinski, CD PROJEKTs second biggest shareholder right behind him at a net worth of over 900 million USD.
Other billionaires that have been created from the gaming industry include Gabe Newell, chariman of valve with a networth of 3.5 billion, Forest Li Garena founder and CEO with a networh of 2,5 billion and Ma Huaten, chaiman of Tencent Holdings, whose assets surpass 48 billion. It’s funny because a lot of these guys have made their fortunes with games centered around some sort of microtransaction business strategy, but Iwinski seems to be the exception within this list.

Finally check out this 8K machine learning AI upscales of both the 48 minute gameplay demo as well as the deep dive demo by Preston aka Ani HVX on YouTube. It looks absolutely insane and there is a 60GB uncompressed 8K link for those unhampered by your computers spatial needs. Apparently the 48 minute demo took 71 hours to render on a RTX 2080ti / i7 9700k build which just makes it all the more impressive. Links in the pinned comment and description for you guys to Preston’s channel he has a lot of other videos on immersion and setups so I def recommend checking him out.
