Since its release, Cyberpunk 2077 has not only captured the imagination of gamers but has also expanded its reach into various forms of media, inspiring an anime series, board games, and novels. Now, the universe of Night City continues to grow with the Hugo Award-winning graphic novel, Cyberpunk 2077: Big City Dreams. Written by Bartosz Sztybor with art from Filipe Andrade and Alessio Fioriniello, this Dark Horse Books publication dives deep into the vibrant yet perilous world of Night City through the eyes of two contrasting characters.
Cyberpunk 2077: Big City Dreams follows the lives of Tasha and Mirek, scavengers in the dystopian city who make their living stealing cyberware—a lucrative but dangerous endeavor. Tasha, known for her wild and unpredictable nature, contrasts sharply with Mirek, who is more introspective and yearns for a better, more peaceful life. As the story unfolds, their ambitions diverge, leading Mirek to an unexpected discovery in the form of a braindance that could potentially fulfill his deepest desires.
The graphic novel has been celebrated for its compelling narrative and rich visual storytelling, which captures the essence of the Cyberpunk 2077 game while expanding on its themes. Upon winning the Hugo Award, Sztybor expressed his gratitude and reflected on the core themes of the novel: “I’m happy that Big City Dreams was acknowledged, because in its core, it’s a story about science-fiction, fantasy, about all kinds of escapisms, the need but also the risk of dreaming,” he said. “I took that risk, I dreamt and I’m happy.”
For fans eager to dive back into the gritty streets of Night City, Cyberpunk 2077: Big City Dreams offers a new avenue to explore the cyberpunk universe. Currently, the graphic novel is available at a reduced price on Amazon US for $18.20 and for £16.93 in the UK.
This graphic novel not only provides an enriching addition to the Cyberpunk 2077 lore but also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the game’s world, proving that the dystopian future of Night City continues to fascinate and inspire both old fans and newcomers alike.
