Lore wiki — setting and story, not stats or game mechanics.

Wiki

Lore-first reference—characters, places, factions, and history. Not a game guide.

This wiki is lore-only: it covers the setting’s people, places, ideas, and timeline—not item stats, quests as walkthroughs, or mechanics. Content is grouped into pillars so you can browse without noise. Each pillar has a landing page with suggested entry points.

Pillars

  • Lore — Setting, politics, and ideas that shape the world beyond any single character or gun.
  • Characters — People who drive stories—edgerunners, fixers, legends, and the ones caught in between.
  • Locations — Districts, landmarks, and places that define geography and power in Night City.
  • Factions — Corps, gangs, and movements—who holds leverage and how they fight for it.
  • Technology — In-world tech—netrunning, implants, systems—as culture, power, and risk. Not items or builds.
  • Timeline — Major eras and events—corporate wars, the DataKrash, and the long road to 2077.
