Cyberpunk 2077 players came together to celebrate a historic day in the history of Night City.
August 20, 2023, marks one of the most significant events in the history of towering city, and the events preceding Cyberpunk 2077. It's on this date that Johnny Silverhand and company detonate a nuclear bomb in Arasaka Tower, in an attempt to destroy the company's databanks and erase their Soulkiller 3.0 project from existence.

If you've played Cyberpunk 2077, you know how the event goes: the bomb goes off, but Adam Smasher slays Johnny during the assault. Silverhand's death neatly sets the stage for Cyberpunk 2077's story at large, where Johnny is revived of sorts in protagonist V's body, and the end of the story features a similar assault on Arasaka Tower.
It's this major event that Cyberpunk 2077 fans celebrated yesterday, August 20. Despite the fact that, according to a late-game quest in Cyberpunk 2077, over 4,000 people died in the detonation, it's a reason for celebration among fans of CD Projekt's game, as a gigantic middle finger to Arasaka during the Fourth Corporate War.
