🎧 ABOUT THE PROJECT
Cyberpunk 2080: Chicago tells the story of Axel Navarro, a sharp-minded underdog who joins Militech to prove he’s not the “nobody” people think he is. Along the way, he meets Lamont, a driven soldier-in-training who becomes his closest friend.
After five brutal years of training, Axel and Lamont are sent on a deadly mission in the Nevada wastelands to retrieve classified intel. But everything goes wrong. Barely surviving, they’re rescued by a mysterious fixer named Gene, who brings them to Chicago’s criminal underground.
Gene offers them a deal: complete mercenary gigs in exchange for a chance at revenge.
Now, Axel and Lamont must navigate a world of data heists, corpo espionage, street warfare—and decide if revenge is worth the price.
