It is with great pleasure that we announce that a new game in the Cyberpunk Bartender Action series is in the works! featuring a whole new cast and new ways to play and see the story unfold.
The story this time around is about Sam, a bartender living in Saint Alicia; an artificial island that, just like Glitch City, was developed as a playground for corporations that have been forming city states of their own around the globe in order to circumvent regulations. Sam is at odds with her romantic partner, Leon, who is the head of a small Yakuza family that operates at the redlight district. Their relationship is in the rocks, as they deal with the conflicts arising from their very different lives while taking care of their 8 year-old boy, Tony, who’s growing up in a increasingly harsher society.
The game has been in development for about nine months and we decided it was in a good enough state to be shown. It will be a stand-alone game, meaning that you don’t have to play VA-11 Hall-A in order to enjoy it (but it will certainly give you insight into existing lore). It will also feature big improvements over VA-11 Hall-A in many aspects, but you’ll have to wait a bit more to find out.
A lot of work has gone into this reveal so I want to thank to everyone involved in this project. It’s been a huge pleasure to go back to the world we started with Valhalla and it certainly won’t be the last title to do so!
Now go ahead and check out the website at nirvana.bar to get some juicy screenshots!
Regarding Next Game
It’s not cancelled, it doesn’t have a lower priority, it wasn’t made as a red herring. We expanded the staff (just one extra programmer) to be able to handle more than one project at a time and this one is going just fine, we just decided to reveal N1RV Ann-A first because it was the most polished one at the moment. Next Game is our biggest project to date and as such it needs more time to get pretty before we can show you gameplay. Hopefully there’s as much excitement for it as N1RV Ann-A going forward.
