The first stop of the Phantom Liberty Tour is in the books! A huge thank you to everyone who visited us there — we hope everyone enjoyed playing Phantom Liberty and meeting with us, because we sure loved having our community there!
Folks call it Dogtown these days, but once upon a time it was slated to be a high-rolling resort, brimming with luxury spas, ritzy casinos, and grand hotels. Then along came the NUSA’s Unification War. Rapped hard on Night City’s doorstep, spooked the big money boys. They all pulled their eddies, ran for the hills, left the dream gathering dust.
If you came here looking for paradise, too bad. You’re late.
Wondering why this pile of AeroZep scrap, squatting right in the stadium’s stomach, ain’t been junked for parts yet? Well, it’s a vital part of Kurt’s wonderland. The nuclear heart nestled inside feeds Dogtown’s folks with juice, no bills attached. Toss in water, a roof overhead, all for zip… you begin to grasp the siren song of Hansen’s “utopia”.
My advice: stay away from this flame, or get burned.
Every day, newcomers make their way past Dogtown’s walls full of hope for a better life. Some are looking to hide, but most want to escape their dark pasts. What they don’t know is that there’s no bright future waiting for them here… They’re just changing one form of terror for another: from corpos to warlord Kurt and his loyal dogs — Barghest.
Barghest, aka Kurt’s private army, rules Dogtown with an iron fist. Don't mistake them for just a bunch of unruly gangers — their core is made up of well-trained military veterans and mercs who will turn your life into hell if you step out of line. Their ranks are constantly reinforced by dozens of street kids dazed by the allure of becoming part of something bigger.
Consider it extremely dangerous. Stay out of their way and interfere only if your life is in danger.
From the Los Angeles Megaplex's slums to high-profile braindances — that was Alex's original dream, but the studio she joined turned out to be a front for the FIA, changing the trajectory of her life dramatically. Now she uses her formidable acting skills in covert missions.
The Black Market, Dogtown’s beating heart — and the center of all trade deals. No taxes, no NCPD, no corpo jurisdiction. If you’re looking for something unique, from illegal cyberware to smuggled weapons, this is where you go. But watch your back: this place is guarded by Hansen’s mad dogs — Barghest. One false move and…
My two cents? Stick to the shadows, like any savvy shopper ought to.
To some a gangster or a terrorist, to others a charismatic leader creating a corpo and cop-free safe haven. Kurt Hansen wrested Dogtown out of Night City's control during the Unification War and keeps the district going with the money from his large-scale smuggling operation.
Dogtown. A city within Night City. Former Pacifica subdistrict, now a fortress ruled by our favorite renegade colonel — Kurt Hansen. He ignored his exit orders post-Unification War, thumbed his nose at the Arvin Accord, carved out his private patch of land, and opened up the Black Market. But the powers-that-be don’t bat an eye — too much profit in gun trades and fat-cat deals. Kurt’s kingdom thrives behind the wall with no laws to curb him, while most dwellers teeter on the brink of poverty. But hey, they’re unshackled from corporate reign, right?
