The Time of the Red: Cyberpunk’s Darkest Era Explained

The Time of the Red is the most violent and misunderstood era in Cyberpunk history. This video explores the full timeline of the Time of the Red—the brutal years between the Fourth Corporate War and Cyberpunk 2077. We cover the nuking of Night City, the collapse of the global NET, the rise of the Nomad Nations, and the slow rebirth of Night City by 2045. This is the era that explains why the world of 2077 looks the way it does. If you enjoy deep Cyberpunk lore, worldbuilding, and clear timeline breakdowns, this video is for you. Gameplay footage shown is my own, captured in a heavily modded version of Cyberpunk 2077. Mod list available on request. Big thanks to R. Talsorian Games and ‪@CDPROJEKTRED‬ for building this universe. #Cyberpunk2077 #CyberpunkLore #TimeOfTheRed #NightCity #CyberpunkHistory #GameFrame
