Main Story Plot and Summary

Chip With A Soul From The Past

V goes from job to job as their normal life as mercenaries go.

But, when V is contacted by a fixer asking him to steal a legendary chip in exchange for influence and huge eddies, he realizes that this maybe his chance to rise above the menial merc work. He readily accepts the work.

However, little did he know, that the chip and the people around it have their own hidden agendas.

Johnny Silverhand

Johnny Silverhand appears in V's head and is hellbent on taking revenge on the Arasaka Megacorp that created the chip. V will have to make the decision to help him out or not, knowing either one will alter the course of his life.

He will soon have to face both the horrors of Johnny Silverhand's past as well as the impending troubles this chip will befall on V.

Fight For Survival

However, V realizes the chip is so much more than tech - it is slowly killing him as well. He must race against the clock if he wants to survive.

V knows that in order to live, he would need to track down the creators of the chip - the Arasaka Megacorp. But, along the way, he will surely encounter enemies - from Arasaka security to other mercenaries - and he would have to learn to weave through thim in order to survive.

Battle For The Chip

V needs to decide who to trust in this battle for his life. It's not just about waging fights - they knew they needed to make the smart choice. V will need to bribe, outsmart and hack his opponents to get to the bottom of this.

And whichever option they choose, V will ultimately decide the fate of Night City.
