The Atlantis was the name of a nightclub in central Night City. For decades, it was the premier hangout for the city's fixers, solos, and netrunners.
History
2000s - 2020s
In its early years, the Atlantis' reputation was considered anarchistic, reportedly a regular haunt of Johnny Silverhand and his former lover, Rogue Amendiares. Over the years, however, the Atlantis changed of decor and tone, becoming more akin to a fern bar. By the 2010s, it was a favorite hangout for upwardly-mobile corporates and mercenaries looking for work.[2][3]
In 2013, Rogue and her solo partner, Santiago, regularly did business at the club. After Alt Cunningham's kidnapping, Johnny met with Rogue at the Atlantis and hired both mercs to launch an assault against Arasaka. Hot on his tail, several Arasaka private security contractors arrived and attempted to eliminate Johnny and Thompson, killing a patron in the process. The four of them managed to fight back and escape from the club alive. Soon afterwards they proceeded to Arasaka Tower to rescue Alt.[2][4]
Over the following years, the Atlantis grew in popularity, becoming a central hub for information dealing, mercwork, and professional favors. With no reputation check to access it, the establishment's patrons were very diverse and wild, with veterans and novices alike. Fixers, solos, corpos, media, netrunner, rockers, off-the-clock cops, con artists, swindlers, 15-minute celebrities, long-forgotten legends, washed-out pop icons, dream dealers, spies and many more. No matter what kind of reputation you had on the street, everyone was welcomed here. Going inside was easy, but trying to get out unscathed was a different story.[1][3][5]
Due to its massive popularity, by 2020 the Atlantis was one of the most expensive clubs in Night City, serving a complete selection of spirits, liqueurs, beers, and cocktails. Its customers knew the score, and when trouble broke out it just was between the warring parties; everyone else stayed out.[1][3]
2030s - 2040s
During the Time of the Red after the Fourth Corporate War, the Atlantis was included inside a new district in development known as the Glen, aimed to become the new governmental center of Night City.[6]
By the 2040s, Club Atlantis was known for its executive appeal, with stylized architecture and interiors, and offering a more glamorous, upscale design to patrons.[6] Mister Kernaghan used to place his Night Market on two floors of above of the Atlantis This exclusive event was usually set at least four times a year, though Mister K only did so when he had enough items of interest. Only one hundred invitations were given, and it was prestigious enough that luxury vendors wanting to participate dropped anything to be there. Danger Gal was hired to keep the marketplace secured during the quarterly events.[7]
Legacy
By the 2070s, the Atlantis had, like much of Night City after the economic collapse, all but disappeared. Its role as the defining haunt for solos and fixers in Night City was replaced by the Afterlife, a club ran by Rogue Amendiares herself. Unlike the Atlantis, the Afterlife's admission policy was far more exclusive, and catered primarily to solos and netrunners. Nostalgic old-timers lamented that, as good as the Afterlife scene was, it lacked the wildcard flavor of the Atlantis.[5]
Database Entry (2077)
ATLANTIS
Just as it is difficult today to imagine the fabric of Night City without the Afterlife, so it was in the 2020s with Atlantis. Atlantis was the central hub of information dealing, mercwork and professional favors. Those who still remember the club (which has long been closed) say the Afterlife is a poor imitation, stained by posers, that doesn't hold a candle to the atmosphere of authenticity Atlantis once boasted. Of course, when people reach a certain age, they tend to make claims of that sort about the old days. But one claim that does contain a nugget of truth is that the Atlantis welcomed a more diverse (and wilder) crowd. Not only would you encounter mercenaries and fixers with established street cred, but you could rub elbows with con artists, swindlers, 15-minute celebs, long-forgotten legends, rockers, washed-out pop icons, off-the-clock cops, dream dealers, spies... Back in those days, there was no rep-check to walk through that front door. (Whether you walked back out under your own power was a different matter.)[5]
Layout
Cyberpunk 2020 & RED
In Night City Sourcebook, Club Atlantis was described as an expensive establishment decorated in a disorienting style reminiscent of House of Stairs: cleverly placed cantilevered stairs, angled mirrors, special effects lighting and animatronics placed strategically on walls and ceilings creating the optical illusion of bar patrons moving against the laws of physics and gravity. It also had a complete bar, a multilevel dancefloor and performance stage.[1][3]
In Cyberpunk RED, the Atlantis was described in a similar way; a multi-level club popular for its flashy, avant-garde, and disorienting style, highlighted by moving staircases, mirrored walls, and cool cerulean lighting.[6] Mister Kernaghan's Night Market occupied two floors above the Atlantis. Unlike the club itself, the market was filled with luxury goods, services and cutting-edge decor, offering class and sophistication.[7]
Cyberpunk 2077
In Cyberpunk 2077, the Atlantis seen in the memories was a multi-level establishment with two bars, a big dancefloor, booths and a backroom. It didn't have any disorienting features.[4]
Notes
- In Night City Sourcebook, the Atlantis is described as being on the top three floors of the Piper Memorial Sports Arena. That same book describes the building as having twin towers despite not being depicted in the art. Additionally, a previous map in the same book points to the club being located on the same space as the Transit Center.[1] This last depiction is also found in Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk 2013: Welcome to Night City. These last two books also depict the club as being at street level as seen by the maps in the Gallery. Cyberpunk 2077's rendition of the club also depicts it located at street level.
- In Cyberpunk 2077, the Atlantis is physically located in Japantown during the Never Fade Away quest. Outside of the memories, the building has no signs and is blocked off by rubble.
