 — Welcome to Los Osos Motel!, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

The Los Osos is a dilapidated motel located in West Wind Estate, in the Pacifica district of southern Night City. It is part of the Los Osos franchise, which has multiple locations in the district.

Overview

Built during the 2060s, this specific Los Osos was constructed in West Wind Estate to provide lodging and a short walk distance to Pacifica's beaches.

Abandoned at some point after the Unification War, the building is now occupied by a group of Scavengers, who repurposed it as a hideout for their illegal acquisition of cyberware.

Behind the Scenes

First, I wanted to determine the dimensions and general flow of the area with an early, very basic, and raw version of the blockout. The entire boss fight was designed with a minimum of three exits from each room, encouraging continuous movement in a circular pattern — and with plenty of cover spots for the player. This design was made to give the player freedom of movement throughout the whole battle. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted a pretty tough boss here. The entire hotel was designed to be unsettling, with a touch of horror mixed in, and for the final fight, I wanted to create a true hell on earth: a dense atmosphere with flickering, burning red lights, home to a deadly and quick boss. During development, it was crucial for me to go through multiple iterations with an Environment Artist, Lighting Artist, and Sound Designers to ensure we achieved an uneasy and even disturbing atmosphere. The tension builds into a tense and dreadful nightmare for the boss fight — followed by relief once players discover Leon Rinder’s condition afterwards.

Trivia

• This motel chain is likely a reference to Los Osos, a town upon which - alongside Morro Bay - Night City was built upon in the Cyberpunk lore.
