Cyberpunk 2077 mod reopens a nightclub previously only visitable in a Johnny Silverhand flashback, so you can properly hang out in The Afterlife’s forerunner

Odds are you’ve spent a fair amount of time chilling in The Afterlife if you’ve sunk plenty of hours into Cyberpunk 2077, but if you’ve not played through the main story in a while, you might not remember briefly visiting the club that was Night City’s top hangout back when Johnny Silverhand was a real boy.

The good news is that modders have managed to resurrect and re-open this forgotten club, The Atlantis, so that you can go back in non-flashback state and dance about to some pounding techno in it without having to pause the action mid-mission.

Outstandingly-named modder Brocreate’s ‘The Atlantis – Restored‘, takes the blank spot on the map where the club used to be – having been closed down long before the time that serves as present day for Cyberpunk’s story – and reopens it with all the functionality you’d expect from one of the base game’s proper night spots.

So, while the version of The Atlantis you visit in the vanilla Cyberpunk is only briefly explorable during the Silverhand flashback mission ‘Never Fade Away‘, when Johnny heads there to chat to Rogue about doing, er, a thing at Arasaka Tower, this one is a proper location on the map you can pop into any time. In addition being cool for the obvious nightclub reasons, it’s cool from a lore nerd perspective, as The Atlantis’ in-game database entry cites it as having been NC’s main gathering spot prior to The Afterlife being created.

“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,” reads that database entry. So, no pressure then, on this mod that lets 2077 V access it in all its heyday pomp and delivers a fresh coat of paint in the form of new NPC crowds, bartenders you can interact with, and some other immersive touches.

If nothing else, it’s another cool location to take screens of your character as they show off whichever new bits of cyberware you’ve decided are totally necessary for this build, for reasons that don’t involve it just being quirky to have eyes that shoot lasers.
