So far, we've only been shown Watson, and a very seemingly (hopefully) limited amount of Pacifica.
Which district would you like to see next and in what kind of atmosphere? How do you think each district might look or pull inspiration from?
Here's the list of districts and they're brief, official, description:
City Center: Night City's biggest pride, this is the heart of corporations, the cluster of neon, and the quintessence of luxury.
Watson: A unique mix of Asian cultures, it is a fallen corporate giant now populated by immigrants, hiding various bazaars and markets in a tangle of narrow alleyways.

Westbrook: Featuring tourist-oriented Japantown, it is a place for the wealthy who like to work hard and play hard.
Heywood: Living in one of the neighborhoods of the predominantly Latino area means you successfully managed to climb the social ladder -- it's a massive suburban housing district, with an underlying gang problem.
Pacifica: On the other end of the spectrum, this is the most dangerous part of town, abandoned and overrun by gang activity. Separated from the rest of the city, it's a place of immense poverty.
Santo Domingo: All of Night City is powered from here, with its countless power plants and industrial factories, stuck in an endless cycle of modernization.
Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Westbrook and Santo Domingo the most.
I'd want to see Westbrook at night while it's raining. Especially since all of our previews have been bright and during the day. I feel like this will be the area that attains the classic Cyberpunk neon noodle eating in the rain type vibe the best.
Santo Domingo I feel will be the area that is most heavily Blade Runner influenced. I would loveeee for an area directly inspired by Blade Runner so I could live out that fantasy of being a part of those movies. Definitely a more grey, overcast or night time playthrough would be best for this one as well.
Also we have the posters acknowledging the different art and lifestyles we'll be seeing in Cyberpunk.

I feel like Neo-Kitsch is definitely going to be the City Center according to both of their descriptions, which is very exciting.
Kitsch will definitely probably be more Westbrook and maybe Watson.
Entropism definitely sounds more like Pacifica and Heywood.
The Neo Militarism I feel might be sprinkled into each area that has heavy corpo presence. That, and Santo Domingo.
I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on this and what they're looking for out of the level design and environments.
