That's interesting! It definitely has some of the visuals often associated with solarpunk (I'm not really a fan of the sleek plastic metropolis look personally, I much prefer solarpunk to be punk and emphasize stuff like creative reuse, but the visual art in the genre is lousy with this stuff and the game makers executed it well from what the trailer shows). I think there's still room for this to be cyberpunk depending on how real or widely available this area is - if it's some company park or an enclave of the rich, and wealth disparity still exists, I could see it being cyberpunk in content if not aesthetics at least. It does look very cool, thanks for sharing it!

What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Is the MC also a younger version of Captain Coffee Janeway? Cause that's the look I'm seeing from the model.
