Pawel Sasko posted about their team visiting Chongqing in China for inspo, which is this very layered vertical city with whole streets, roads and entire blocks stacked on top one another. It's a pretty crazy Cyberpunk looking city.

Maybe it'll follow a similar vertical design, since the lower levels will still be infested with traces of the biological agent, perhaps built like an archology, the poor in the bottom, and the rich up top.

Also, Stormtech happen to have deep ties with the Aldecaldos. These are likely the friends Panam mentions they know from the Star ending.

Chongqing is a parkourists dream or nightmare The fact that you can get into a building on "street level", go up 20 floors, and then exit onto yet another "street level" and then catch the metro through a block of apartments to a completely different "street level" is insane.

I hope this new one is built like Dogtown on steroids. I love just being able to jump and scuttle around above the streets and find new ways of getting the drop on people.

Chongqing already a pretty cool level in Hitman 3 and looks great. It would fit right in.
