"Hacking" Cyberpunk Video Game Concept Art by Erki Schotter

This custom illustration, created by Schotter Illustration Studio, is a visual development piece for a cyberpunk-inspired video game. Set in a gritty, neon-lit metropolis, the scene captures a tense moment: a group of high-tech hackers, mid-operation, attempting to breach a street-level bank terminal—only to be confronted by armed police forces.

The clash unfolds under the cover of night, illuminated by the glow of holographic billboards, flickering neon signs, and the vibrant pulse of a city that never sleeps. Inspired by cinematic classics like Blade Runner, the artwork embraces the hallmarks of the cyberpunk genre—dark alleyways, towering skyscrapers, glowing tech, and blurred lines between rebellion and order.

Each character is decked out in futuristic cyberpunk attire, equipped with sleek gadgets, weapons, and neural gear, emphasizing their role in this high-stakes digital underworld. The bustling urban sprawl around them sets the tone for a chaotic and complex world—one filled with danger, opportunity, and rebellion.

The illustration serves as a key worldbuilding piece, offering a glimpse into the game’s tone, setting, and character design. It’s a visual narrative that immerses viewers in a city of contrasts—where technology empowers and oppresses, and where every shadow hides a story.
