DEADLOCKCity Never Sleeps
Valve’s own page for City Never Sleeps is the primary source. The wiki’s 29 September article is the patch-note companion. Together they describe a map pushed further into occult 1950s New York.
I downloaded the official district stills — uptown, the square, broadway — and used those instead of a generated skyline when the caption needed to be a real place in the update.
What you can see on the map
Districts called on the official page include the Theater, Chinatown, the Haunted Lot and the Plaza. The Sunken Plaza drops the city’s noise, and your stamina, as you descend. The Chinatown bell tower is a soul hotspot that rings. Steam vents grant invisibility and regen. The Broker sells banned goods, which is also how corrupted items entered the conversation.
Street Brawl granted a corrupted item after the round-five draft in this update. The wiki later records those items removed on 4 October 2026.
