The Neon Barons beta is open
Three arrondissements, five careers, crews and a city living on Paris time: what you'll find in the beta.
Neon Barons is now playable in beta, for free, in your browser. Here’s what’s waiting for you.
From container to Corpo
You start with a shipping container under the ring road. You pick one of five careers: Synth food, Data brokers, Bootleg cyberware, Armoury or Infrastructure. You buy on the black market or in the street, resell through the shop, deliver contracts to earn reputation, and your neighbourhood grows in 3D with every level.
A city that really lives
The game is set in three Paris arrondissements: the 11th, the 13th and the 18th. The city follows Paris time and its real weather. By day, legal trade runs; by night, the black market. City events (shortage, party night, curfew…) shake things up.
Playing together
Start or join a crew, deliver the weekly order together, take districts from other crews and climb the weekly and season rankings. City and crew chat, private messages and friends are already in.
On your phone
The game works on phone and computer. On iPhone, add it to your home screen: it opens full screen and can tell you when your sales are done.
It’s a beta
Your game may still be reset, and we fix things as we go. A bug, an idea, a comment? Write to us: contact@nextworkstep.com.
