Founded by an elite consortium of global corporations, Midway Island is an unregulated innovation zone created to combat a global data security threat caused by deep learning AI. With no human rights agencies to appease, they developed a new data transmission and storage concept based on the human brain – so fundamentally different from traditional network architecture, AI couldn’t navigate it. With security came market confidence, and now Midway City has become a sprawling nerve center for international trade – it is the new land of opportunity; and where there is opportunity, crime finds a way... In this corporate haven, players assume the roles of mercenaries undertaking high-stakes missions such as espionage, sabotage, theft, and assassination for competing business entities. Midway City is depicted as a lawless metropolis, a nerve center for international trade, where corporations operate without governmental oversight, leading to unchecked innovation and ethical ambiguities. The city's design reflects a blend of influences from Manhattan, Hong Kong, and Dubai, featuring towering skyscrapers and neon-lit streets that create a futuristic yet gritty environment.
