Neocron is a 2002 post-apocalyptic[1] cyberpunk[2] massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) developed by Reakktor Media GmbH (based in Hannover, Germany[3]) and published by cdv Software Entertainment.

[7] Its 2004 sequel, Neocron 2: Beyond Dome of York, was originally slated to be an expansion pack[8] and released separately under a new publisher, 10tacle Studios AG.

Available are genetically engineered super soldiers, ("GenTank"), the slight, yet dexterous and intelligent "Spy", the psionically focused and physically underpowered "Psi Monk" as well as the "Private Eye" (PE), commonly referred to as a Jack of All Trades for its ability to use aspects of all the other classes.

Jobs range from the notorious hacker, who dives into the alternate reality of Hacknet, technicians who research or construct items and (especially) weapons, to the common grunt, who fights alongside his clan for the outposts, spread around the wastelands.

The unexplained apparent destruction of the first Chinese interstellar colony ship resulted in China launching devastating nuclear strikes with stealth missiles.
