Motorball

Motorball is a fictional sport featured in the video game Cyberpunk 2077 and its associated tabletop role-playing game. It is a brutal, high-octane combat sport played in a specialized arena. The objective of Motorball is to score goals by getting a heavy, magnetized ball into the opponent's net.

Players, known as "Motorballers," race souped-up motorcycles equipped with armaments. The motorcycles are designed for speed, maneuverability, and combat, often featuring weapons like mounted guns and reinforced plating. The arena itself is a complex environment with ramps, obstacles, and hazards designed to enhance the spectacle and danger of the matches.

The rules of Motorball are simple but unforgiving. Physical contact between players is not only allowed but encouraged, often resulting in crashes and injuries. The primary goal is to outmaneuver and outgun opponents while simultaneously advancing the ball towards the goal. Spectacles are a key element, with audiences often betting on the outcome and cheering for particularly violent or skillful plays.

Motorball is often portrayed as a dangerous and potentially lethal profession, with participants risking their lives for fame and fortune. The sport is a significant part of the game's lore, reflecting the violent and consumerist culture of the Cyberpunk universe. While the specific rules and mechanics can vary between the video game and the tabletop game, the core concept of a deadly motorcycle combat sport remains consistent.
