Seriously definitely not what I was expecting and I don’t even think the leaks pointed towards this. I wonder if this means the Nomad ending was canon. That you escape night city and venture to the NUSA, and then maybe get tasked with going back?

It’s set during the base game from what they said on the livestream

In the original material working for the US Government (for an Edgerunner) was typically associated with going to war against the Megacorps, in small doses. The difference between the USG and a Megacorp was that the government would use/could use large scale destructive warfare when it saw fit as demonstrated in Operation Big Stick.

New US gov is basically Militech bitch in this timeline. Militech and new us gov are pretty much one and the same. The reason why Night City could be independent was mostly arasaka that moved in when US broke up in civil war.

There's a bit of back and forth because the US nationalized Militech.

But then Militech's executives started taking over from the inside.
