Cyberpunk 2077's scrapped lunar DLC, uncovered by dataminer SirMZK, reveals an ambitious vision for a space-faring expansion. Game files reveal extensive plans, including lunar surface maps featuring locations like an "Exterior Movie Set" and a "Drug Lab," alongside a rover model. The scale was breathtaking—potentially a quarter the size of Night City, offering a vast open-world experience beyond the game's familiar neon-drenched streets.
A key element was the Crystal Palace, an elite space station glimpsed briefly in one of Cyberpunk 2077's endings. Further leaks point to a zero-gravity bar and a cut quest, "201," connected to the Arasaka storyline. These elements hint at a complex narrative interwoven with the exploration of a new environment.
While CD Projekt RED hasn't confirmed whether any of these concepts will reappear in their upcoming Orion project, fans remain hopeful. The unearthed details showcase a bold, imaginative expansion that would have dramatically broadened Cyberpunk 2077's scope, seamlessly blending space exploration with its signature cyberpunk style. For now, it remains a tantalizing glimpse of what could have been.
