Cyberpunk 2077 enthusiasts were once set to embark on an interstellar journey with a planned DLC that would have taken them to the Moon. This ambitious expansion, unearthed by blogger and dataminer SirMZK through leaks and game files, showcases CD Projekt RED's vision for a cosmic adventure. The Moon setting was poised to be expansive, potentially encompassing a quarter of Night City's size, and designed with an open-world layout to offer a fresh gameplay experience far from the familiar neon-lit streets.
Among the intriguing elements discovered were references to lunar surface maps, designated areas like the Exterior Movie Set and Drug Lab, and a rover model. A standout feature would have been the Crystal Palace, an elite space station. Although it didn't make it into the final game, fans can spot the Crystal Palace in one of the game's endings as V gazes out of a spaceship window. Additionally, files hint at a zero-gravity bar connected to a scrapped quest named 201, which tied into the Arasaka storyline.
Though the Moon DLC remains a shelved project, the community holds onto hope that these innovative ideas might find new life in CD Projekt RED's next endeavor, Orion, which aims to broaden the Cyberpunk universe. No official word has been released regarding the revival of these concepts, yet the details unearthed offer a glimpse into a potential future where space exploration meets the iconic cyberpunk style of Cyberpunk 2077.
