Fans of *Cyberpunk 2077* were buzzing with excitement over a scrapped DLC that promised to take the game's action to the Moon. Blogger and dataminer SirMZK unearthed fascinating details from the game's code, revealing CD Projekt RED's grand plans for this cosmic expansion. Imagine exploring lunar surface maps, venturing into areas like the Exterior Movie Set and Drug Lab, and even driving a rover across the Moon's vast landscape. This ambitious project was set to be a quarter the size of Night City, offering an expansive open-world experience that would have taken players far beyond the familiar neon-lit streets.
One of the highlights of the proposed DLC was the Crystal Palace, an elite space station. Although it didn't make it into the final game, eagle-eyed players can spot the Crystal Palace in one of the game's endings, as V gazes out of a spaceship window. Additionally, hidden files hinted at a zero-gravity bar connected to a cut quest called "201," which was part of the Arasaka storyline. These elements showcase the innovative ideas CD Projekt RED had in mind.
While the Moon DLC remains a dream for now, fans hold onto hope that some of these concepts might find their way into CD Projekt RED's next project, *Orion*, which aims to further expand the *Cyberpunk* universe. However, no official word has come from the studio about reusing these ideas.
The uncovered details offer a tantalizing glimpse into what could have been—a bold venture into uncharted territory, blending space exploration with *Cyberpunk 2077*'s signature cyberpunk aesthetic. While this dream may not have come to fruition, it showcases the creative ambitions of the developers and leaves fans eager for what's next in the *Cyberpunk* saga.
