Cyberpunk 2077’s Planned Lunar DLC: Unreleased Space Expansion Details Revealed

Cyberpunk 2077’s scrapped lunar DLC, a project of ambitious scale, has been partially unveiled thanks to dataminer SirMZK. Leaks reveal extensive plans for a moon-based expansion, featuring detailed lunar surface maps, distinct zones like an "Exterior Movie Set" and a "Drug Lab," and even a functional rover model. The sheer size of this intended location is staggering—potentially a quarter the size of Night City itself, promising a vast, open-world exploration experience far removed from the game's familiar urban sprawl.

Central to this DLC would have been the Crystal Palace, an elite space station glimpsed briefly in one of Cyberpunk 2077's endings. Game files also hint at a zero-gravity bar and a cut quest, "201," connected to the Arasaka storyline. This suggests a complex narrative interwoven with the unique challenges of a lunar setting.

While CD Projekt RED has not confirmed whether elements of this ambitious DLC will reappear in their upcoming "Orion" project, the unearthed details offer a compelling glimpse into what might have been: a daring expansion of Cyberpunk 2077, seamlessly blending space exploration with the franchise's distinctive cyberpunk atmosphere. The potential for this lost content remains a source of fascination for fans.
