Fans of *Cyberpunk 2077* were buzzing with excitement over the prospect of an ambitious DLC set in space, specifically on the Moon, but sadly, this project was ultimately shelved. Blogger and dataminer SirMZK has meticulously compiled leaks and files from the game's code, providing a glimpse into CD Projekt RED's grand vision for this cosmic expansion.

Delving into the game's files, enthusiasts discovered references to lunar surface maps, structured zones like the Exterior Movie Set and Drug Lab, and even a model of a rover. The Moon location was envisioned to be expansive, potentially covering a quarter of the size of Night City, and would feature an open-world design. This would have offered players a thrilling new dimension to the gameplay experience, taking them far beyond the neon-lit streets they've come to know and love.

One of the most intriguing elements 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 catch a glimpse of the Crystal Palace in one of the endings, when V looks out of a spaceship window. Moreover, files unearthed a prototype for a zero-gravity bar connected to a cut quest named "201," which was linked to the Arasaka storyline.

While the Moon DLC remains a distant dream, fans remain hopeful that some of these innovative ideas might be revived in CD Projekt RED's upcoming project, *Orion*, which aims to expand the *Cyberpunk* universe. However, there has been no official word from the studio on whether these concepts will be reused.

Although the Moon DLC is now a lost dream, the uncovered details paint a vivid and fascinating picture of what could have been—a bold leap for *Cyberpunk 2077* into uncharted territory, seamlessly blending space exploration with the game’s iconic cyberpunk aesthetic.
