Moon colonies feature heavily in Cyberpunk lore and parts of 2077’s story.
First reported by Insider Gaming, users on 4chan have shared assets purportedly originating from the 2021 CD Projekt hack that show a lunar surface area either cut from Cyberpunk 2077 or intended for a canceled DLC.
The initial post characterizes these images as coming from a canceled DLC that would have taken place during a new «corporate war», and compares its scope to the Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine expansion. That interpretation, as well as the images’ provenance, should be taken with a grain of salt, but the extent of what’s on display, including an out-of-bounds view of one area that includes Cyberpunk’s HUD, leads me to believe they are legitimate.
The thread includes screenshots of file directories: the parent file is «02_moon», and it contains folders like «arisaka_lab», «cosmodrome», and «bomb_crater_set.» A map mock up indicates the moon area was planned to be six square kilometers, or about a quarter the size of the base game’s map, with areas like an «NC (Night City?) Base», «HR Settlement», and the enticing «Drug Lab.
