Cyberpunk 2077 was originally planned to have not one, but two expansions, as hinted by CD Projekt RED. Recent leaks suggest that the second expansion was intended to take place on the Moon, with early materials surfacing online.
The information was revealed by an anonymous source on 4Chan, claiming that details of the lunar expansion were part of a significant data breach at CDPR in 2021. Among the leaked content was a 2013 build featuring a third-person view and an internal bug reel.

The anonymous source shared insights on the Moon expansion:
- Choosing the Moon as a DLC setting makes sense given the game’s ties to Earth’s satellite. Lore suggests the Moon is colonized, with two major cities housing around 58,000 inhabitants.
- The Moon area in the DLC was planned to cover 36 square kilometers, compared to Night City’s 75 square kilometers.
- A lunar rover was to be introduced as a new mode of transportation.
- Locations included a lunar residential base, an unidentified facility, an electromagnetic catapult for space launches, and a drug lab.
While some fans may hold out hope for a surprise Moon expansion, CDPR has confirmed that no further work on Cyberpunk 2077 will occur after April 30, 2024. The company is now focused on new projects like “The Witcher” and a sequel to “Cyberpunk.”
