Cyberpunk 2077 cut moon missions revealed in new leaks

Recent leaks of "Cyberpunk 2077" files stolen from developer CD Projekt Red in 2021 have surfaced online, revealing potential scrapped missions set on the moon. The leaked content includes images of concept art, blueprints, file repositories, and map data that hint at a possible cancelled expansion for the game. CD Projekt Red has declined to comment on these allegations. The moon, an important hub in "Cyberpunk 2077" lore, is accessible in the game and features significantly in the "Cyberpunk Edgerunners" animated series. Despite the immense amount of post-launch content scrapped due to the game's problematic release in 2020, CD Projekt Red eventually released the "Phantom Liberty" expansion after a series of significant updates that revamped the game's mechanics and AI.

The moon missions were likely scrapped due to the overwhelming issues the game faced upon its release, prompting CD Projekt Red to shift their focus towards fixing and improving the existing game rather than expanding it with additional content.

"Cyberpunk 2077" was released on December 10, 2020, and encountered a rocky launch plagued with numerous bugs and performance issues, especially on last-gen consoles. In response, CD Projekt Red prioritized rectifying these problems, implementing major updates like 2.0, which included a new perk system and improved AI. The "Phantom Liberty" expansion became the sole post-launch expansion to bolster the game's content. The moon's significance in "Cyberpunk 2077" lore is not only captured briefly within the game but also highlighted in the "Cyberpunk Edgerunners" series, making the scrapped missions even more intriguing for fans of the franchise.
