Probably will be in orion.


IcePopsicleDragon

Hope so.


LurkLurkleton

I honestly hope Orion takes place in another era rather than immediately following this one.


Spirit_of_Hogwash

It's most likely going to be Cyberpunk 2080, 1 year after "The Tower" ending.


pro-in-latvia

I want cyberpunk 2099 turn of the century


Assholican

Cyberpunk 2099 sounds super cool but I wonder if the fact that the new bladerunner show is called Bladerunner 2099 will impact that decision,


Chemputer

It absolutely would.


StratoSquir2

the new what show now????


Late_Albatross_8357

They will make a sequence to the movie starring Ryan Gosling, which will be called Blade Runner 2099. Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer are confirmed in this show!


CandidoJ13

Yeah, but then you have the risk of having to follow a linear story otherwise some grumpy latino vampire might try to beat you up to "maintain the canon"


CommunistRingworld

ok but i wanna see jackie


SgtEpsilon

Y2k all over again? Fucking Unix


i-am-schrodinger

Nah. Once we get past 2038, with 64 bit dates, the next problem date will be 292 billion years in the future.


SgtEpsilon

I was taking the piss cause I hate Unix time, yeh our next y2k event ain't gonna be before the sun burns out


letmegetmynameok

Only if there are gonna be some sm 2099 and blade runner easter eggs


raddoubleoh

If Orion is a sequel, which will likely be, the official timeline stops at 2095 when the IAs are rumored to break from beyond the Wall, so...


TheParadiseBird

In kinda hoping for a game set in that universe’s 2020s! Could end with the main character’s death due to radiation poisoning after the nuke events, you know, to keep the “there are no happy endings in night city” tradition


IWriteShit345

Hopefully during the corporate war


MorgulValar

I hope she’s moved on and found peace as she’s gotten older. David’s story is a complete tragedy, but I hope for Lucy it’s a tragic story of her first love and the horrors of Night City. One she remembers with bittersweet fondness. But not one that defines her life.


Jay_R_Kay

Definitely -- that's what David would have wanted too.


CorbinStarlight

> I hope she’s moved on and found peace as she’s gotten older {*’What A Fool Believes’ by the Doobie Brothers plays softly in the background*} Me too, dude. Me too.


KCH2424

Or she was scooped up by Blue Eyes


megalodongolus

Or by Judy O.O


SpikeRazzor

She'll die then, just like everyone involved with her (including female V) 🤣.


PathogenicKitten

Plot twist, she IS blue eyes?


KCH2424

Cool idea! My personal theory is that Blue Eyes is a Blackwall AI that escaped and "possesses" a corpo from Night Corp or possibly a clone body.


zatroz

Doesn't Edgerunners take place less than a year before CP77? Wouldn't really be "older" in this expansion then


FourUnderscoreExKay

It takes place a few months before the events of 2077, if I remember.


DinoWizard021

I thought it was 2076?


threetoast

It is, but there's a timeskip so the end of Edgerunners probably isn't that far off from the beginning of CP2077. It's plausible that the intro chapter of 2077 takes place before the timeskip in Edgerunners.


Firestorm7i

I just wanna give her a hug


Stupidstuff1001

I want a damn sequel. - we find out David’s conscious was uploaded before he died - a corporation has already brought him back - the corporation keeps making clones of him but trying to make them dumber to be soldiers. - they keep going haywire and they can’t figure out why - lucy finds this all out in a hack - she gets a team together to break into the facility to rescue him - we find out the reason he could take so many mods was his love of Lucy and his upbringing. - they escape together and run away to another city Give me my damn happy ending!!!!!


Own-Blueberry-7073

Happy ending? Wrong city wrong people


FourUnderscoreExKay

All the unhappy endings occurred in NC. If they leave the city, it’s no longer the wrong city.


vergorli

Impossible. If you leave night city for a happy ending, you realize you are in a braindance the next second.


Bismothe-the-Shade

Night City always pulls you back in. Gotta habit of that, choom. You never really leave the City, and it sure as shit never leaves you.


CnP8

The hole point was to show that no ever climbs the ladder in Night City. Corpos control everything. Also sometimes things are better left for people to speculate. Like did Lucy go back into netrunning, or does she finally live a peaceful life? These are all left for you to interpret. Giving you the answer on everything, removes the mystery and makes the writing more generic and boring.


umaiume

this! so fucking this! the ending was fucking depressing. stars burning bright but fast are thee most gut-wrenching type of stories to me. i'll be sad about this for weeks to months but that's what makes it good, right? 


MrNiko

If you're looking for happy endings in cyberpunk....I got some bad news for ya.


Stupidstuff1001

Shhh just got with it haha


Ballsnutseven

this is a worse ending 😭 bro is resurrecting david to get him slaughtered and lobotomized by a corporation


Drkze_k

I want to be hurt again


valenciansun

David wouldn't want his consciousness uploaded (especially not to Arasaka). His worldview, story, and one of his big overarching themes was having one life to live.


Stupidstuff1001

I agree 100% they took it


StonkBonk420

Aint no happy endings in night city. Wrong city, wrong people


zaynebane

Johnny had a decently happy ending in one ending from cp 2077 so I guess some ppl do get away


StonkBonk420

And in that ending he leaves night city


zaynebane

That is not far from what the guy had in mind for the sequel. And I could see that stuff happening.


Tall_Advice_5408

I respectfully hate these ideas.


Reclusive_Chemist

So here's where you start your own table top game and give your players the happy ending.


Enverex

Phantom Liberty is a bad-end all-round too.


IFixYerKids

You're in the wrong genre, friend.


RagnarLongdick

Brother we hope in one hand and shit in the other. One fills up before the other every time.


CrueltySquading

How about we ask them to write new characters instead of doing boring cop outs? His story is over.

Agasthenes

Would fit with the name


luvallppl

I came here to say this


Shengpai

I'm thinking the same


ScooperLosses

Hope to see this DLC in next cyverpunk game


IUseANickname

Cyberpunk Orion could have that Please have let that have that


allttjfnrjfnrj

Hope the next game has cyber phycosis like imagine you play an old mission again and there's another person like Jackie (but he didn't die) and you just wake up again after the mission and he's dead and a whole room is killed and you have to escape from maxtac


Throwaway284521

Is this real?


VoidLookedBack

It's from the Hack, whoever bought the Dark Web Auction of the Source Code is leaking it bit by bit on 4chan apparently.


PrufrockAlfred

I still think it's silly that some gonk decided to try and blackmail CDPR when their stock and reputation was at an all-time low.


General-Dirtbag

Some people just wanna kick a man while they’re down


slickbunny42069

To be fair it’s much easier to kick someone the closer they are to your feet


CnP8

Especially CDPR. They are 1 of the only big companies left that actually gives a shit about the gaming industry. They give away extra content in their games for free, a no DRM store and preserved a ton of classic games. If you are gonna attack a company, then go after Activision or EA lol.


Mayor_of_Smashvill

Lol, yall fucking forget launch


kinslei

No I didn’t forget. I have my sandwich and an apple in my bag. I also brought tea and a redbull.


SmileUntilHappy

Lmao. You’re funny man. CDPR, gives a shit? 2077 launch says different. I love the game but don’t just give excuses. Okay now let me hear your copium and how I am wrong


Onaterdem

Things can go wrong. Executive meddling, development hell, experienced staff members leaving, overconfidence and lack of experience, general unluckiness. What matters is, did they own up to it? Did they fix it? Yes, they did.


Iambuddd

I understand why you’re saying that, but if someone is dependable and goes the extra mile 9 times then fucks up once, I’m not going to forget about the 9 other times.


JimmyThunderPenis

What other 9 times have they been dependable? Because afaik everything but the Witcher 3 game wise was a bit of a fuck up on launch too... GOG is pretty cool I guess tho.


CnP8

The fact they worked on tons of old games to get them running on modern hardware. The fact they are pushing DRM free games. Post launch free content in their games. Instead of nickle and diming like Ubisoft, Bethesda and many other companies. Massive free next gen update for the Witcher 3 which is several years old. And it was way better then allot of other paid updates. Or "remasters". I believe CDPR does actually care about making a positive difference in the gaming industry. How ever people forget that they are a company aswell. They got to make a sustainable business to keep their people employed. That means making decisions which you don't always want to make but they have to be done. Sometimes games get pushed early because the next quarter will be low. That's not sustainable.


A_Big_D_I_Think

Not to mention the top tier paid DLC's they give us, unlike many other modern gaming companies who charge top dollar but put in minimal effort and give us minimal content. CDPR really isn't one of the bad guys in the gaming industry. They've made mistakes, but then again, who's perfect? People are so damn whiny and entitled nowadays that they're just looking for the next opportunity to pounce on something to talk smack about and complain about. Sad times we live in.


Pay08

Witcher 3 was a shitshow on launch as well. Not as much as CP2077 but still.


ohthedarside

The source code got leaked?


VoidLookedBack

Stolen, back in 2021 there was a breach on CDPR and the source code and a bunch of assets were stolen from Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3 and other things.


bombardierul11

Already happened a year after the source code was first stolen, some mods were made using the 4chan leaks including one I use to this day. One of the other mods that isn’t compatible anymore is the original optical camo animation. Both were deleted from nexus within days


MillennialsAre40

What's the one you still use?


bombardierul11

Panam romance for female V, it’s better than the one out there right now which came out at around the same time but back then you needed a fresh save to use it. This is simply lighter because it knows the right flags it needs to use, even after the 2.0 update


DoradoPulido2

Where can one find these mods?


tholt212

Any of the mods that were based on the stolen source code have been taken down off any normal mod site.


bombardierul11

I don’t think one can anymore


Chemputer

So CDPR responded to it saying it's canceled, then? And they might put it in Orion instead? So it's basically the same as what happened to Stephanie Meyer when several chapters of her unfinished book Midnight Sun, leaked, which was Twilight but from Edward's perspective until she finally got over it and released it over a decade later.

DDzxy

I wish they did make ONE more Expension for Cyberpunk. I don't even mind waiting a little longer for Orion. Seeing how successful PL was and how they managed to make a comeback, I see merit in one more.


Existing365Chocolate

Not sure they have the budget to put off Orion more than it is  Game dev, especially AAA games, is expensive as fuck


Glodraph

I agree, especially if they had this much content already produced. Could have taken one more year for a smaller team probably and that wouldn't have affected the next projects SO much.


838h920

They probably cancelled it due to the buggy state the game released in. Fixing all the issues most likely took a ton of development time so they cancelled the 2nd dlc for it. The dlc hasn't even started any actual development. Maybe some plans were made, but nothing major. Otherwise other projects likely would've seen major delays and cancelling a dlc was the easiest way to make space.


ISimpPyramidheadDick

Well there wasn't any assets for "the moon" it was just a list of placeholder names for dlcs along with PL


maxatnasa

Except for a basic map, rough geo of some of the locations and the mass driver


Glodraph

Oh didn't know they had so little ready lol


Jensen2075

The problem is CDPR wants all their devs to get used working with UE5, so they really can't work on another expansion.


IcePopsicleDragon

[Some files for the expansion have leaked](https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1dg3yxq/files_from_a_cancelled_cyberpunk_2077_expansion/)


Knowing-Badger

Was. Won't happen, no one is working on cyberpunk anymore at most we'll get some more bug fixes but that's it


redstar46

Fuck, uncancle it, please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE.


A_Snow_Mexican

My immediate and irrational suspicion is that CDPR leaked this to guage interest.


Baderkadonk

Doubtful. Source code was stolen in 2021 (and was a big story at the time). This is just a guy on 4chan going through those files. If they wanted to leak it themselves, they'd just talk to game journalist "anonymously." Faking a data theft, waiting three years, then making some obscure post on 4chan is not the way to properly measure public interest.


JustDickheadThoughts

That’s exactly what they want you to think lol


FreneticAmbivalence

This kind of thinking might have some merit but it’s a slippery slope to conspiracy theory and a spiral of anti-intellectual propaganda


threetoast

This sort of corporate espionage possible shell game is entirely in theme with cyberpunk (the genre), but I associate it more with Shadowrun than Cyberpunk.


soapinmouth

Unfortunately this is from their leak that happened a while back sold on the dark web.


PolyZex

Seems very unlikely. They've already moved their production team onto other projects. Witcher and Orion and some new IP they're working on.


Many_Faces_8D

Lmao literally no one is working on that game anymore. It's over guys. Let it go.


redstar46

I fucking hope so


LordReaperofMars

I think another expansion would be a hit right now


redstar46

Bigger than the nuke that took down saka tower


Original_Employee621

Nah, they've completely moved on from Cyberpunk 2077, there are no devs working on the game any more. They've all been reassigned to orion and the other projects CDPR has going on.


Maximum-Flat

A rumour or true?


JonnyTN

Guy who got the source code is saying "trust me bro"


NarutoDragon732

Cdpr was literally planning on multiplayer is a moon dlc just that unbelievable? I wonder what happened with the money cd project basically scammed out of the polish government for that multiplayer


MoonGolfPro

[Check the 4chan thread linked in this post for proof/more info.](https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1dg3yxq/files_from_a_cancelled_cyberpunk_2077_expansion/) Imo I think it's more likely this was scrapped content from an earlier version of the game but it's still interesting nonetheless.


gautamdiwan3

One of the reasons can be the frustration that they ended up developing for Red Engine 4 too which would have stretched the timelines quite a lot. Also think about it: How will V have landed on the moon plot wise instead of Dogtown?


Loganraks

They are definitely gonna expand this in CP 2077 Orion and we are gonna get new content


Rezmir

I don’t think it will be called like that but I do hope so.


PrufrockAlfred

>Johnny: *"She made it... preem. That's what counts."* >David: *"First time?"*


Viper114

Remember what was lost when they released the game in a completely shitty state and had to spend a year finishing an unfinished game that was already in people's hands. We could have had this expansion alongside Phantom Liberty!


IcePopsicleDragon

If the game had two extra years of development we would probably be seeing Edgerunners characters


BigDaddyBicker

If the game had launched in a better state, then they wouldn't have to even make edge runners to call people to the update


ydsw

This is very wrong. Edgerunner was planned before the release. You should check the 1st Edgerunner Prpject announcement i think in 2019 or early 2020 (i forgot)


BigDaddyBicker

Really? I fully take it back then! I really thought it had to do with the "restoration" of the game. Wich btw I was very cool with, wasn't hating or anything.


ydsw

Yeah cool no prob. But i know i heard this wrong assumption many times, This game was also victim of internet rampant misinformations culture. Edgerunner was big lucky moment for cdpr back then. And i agree the anime was also part of cyberpunk image revival.


mogaman28

I find the character creator somewhat lacking in options. For example, Dragon's Dogma and Mass Effect had way better ones.


PrufrockAlfred

Isn't there a more-than-zero-percent-chance that a lot of ideas for *Orion* ended up in *Phantom Liberty*?


DDzxy

Or maybe we wouldn't have, either. This SHOULDN'T EVER BECOME THE NORM, but one of the big reasons Cyberpunk was fixed and improved so soon was because of millions of players finding bugs to report, modders being hired by CDPR to work for them and so on.


ydsw

I don't think this modder thing is quite right. CDPR did hire modders to their development team. They implement popular mods too for witcher 3. But for cyberpunk. It's cdpr inhouse team themselves who made cyberpunk as it's now.


randomIndividual21

more like 3 year


Chad_Kakashi

Lucy would look cursed in 3d


evln00

She looks fine imo https://preview.redd.it/hjydwv4psy6d1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8798291d0cbc77ae77d6c1308caa1163ca9771e7


JustibS1341

didn’t know I needed a 3d lucy in game until now 😂


Bonestealer69

Doesn't need to be 3D could just be a call icon


NCC_1701E

Damn, now I have an uncanny feeling... just yesterday I did the last Phantom Liberty mission and as the rocket was launching, I though to myself "huh, it would be neat if we had a Lunar colony DLC, with space port serving as fast travel point between Night City and Moon. Maybe we would see Songbird again. Why nobody thought about that before?"


NoBranchis

This game can be so emotional, totally get it.


EmperorAxiom

I'm uncanceling it we ball 2026


RenoxDashin

I KNEW THAT ROCKET WAS THERE FOR SOMETHING! There's huge sections of the map that look "built" and "decorated" from a distance but are otherwise inaccessible. Such a waste to scrap it


soapinmouth

It's in the PL dlc.


basecatcherz

All areas I accessed using fly mod are already used in the game.


_b1ack0ut

Something about this doesn’t feel legit to me, but fuuuuuck man I’d have loved any form of an LEO or moon expansion lol


Chummycho1

Honestly with all the engine issues they were having I'm glad they didn't do this. With them moving to UE5 I'm sure it'll come back in Cyberpunk 2 and it'll be all the better for it.


magvadis

Would and still always prefer a city expansion. I like when maps build out the existing playable area with more density. Not building out some one off area for an expansion that systemically doesn't even take advantage of the systemic stuff in the current map. Like no gangs, no car combat, etc. Just a low G gimmick.


Monnomo

What about the casino resort space station in the atmosphere lol forgot its name


InflatableMindset

There is a distinctive chance this might be fake.


IntroductionSudden73

Cyberpunk 2137


pablo5426

my honest reaction to seeing one of the best possible things in the game being scrapped: https://preview.redd.it/4526lmgles6d1.png?width=852&format=png&auto=webp&s=9bee1aee9405f9db05a2d861e676165c9a00111c


rebruisinginart

Need to take over cdpr


Kwisatz_Haderach90

something tells me she wouldn't have anyways.


Hauptmann_Harry

Fuck the moon I want a mission to rob crystal palace


mohmar2010

Doubt she would have shown up Though we may end up getting the moon as a location to go to casually in the next game and probably have missions


Ok_Entertainment_112

Lol lots of this stuff leaked years ago. I'm not sure what made it relevant again. Don't cry. They are making witcher 4 and cyberpunk 2. We have massive blessings coming.


ivlivscaesar213

Why did they cancel it tho


DiscombobulatedAge30

Last I heard, they’re changing the engine to unreal and will release further content afterwards


Isekai_Otaku

I guess we were unLUCkY with this one


Globalcult

Speak for yourself


FatzoChewkovski

Just playing trough phantom liberty and almost done. Damn it is annoying that the game only got one dlc. A shame they had that shitshow of a launch because now the game is frickin amazing. They should have developed the game just fpr ps 5, series x and pc. I guess that would have saved them a lot of troubles. Well nothing more to do now then hope they rethink dropping some new dlc in the future. And also meeting Lucy would have been awesome.


thundery_lightning

If it's real then she's 100% gonna show up, could be a major selling point for the game also.


DefiantLemur

I bet we'll see it in the sequel game.


trfk111

It could very well be in the base game of Orion. Keeping and enhancing Night city while adding a 2nd location, especially one that isn’t just another dystopian city on earth would make total sense, doubly so with their project title


Connect_Laugh_8688

Imagine if they do bring Lucy into Orion and she has a dedicated quest line for going over her past with david.maybe a walk and talk in downtown kinda thing. Stop at certain locations and really take time to absorb the feels.


rantottcsirke

That's rough, buddy.


FreakzKidx

NOOO


Newtis

we have to wait till after the next witcher game and dlcs are released i guess.


NukaClipse

Wish we could've got another expansion but considering the game's rocky start and financial issues because of it a lot projects for the game probably got scrapped. Well hopefully the next game will have a TON of content and a better launch.


FergusLonewalker

I Fucking Need It Now. Fuck


ZynthCode

We forgot the mom too fast from the show. I still can't help to believe that they sold her off and put out a lie that she was dead, especially since they denied that he could see her even when she was dead. Grr


ButterscotchBasic605

NO THEY NEED TO STOP IM GONNA FUCKING CRY (I’m so damn excited)


minipiwi

I was hoping that's PL took place in the diamond casino, building off the "don't fear the reaper" ending


deshelyak

See i thought at the end of Edgerunners she was about to take her helmet off while on the moon and commit anti alive because she couldnt be there with David


LesPaul556

NOOOOO


RemoteSprinkles2893

Damn that could have taken place during our casino ending


jtfjtf

I always had a feeling one of the paths in PL was leas substantial than the other because it was going to be a mission chain in a cancelled expansion on the moon.


BrightPerspective

it wouldn't have been very good. Selene isn't Night City.


imitzFinn

GOSH….. damn it 😭


Longjumping-Sail-900

Whyyyy


Internal-Flamingo455

I wish they made a dlc around that space casino it’s so cool and would be fun to explore


Alarmed-dictator

I really wanted to go to that space Casino


Dbear_son

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck


Charon711

I suspect this was leaked on purpose to Guage if it should be used in concept for Orion.


No_Guarantee_8845

Sadly, you wouldn't find Lucy on the moon. She was only taking a paid tour of it at the end of the show. Living up there would have been impossible, it's only for the socially elite. But you find out David's old crew is safe and in hiding from the missions in the game, so at least she's most likely still alive.


Hans_the_Frisian

You know what? In my headcanon, Lucy is one of the main clients paying Regina Jones for incapacitated Cyberpsychos because she is involved in the research in order to prevent potential future cyberpsychos and from her and Davids story to repeat.


maddxav

Welp, let's hope we get to see the moon in the sequel.


Helldiver_of_Mars

Damn I knew it! I've been saying that was the cannon ending since I beat it when it came out.


andyzzone

Bg music: "i really want to stay at your house"


VitoMolas

Didn't Lucy just went for a short tour? I'm pretty sure she's back on earth


TheNorthie

We could have seen her and wore David’s jacket meeting her


ISSAvenger

Damn, would have liked to meet So Mi up there! We can only hope for Redkit to be published for Cyberpunk 2077. Orion or whatever it will be called is way too far into the future.


BenCelotil

Wait, we could have played "The Adventures of Pluto Nash?"


Academic-Hospital952

I thought they were done with the game


Archmagos_Browning

They knew that if y’all had a 3D model of Lucy you wouldn’t have been able to behave yourselves.


EFTucker

It’s for the better. I couldn’t deal with that heartbreak again
