Night City map is not complete, yet.

[madmidder]

*MAIN STORY AND SIDEQUESTS SPOILERS*
I posted more about what have to be changed here and potential future story DLC's here​

Hey,

I want to summarize all location on Night City map, which is clearly not complete, useless or closed for some reason, yet. This thread can include story spoilers! Not everything on this list have to be accessible or we can see it in the future, but it feels so.. incomplete and sometimes "ready" for future DLC. First I want to say if you are leaving Night City map, you will get warning "TURN BACK, NOTHIN' OUT THERE FOR YOU... JUST YET." we can take it as confirmation of future map expansion.

1. Nomad starting area - Badlands
If you look at the Star ending you can think about potential expanding. There is no need to give us Arizona with Tucson. They can give us MidCoast Integrade like Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara or Drift City, in story it can be just stop to Tucson where you have to do something. Also it can connect all endings, because only in one ending you are not leaving Night City. Using Nomad starting area for 10 minutes of gameplay is weird, there are houses which are not complete and are visible on the map. You can't cross border check, even if you survive high level border security there is invisible dead zone, which kill you. You can only enter these Badlands through a bugged texture, if you do it, take a good ride, not Hypercars or Sports cars.

2. Orbital Air Space Center
There is no access to this location so this big island with airport and rockets is useless there. It can be used for Night City -> Arizona traveling, but I doubt. In endings The Devil and The Sun, we are sure V used this Space center, but that's all. Interesting location but absolutely useless on the map. (Screenshot & Screenshot II)

3. Oil Fields
Almost whole area where are Oil Fields is closed, there is a part of one mission with Johnny, but its still in accessible area. Not very interesting area, no big deal. (Blue area is closed - screenshot)

4. Biotechnika Sector 04
Same like Oil Fields, Biotechnika area is cool, but I don't need to see more. In story there is no space for it. I don't care, not very interesting. (Screenshot & Screenshot II)

5. Westbrook Casino and Club
If you look on the map, there is huge building near North Oaks, which is only on the map. You can't go there but you can see it, there is big wall and mansion. Also there is a tunnel which is closed but on the map you can see it. Check my screenshots and clip.

So after discussion on Reddit we know what's planned for this building because official Cyberpunk Twitter shared this concept art, I guess we can expect something similar to The Diamond Casino from GTA V? Exterior looks like it's not just wasted asset, we can see nice textures, parasols, chairs or hot tubs. So I really believe we can see it in the future. (video, screenshot, tunnel, clip).

6. Tunnel from Dam to badlands is closed
This is maybe planned from the beginning of designing Night City map, but why? I don't see reason to keep it closed, it can give you more ways to enter Badlands. (Screenshot electric station behind is closed too, you can't go there, sadly)

7. Badlands highway
At the end of Badlands Highway is missing bridge, I'm not saying its incomplete, but there is chance in the future it will be build and we can access Fresno Integrated Hub, whatever is it (screenshot, screenshot, screenshot)

8. Rocky Ridge in Badlands
There is only part of one mission in story where you are in Ghost Town, and this is big deal for me, because I wanted to see town in the Badlands. Maybe it was planned like that, but we have two Ghost Towns now (underwater town and Badlands town) what a shame... Thank god there is fast travel point /s

9. Night City stadium
No mission, no access, nothing.. It looks good and I hope I can take a look inside in some future DLC's, at least for one mission or GIG. (Screenshot of what's inside.. nothing )

10. Pacifica skyscrapers
I really doubt this isn't just "background decorations" and I don't believe we'll see it open in the future. I know investors left Pacifica, but it doesn't mean these half-built hotels (or whatever is it) shouldn't be open (Screenshot / screenshot). In mission M'ap Tann Pelen there is visible helicopter shooting to one of these skyscrapers and Pinguino on Youtube found (in inaccessible area) NetWatch agents (screenshot).



Here is a full size map of Cyberpunk 2077, pink zones are useless, not accessible or incomplete - Link (*updated)

Link for full Free State of North California (Night City integrates) if you want to speculate about potential map expansion.

Really amazing list! I hope the DLCs will be complete and release these areas.

But I remembered another map of California from one of the Cyberpunk 2020 sourcebooks (link).

You can cross the border using a glitch but there's nothing to do there.

That area is used in a BD related to River's quest line.

Hehe, I hope too. Thank you for the map.

Nothing very interesting, true.

Yes I know, I posted edit in this thread awhile ago.

Don't they literally say "just yet"? It will be expanded one way or another.

open your wallet for them cut content.

 

[madmidder]

Yes, as I posted above, this is summary of locked or incomplete locations.

 

[hulkman2456]

All boarders say the generic just yet. It's just a thing. I doubt they would be expanding every direction. Everything that's built outside is just used for cutscenes. With exception behind the bio garden. That had to have been more bigger. Because it does have the turn back trigger. But they barricaded the roads ahead of it. Without deleting the car paths. So they go through the walls. Not to mention have that floating building. That has a model on the map. And they never finished the wall boarder on that side. Even the warp back protection on the map. Doesn't work properly in that area. Felt rushed.

 

[UgzAube]

So much potential for extension, and yet it turns out there are other areas undiscovered.

 

[dBLOOD]

What a disappointment that place is!
It is literally half-finished, half of the place is closed.
"The police is not even patrolling there" - says some pre-recorded material. Actual lie, they spawn three metres around me out of thin air just as anywhere else.

Spoiler: Voodoo Boys

I decided to spare them recently, thinking they will give me new missions, or whatever, spoiler alert: nothing new came up, they are completely under-utilized and useless.

Yeah. Nothing is done for the Animals and VB's. They just wrote the VB missions for that Placid stuff, and that's it. I didn't kill the VB's either. I left Sasquatch alive. I'm expecting revenge side missions. NOTHING happens. The Animals are 99% useless to the game. Why was Sasquatch in the promotional material. When she does nothing, but one stupid mission. River's missions where more worthy of promo material.

Same with T-Bug tbh. Before the release, she got like three (!!) different redesigns, two full HD renders for promo material/wallpapers and also a full cosplay guide and appearance in two cinematic trailers (2018 and 2019).

In the game she lasts like 3 missions and then they drop her like a sack of potatoes. A somewhat wasted character. IMHO.

The casino.
It might not be realise as a casino, because several countries are restricting gambling in video games gtas casino was scrapped because of this. As far as I remember...

there was also a trailer where she tries to hold v back on attacking dex with her net runner skills (glowing red eyes) but got killed by him right before he was killed by dex... so she sure wasn't meant to die "offscreen"... just another cut content move...

edit: well its from the fake E3 trailer... what soever....but still : /

Or maybe the whole scene was built after the success of the trailer?

 

[Netrunner2go]

yeah its actually the fake E3 trailer - a dev talked about they had to program on purpose... : /

Er no. You can buy a Casino in GTA.

Vinewood Casino

The Vinewood Casino, also known as Be Lucky: Los Santos, is a casino appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and formerly in Grand Theft Auto Online, located on Vinewood Park Drive in East Vinewood, Los Santos, overlooking the Vinewood Racetrack. On July 23, 2019, it was replaced by The Diamond Casino &...

No it wasn't scrapped, in some counties it was restricted, but not scrapped. I think biggest problem in GTA Online was you can buy shark cards(in game $) for real money so you can spend real money on the gambling in the game. If there is not option to buy eddies, it should be fine and in lines of law (I think, I'm not law expert).
