I know space is confirmed, but almost no one is talking about visiting the Moon. Is visiting the Moon confirmed, and will we have missions and be able to purchase lunar apartments, .etc?
Close this spoilerino.
No one will answer because we just don't know. Don't get hyped about features that maybe won't be there.
(But in Cyberpunk 2020, there was space colonies but not the Moon if I remember well.)

Imagine attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. IC-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. That would be awesome.

Space is just not cyberpunk environment. Space is great as a background. What's the ESA, Highrides and USAF are up to again, etc. But as a place for questing, not really. And it smells like "The last mission is in space and you die"
Neuromancer climaxed in space and that was the weakest part of the story. Or maybe it was just Gibson, who always have a problem with the third acts. (I know, I'm being blasphemous )
On the Moon, in orbit, on Mars. There were massive space battleships and shit. But that's not cyberpunk. That's the background. When you go into space it ceases to be cyberpunk. Space is just to sterile. It's no place for a street samurai.
There were colonies on the moon.
Or DLC/expansions, perhaps. Tease the idea of moon activity in the main game, then release an expansion that delves deeper. You heard of the Crystal Palace, I think it's called? It's some big moon casino or something in Cyberpunk 2020.
I think DLC should be roles, let player experience roles like Nomad, Media, Corp, Rockeyboy etc. Players tend to go crazy over "classes" at least they have before. Yeah, theres 10 roles, they could keep the hype going for long long time. New Role every 3 month, they could keep it going 2 year.
It should work especially if they throw some music and new kind of fashion with it too. Cool character story of course.

I'm not so sure space is "confirmed".
We have a clip of someone being assassinated while in a suborbital transport, probably just a shuttle between say Night City and Tokyo. No indication 'V' ever gets to ride in it, much less any that we go to the moon. If CDPR wants to add space to CP2077 there are a LOT of system mechanics needed to make that environment "believable".
If we get space I'd expect it as a DLC not part of the initial game.

Or just a small closed place, like, end of the game or a special mission maybe
I’ve always found cyberpunk (the genre) in outer space a cool, intriguing setting full of possibilities that don’t necessarily have to clash with the High Tech, Low Life mantra. So, even though I don’t require it nor expect it in the game, I’d of course dig it if it were there If it did, though, it’d probably be in either (or both?) of these scenarios:

If it did, though, it’d probably be in either (or both?) of these scenarios:- The least ambitious: a quest on an Orbital Air shuttle.
- The most ambitious: an expansion set in a space station like Crystal Palace.

As much as i want to do the run on the villa Straylight up the well on Freeside station, is probably a bit on the nose in a game called Cyberpunk 2077.
Agreed. The Cyberpunk universe isn't just about the city, it's the entire world and then some. Of course, people won't really like the idea of Cyberpunk space missions/side-quests/free-roaming, but seeing how CDprojektred is proceeding with the game, I have a lot of faith in the developers. I'm sure it will work out.I’ve always found cyberpunk (the genre) in outer space a cool, intriguing setting full of possibilities that don’t necessarily have to clash with the High Tech, Low Life mantra.

Still, unless V finds themself in very special circumstances (e.g. a rich benefactor, an exceptional fixer, some crazy software other than the immortality chip, etc.), I find it difficult to picture an edgerunner like them having the in-world resources for said scenarios
