"Cyberpunk 2077" is still a few weeks away, but a massive leak recently surfaced online, revealing the game's full physical map included in the game's release.
Alleged images of the premium content of "Cyberpunk 2077" Collector's Edition was leaked online. The details were shared on Reddit, which includes a map of Night City that shows the game's full setting in detail. The leaked Night City map is in a glossy paper format and folded several times to fit the game's Collector's Edition box.
The map's image is not high resolution making it hard to read smaller locations and finer details on the city. The roads, however, are easy to see and suburbs in the map are named clearly. The Night City map of "Cyberpunk 2077" appears to be smaller than that of the map of "The Witcher 3."
Interestingly, the leaked map reveals just how expansive the Night City is. Places like Heywood and City Center appear to be just like what most players have imagined when they think of the location as advertised in the trailers. There is also much more than the skyscrapers and the downtown area. Night City apparently has lots of mountains, suburbs, coastlines and mysterious features that players need to explore.

Apart from the physical Night City map, the leak also shared images of "Cyberpunk 2077" Collector's Edition's postcards. These images show three locations in Night City in far clearer detail. One of these locations is Pacifica, which features a Ferris Wheel and a strip-style architecture mix similar to Las Vegas.
Another image shows the Japantown postcard, which is more striking but a little less revealing. The third image shows the El Coyote Cojo bar, which plays a crucial role in "Cyberpunk 2077." Over the past months, verticality in "Cyberpunk 2077," has been discussed by devs.
CD Projekt Red Senior Concept Artist and Coordinator Marthe Jonkers shared how improved verticality in "Cyberpunk 2077" opened additional possibilities not found in "The Witcher 3." The dev also mentioned that the core of "Cyberpunk 2077" lies on the city and the devs have approached this in a hollistic manner.
Jonkers mentioned that "we started with very big ideas of the city and then went into detail and detail and detail and detail. We have an urban planner in the team, for instance, which really helps us with the map and the layout to make the city feel very realistic."
"Cyberpunk 2077" arrives on November 17. It releases on various gaming platforms like PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5, Stadia, and Xbox Series X/S supportfollowing soon.
