The world ofCyberpunk 2077is filled with fascinating points of lore. Around every corner of Night City lies compelling characters and intriguing bits of detail. Getting to interact with and observe the various charactersCyberpunk 2077showcases really makes the game feel alive, especially when it comes to the many gangs permeating the world.
Thegangs of Night Cityprotect their respective territories, but there are still groups that have disbanded before the events ofCyberpunk 2077. The Bozos, a clown-inspired street gang, may have been long gone before the year 2077, but one strange NPC shows that remnants of the gang could still live on. Ozob Bozo has become an iconic NPC, thanks to his clownish appearance, and his possible return in the upcoming sequel, Project Orion, could pave the way for the Bozo gang to reform.
Project Orion Should Bring Ozob Bozo and the Bozo Gang Back Into Action

Although he is a minor character within the greater story ofCyberpunk 2077, Ozob Bozo is one of the most fascinating character designs featured in the game. With his ridiculous haircut and cherry red grenade-modded nose reminiscent of a clown nose, Ozob’s circus influence is overwhelmingly clear. Players are even able tofind Ozob’s clown car in Westbrook, further showcasing the character’s dedication to this imagery.
It’s clear that Ozob Bozo has a connection to the disbanded Bozo gang, but just because the group isn’t active inCyberpunk 2077doesn’t mean that they have to be gone for good.Project Orion can revamp the gangsfeatured throughout the game, but it can also benefit from bringing new groups into the fold. According toCyberpunk 2077lore, the Bozos first formed in the 2020s as a prankster gang. However, as the years passed, the Bozos fell into internal power struggles that ultimately caused the gang to splinter off into factions. By the time 2077 rolled around, the gang had completely left Night City. Now that Ozob has made his way back to town, it could set the stage for the gang to rise back up into power.

From the Tyger Claws to the BARGHEST,Cyberpunk 2077’s gangs are all fascinating in their own right. However, throwing a clown-influenced prankster gang into the narrative could be the bonkers kick that adds a fun amount of chaos to Project Orion. As of now, there is no tellingwhere Project Orion’s story is headed, but if recent rumors are to be believed, the Bozos may not be featured in Night City at all.

Project Orion may be in its early stages, but that hasn’t slowed down the rumor mill. One of the biggest rumors circulating about Project Orion is that it may be set on the moon.Project Orion’s possible moon settingcould be a compelling change of scenery. Not only would this introduce a surprising location, but it could also be the perfect way to showcase new gangs.Cyberpunk 2077’s lore makes it clear that the Bozos have been absent from Night City for decades, but that doesn’t mean they are completely extinct. It’s highly possible that a splintered faction of the Bozos made its way to the mysterious moon colony.
If this happens to be the case, either Ozob Bozo finding his way to the moon colony or another member of the Bozos taking over the gang could be a fascinating way to explore the group. There are bound to bebold changes in Project Orion, and finally getting to see what the Bozo gang is all about would be an unexpected way to expand the franchise’s lore.
