After undergoing multiple delays, one of 2020's most anticipated games, Cyberpunk 2077, was apparently set to release in a few weeks on November 19th, especially after having gone gold. But even this did not stop one more delay as CD Projekt Red, the game's developer, announced via a tweet today that their game will be pushed back by 21 days and has now a new release date for December 10th:

​

The reason for the delay is to allocate extra time to better prepare and optimize it for its 9 versions (current and next gen) that will launch simultaneously. As the tweet clarifies, going gold means that all content is ready and the game is fully playable but that doesn't mean improvements are out of question.

Do you think Cyberpunk 2077 will indeed release on December 10th or will it be delayed further into next year?

dude you're a genius!

This is ridiculous. Putting all their developers under crunch, promising that the release is right around the corner, don’t worry!!! No. Figure it out, and stop baiting your fanbase and taking advantage of your workers.

HERE TO REMIND EVERYONE, THEY ARE EATING THEIR OWN PROMISE.

the game was delayed multiple times, CDPR in one of communication even confirmed that there won't any further delay, this is SIMPLY RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE.

It's as if they shouldn't have spout out a release date so early in development.
It's also like they shouldn't have set more definitive release dates after they fucked up the first few.
Lesson to be learned: Don't set a release date unless you're sure.
Yes there are tough circumstances but this many delays is comical

Funny how fans of this game that is not even out yet, don't make a wail about a day 0 patch...

Now, about the game, I think this many delays have already dented the experience. I'm not going to buy it anytime soon, but I just hope that it lives up to the expectations of the fans, because I can't stop thinking that this one is the most over-hyped game I have ever heard about.

By the time it comes out it will be a historical setting instead of sci fi.

Eh. I hope for Solarpunk 2077 instead, by that point.

I don't even care that it's delayed. I care that it was delayed despite going into crunch mode. Stall all you want, but don't hurt your employees.

they should have just stuck to one version: PC and fuck the rest! it would have been out by now than

Why in the name of god would they do that?

 

[RyRyIV]

Well, this has definitely gone from "I can't wait to play it" to "maybe I'll pick it up on a Steam sale." It's just so hard to care anymore.

this is not how game industry works, PC Master race players are just minority, the console market combined make them 2/3 of total sales.

I don't think I've ever seen a game get delayed after going gold before...what the hell.

 

[sudeki300]

maybe their getting cold feet that it ain't gonna live up to the hype.

 

[SuperDan]

I Reckon it will be worth the wait ! ......

 

[Jonna]

This game has to be the most over hyped, POS game I have ever seen. Even after all this wait, it's going to be so disappointing when people find out that it was nothing more than a money grab attempt by Projekt Red. An attempt to cash in on the GTA success that Rockstar has had over there years. Hence the reason why people are starting to call this game GTA 2077.

GTA 2077 sounds awesome, now I'm even more hyped for this game!

 

[erikas]

I read the news and i am sad.

 

[wonkeytonk]

Take your time. It'll be worth it.

 

[Noctosphere]

says december 9th on my Steam

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Take your time. It'll be worth it.

EA was a pioneer in this case with their
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
