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?

That game does not look enjoyable anyway.

3 weeks is a blink of an eye in terms of AAA development time. Whatever issues they're having will likely still be there when it releases.
Assuming they don't actually delay again.

Does seem a bit silly, releasing on time and dropping a big patch a few weeks later would probably produce the same result. There are always going to be some bugs and QoL issues that slip through the cracks no matter how long the game is in development.

Oh no.. It's delayed THREE WEEEKEEEESS!!!!??? Whatever will we gamers dooo!?!?

Y'all need to chill.

And there it is... The final delay for me to pirate the game.

Oh spare me. Looking for an excuse to pirate? Just admit you were going to..

Hmmmm...

It's not like I'm gonna drop my pre-order or anything, it's just annoying. Also hard to be GOTY when releasing a third of the way into December, a lot of people won't even have time to digest one whole playthrough. So I think it potentially harms CDPR in that regard as well.

Hmmmm...

Nice, put it in the meme box.

Switch version is coming out alongside the other console releases, right?

 

[luigirockz]

I see it sticking this time on December. Reminds me of the Brawl delays back in the day

 

[StrayGuitarist]

This is absolutely hilarious. I was never interested in the game, but I’m starting to get some serious Duke Nukem Forever vibes. It’s gonna be a huge disappointment when it drops.

 

[DKB]

yeah at this point im prepared to be extremely disappointed

Some of us aren't mad because we don't get to play the game for 3 weeks, but because of the effect it'll have on crunch for the developers.

 

[TheZander]

I thought it was already delayed what's the news

 

[Bladexdsl]

I see it sticking this time on December

December rolls in...sorry there is going to be...
I'm saving this post so i can quote this when it happens

Sucks for the people who planned to play this game on release date. It's not a problem for me though as I don't even have the proper pc parts yet.

 

[playstays_shun]

They’ve lost credibility

it’s one thing to delay a game a year or years and say put it out of your mind indefinitely it’s ready when it’s ready (Metroid 4) but to move the fence post by months every few months many times, with little to no transparency

not respectful to consumers. Feels like a holiday cash In even if it isn’t

how good can the game be that it went gold and is still delayed? Not a good omen

it’s a great thing I have never cared about this one or been into the hype. If it’s great good. If it ain’t I wasn’t emotionally invested whatsoever

 

[Rail Fighter]

I will be playing it. I don't expect no masterpiece but their games aren't bad at all.
