CD Projekt Red’s role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 is being delayed from April 16th to September 17th. “We are currently at a stage where the game is complete and playable, but there’s still work to be done,” the studio tweeted in an announcement explaining the move. “Night City is massive — full of stories, content, and places to visit, but due to the sheer scale and complexity of it all, we need more time to finish playtesting, fixing, and polishing. We want Cyberpunk 2077 to be our crowning achievement for this generation, and postponing launch will give us the precious months we need to make the game perfect.”

Cyberpunk 2077 has been in the works since at least 2013, but CD Projekt Red has only started really showing off extended gameplay in the past year. The game is supposed to be packed with sci-fi combat mechanics, body mods, vehicles, narrative choices, and romance options, so it’s not a stretch to imagine those things taking some more time to get right.

A multiplayer component for Cyberpunk 2077 was also originally supposed to launch after the game’s April debut, among other free add-ons. In an investor call after the announcement, CD Projekt Red said the multiplayer option probably won’t launch until after 2021. The studio has promised more updates about the game in general as we get closer to September.

This is the one big sad news. I will try to buy new PC, or wil buy game forPS4 when it will be on my hands.

Sad news.

But, on the other hand, I prefer "good product" then "a product".

I remember that in ES3 Morrowind kiling some npcs early in game was making completing some quests impossible. So I'm really curious about what they really polish ;)

And announcing the espected release date of the multi version is good news - the topic was not abandoned or put in the freezer.

So I'm still an optimist.

Agree - better to get finetuned product later than crappy onne (vide Fallout 76 case).
