Cyberpunk 2077 Delayed to Make Time to “Finish Playtest, Fixing and Polishing”

CD Projekt Red announced that their open-world RPG Cyberpunk 2077 will be delayed from its scheduled April release date to September 17.

The delay comes with a statement from the developer that reveals the game is complete and playable in its current form. However, given the scope of the project and how grand Night City is, the team requires more time to playtest, fix and polish before release.

The developer mentions that this game will be their “crowning achievement” for the generation so postponing the launch will allow them to secure that title. Fans can expect more news and updates about the game in the coming months, but for now, back to waiting.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set in the future and is played in the first person where players can explore the world and take on missions, seemingly creating their own story in this new world. The game will feature multiple upgradable skills and abilities as well as the possibility of upgrading individual character classes. This is a huge game for the developer as a followup to the wildly popular 1988 tabletop game Cyberpunk 2020.

Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on September 17, 2020.
