Cyberpunk 2077 Delayed Again to December

Today Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt RED announced that the massively-anticipated RPG has been delayed again.

[Vegamyster]

Bah lol, only a few weeks thankfully.

[Abriael]

Could certainly be worse.

[b163o1]

I've been waiting for years, so a couple of weeks isn't gonna matter....

[alexa6941]

I get paid over $90 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing,

[CptFalcon]

Omg Alexa I'm so happy for you!

[thorstein]

I think the word delay should be changed to Star Citizen.

Cyberpunk 2077 Star Citizen'd Again to December

[IanTH]

Yeah, and such a short delay so close to release is rare, which I can only think will mean we're going to people getting their hands on it early. It'll be missing the Day 1 patch, but this game has already gone gold & you can't stop that train.

Logistics for manufacturing and shipping is too large a ship to turn at the last second, so there are going to be packaged games being shipped to retail locations that will just be held in storage until the new release date. This game is too big, too hyped, to keep some copies from leaking out. Gonna have to be vigilant to avoid spoilers in the coming weeks, me thinks.

[Sunny_D]

I mean a few more weeks for now....

[asweplay]

No probs, waiting for next gen upgrade anyways!

[RaiderNation]

Same. Knowing that a next gen patch is coming, I'm not touching this until that day comes.

[PrinceAli]

You guys do realise that next gen patch is coming anytime in 2021 right?

[RaiderNation]

@PrinceAli

Of course we realize it. I have a ridiculous backlog to catch up on anyway. The last thing I want to do right now is get into a massive open world game such as this. I have too many other games to finish first.

[TheScotsman]

Worth the wait for the next gen versions for sure

[Eidolon]

Next-Gen patch + plenty of bug fixes + cheaper.

[sagapo]

Yeah, me too.

[Skuletor]

You do know you can plug your pc into your tv right?

[medman]

Me three!!!

[RangerWalk267]

CD Project Red said the upgrade for the Series X will be ready on the 10th of November. At least that's what I remember reading.

[isarai]

Same

[Relientk77]

October 5th: Game goes gold

October 27: We are delaying the game again

Geez dude lol hopefully the release date stays in December of this year now.

[-Foxtrot]

Hopefully despite going gold any improvements they do now will be on the disc, not in a huge update.

[Zhipp]

I don't think that's any option anymore. The best you can hope for is that the patch won't be especially huge.

[IanTH]

Definitely not an option. 1st, they mention this is going into the "Day 0 patch", which is already what they were working on when aiming for the November release. But secondly, going "gold" refers to "gold master", which is the code deemed good enough to be pressed onto a master disc from which all other copies will be based upon.

So whatever the code base was back when they said the game went gold is what is on the disc, without question. The disc pressing and cases are already in production, there's no stopping that train once it has left the station. This just means a more robust Day 1 patch.

[dumahim]

Well, that confirms day 1 patch.

[SyntheticForm]

Got ungolded back to silver.

Hopefully it stays silver and this is just for next gen.

[UnSelf]

December

CDRED: We decided to cancel Cyberpunk you bitches. Kiss our ass(es)

[NeoGamer232]

For me, the game is done when it is done. I would rather have a great game experience then a mess that disappoints. Batman Arkham Origins, I played 3/4 of the way thru the game and then a game save bug corupted my save. Haven't bought anything Batman since.

[King_Noctis]

Really disappointed by this news. But CDPR must have a good reason for delaying this yet again. I still trust them, and I also hope this will be the last delay.

[Elda]

A sometime in 2021 release date.

[SullysCigar]

Starting to feel like that, huh.

[kythlyn]

I'd be okay with that if it meant less crunch for the devs, but it wouldn't.

[Double_O_Revan]

Just spin a wheel at this point. Lol.

[Father__Merrin]

Will next gen version launch alongside

[dumahim]

Probably not. They said that would be next year anyway.

[toxic-inferno]

It is intriguing though... they mention in their tweet that "the biggest challenge for us right now is shipping the game on current-gen, next-gen and PC at the same time..."

Now, maybe that just means that they are working on making sure the game RUNS on PS5 and Series X (but that this will still be the current-gen version). But it's definitely not clear!

[dumahim]

@toxic
I believe they said in the past there'd be a small patch for PS5/XSX to give it better performance and then the big update would come next year. Maybe they're talking about that small patch, but who knows until they say something about it agian.

[Nismo458]

No

[jbull]

What a joke, stupid management can't get project completed on time, this the 4th delay now? Why can't they be just honest and say its delayed till 2021, clearly this extra few weeks is hope rather expectations that it will release.

[CrimsonWing69]

this isn't management this is sounding like it's not working so smoothly on current-gen.

The game has gone gold, homie. That means it can be completed from start to finish.

They said they want it to run smoothly on all platforms and that somewhere in development it became a "next-gen" title.

I'm with you on being bummed on the delay but let's give it to CDPR for not releasing a busted game, my man.

[jbull]

My issue is that it was announced in early 2013 and when we're in the final stretch for release suddenly delays, issues etc. Over 7 years should not come to this.

[potatoseal]

CAN YOU IMAGINE, what type of work it would take to get this game to run on the launch Xbox One ????

[AuraAbjure]

@Potatoseal Yes I can imagine what it takes to get 2077 to run on the vanilla Xbox One. It's called black magic!

[DJStotty]

@potatoseal

"CAN YOU IMAGINE, what type of work it would take to get this game to run on the launch Xbox One ????"

Probably exactly the same amount of work it is taking now, seeing as though it is launching on the xbox one?

May as well add "can you imagine, what type of work it would take to get this game to run on the launch PS4???"

You see how silly it sounds?

[ikarodemon]

Man you Know nothing about management.

[jbull]

Well it's not a science not matter how many times my university tried to teach it that way.

[Christopher]

Considering what this year has done, new hardware, and people working from home full time... I'd cut some slack.

[King_Noctis]

Companies like Rockstar delay games like GTA V multiple times as well, and back then we weren’t even in the Covid 19 era.

We should cut them some slack and be happy that heavy crunches might at least be reduced due to this delay.

[goldwyncq]

Lol, no. Crunches are about to get a whole lot worse because for them to delay the game so close to its intended release date, they must’ve found some serious bugs that need fixing at the last minute.

[King_Noctis]

“ Lol, no. Crunches are about to get a whole lot worse because for them to delay the game“

If you look at the other side of the coin, We can also say that hadn’t they delayed the game then the crunch might even be worst than it already is seeing that the deadline was very close. So let face it, until there are more news we can’t say for sure what’s happening with the development of the game.

[jbull]

They don't deserve slack, they announced the Stadia version to release as well. Talk about deliberately putting yourself under more pressure.

[DJStotty]

Better delayed, than the backlash and damage from releasing a broken game, if a game is not ready it should always be delayed.

[Sieg]

Alright. 45 days bois. That'll give us time to catch up on other games that'll be coming out. Not the end of the world.

[Rainbowcookie]

Day 44... the apocalypse... hold my beer

[CrimsonWing69]

oh ffs

[ichdich]

What a joke

[BioShockGX]

Didn't know you can delay a game that went gold.

[Rainbowcookie]

I know right...fools gold🤣🤣😂 ;

[Christopher]

Gold is what's pressed on disc. They can have a day 1 patch and the delay is so they can get that done before it gets to the public's hand. I'm guessing they found an issue on one or more next-gen consoles and decided to delay across the board so it's not a staggered release.

[Ashunderfire86]

I got to admit that is a first.

[mrsolidsteel20]

@BioshockGX

Same here.

[RPGer]

That is a new kind of "went gold" you know, the kind that need delays, optimizations, day one huge patch, and overall 30gb updates.

[jonivtec]

This...is the stupidest delay ever....20 day before launch....after the game goes gold....something is cooking...and i hope it is not a 2021 delay....welll..it gonna get me time to get my rtx 3070 before launching it.

[jznrpg]

Just release the next gen version at same time shit

[JEECE]

Actually this post seems to suggest that they might. It's not totally clear.

[Nismo458]

Next gen patch in 2021

[JEECE]

Actually on rereading it seems like they are just mentioning the next gen consoles as far as testing the current gen version of the game on those for backwards compatibility. They specifically say "compatibility" when referring to PS5 and Series X, which they don't say with any others, so it looks like those are still next year. It's a shame, because them being able to launch those versions simultaneously rather than waiting until next year is one of the things that actually would have justified the delay.

@2080super

Actually there are going to be native next gen versions of the game next year, not a patch.

[Rainbowcookie]

I just looked at the release date today and though to myself it's so close it felt like an eternity. Surely its done now... 🤣🤣😂did n't it go gold or something yet...

[Batnut00]

Oh good, more crunching.

[gold_drake]

sounds good to me, more money after next gen ha. but man, this half year was riddled with delays.

[ikarodemon]

No problem! Will be a great game and we can wait for a better launch.

[Viking_mo]

How are people defending this? They said no more delays and the games gone gold only to be delayed again. They even were advertising it with Keanu Reeves saying 19 November release date.

[Christopher]

You shouldn't buy the game. That'll show them.

[dumahim]

Game delays are to improve the game. If not, they release is and people complain about the problems, which may or may not be severe (like corrupted game saves). I think most people would rather put up with a delay and have a better working game that to get it now and put up with stuff that may be broken.

[potatoseal]

People and teams make mistakes. What is the point attacking them or getting angry? Will it make the gmae get to you faster? We just gotta be patient

[Ashunderfire86]

They have to give us a big thank you with free content for waiting that long. At least this game will come out before Star Citizen. Man someone got to make this a meme.

[RgR]

This the first game to be delayed after going gold?

Of the nine versions they're preparing the Xbox consoles take up nearly 50% lol

[LethalButterfly]

Possibly yeah...can't think of another.

[dumahim]

I don't remember ever hearing this happening before, but that's not to say it hasn't.

[LethalButterfly]

Here comes the "take your time, you guys are amazing" comments...🙄

[Gianoni33]

No men sky fellings.

There is a message behind it. It`s clear that the game has been facing many development issues. Delay after gone gold? Come on, they are working so many day one update, the game might seems broken and maybe just fully enjoyable after few months of the release. Thats my concern.

Now, the GOTY wiill be between TLOU 2 and Hades.

[potatoseal]

Ghost Of Tsushima too

[phoenixwing]

ghost of tsushima or final fantasy 7 remake are my goty contenders

[potatoseal]

All good. I've got Demon's Souls to Platinum

[onemanwolfp4kv2]

what the literal fuck? it feels like the next gen release and the current gen release are going to be early 2021

[goldwyncq]

On December: Cyberpunk 2077 delayed to 2077.

[Btf_1991]

Remember when the release date was supposed to be April 2020?

[Ashunderfire86]

Look on the bright side guys...At least it will come out before Star Citizen is finished! Wow that means it will come out the same time as The Medium!!!! That game is going to be overshadowed for real!

Meanwhile you can lose yourself in Watchdogs 3 Legion waiting for Cyberpunk 2077.

[Vithar]

ugh god DAMMIT

[Rocosaurus]

Whatever, I've waited 7 years. Three more weeks doesnt matter to me as long a it comes out polished.

[Vithar]

they said IT WENT GOLD WTF

[chiefJohn117]

Fine by me, I won't get any gaming done in November

[QUIMICOMORTAL]

Again??? Well, that sucks for those that only had 3rd party AAA games to look for, those with AAA 1st party games can wait with no problem.

[Gamerking82]

I preordered this the day it went gold. Now this bullshit. If it gets delayed again after this im skipping it until its in the bargin bins. Don't say the game has went gold when you clearly knew it was not ready. And anyone defending them they have had 8 years working on this game.

[Games1st]

F to people that got leave in November

[VerminSC]

Lol WHAT?! Hasn’t the game gone gold? And I saw tweets this week confirming no more delays. If any other developer pulled this shit people would lose it.

[akaFullMetal]

At least it is a short delay.

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

Its alright. I still have Demon souls remake and Ghost of Tsushima legends.

[AnnaDea]

Good, I'm waiting for my devil's lettuce to be finished. Perfect timing ;D

[GusBricker]

Well, this means I can complete AC:V before it comes out now. But damn, it comes out the same day The Medium does now. That game is so gonna get lost in the shuffle.

[PlayStation47]

Maybe it wii come out in 2077

[AnotherGamer]

Already seeing the memes of this lol.

[HankHill]

There's been a lot of red flags with this game. I hope I'm wrong.

[InUrFoxHole]

Seriously? The game isn't ready cut the BS and stop announcing dates. You're just pissing the fans off.

[Bennibop]

Cancelled my preorder, asking the wife to get it for me for Xmas. Means I can buy another ps5 game.

[ajax17]

lol

[Smclaren1985]

Damn lol I was looking forward to this day one on ps5 lol aww well nothing we can do now I suppose it’s only a few weeks

[masterfox]

Oh come on!, I hope this is not for cutting content.

[RPGer]

Are they pushing it strategically to make room for next gen??

[GameZenith]

More time for me to play Valhalla. I aint mad.

[Psychotica]

Same here and Watch Dogs Legion..

[Loktai]

LO frickin L thgis is a shitshow

[chobit_A5HL3Y]

lmao

[got_dam]

Don't care. Still releases on my day off.

[TGGJustin]

Delayed after it went Gold. Now this is funny. It's obvious the game needs more works so just push it to 2021. They haven't even shown console footage which should worry people. That usually means they are hiding something.

[phoenixwing]

you do make a good point about the console footage i'd hate to see what this actually looks like on the base ps4 and xbone

[AHall88]

I get the feeling it failed certification on either the base PS4 or XB1(Maybe both?), because I believe 21 days is how long it would take to put it back through certification.

[hanuman2]

This sucks....

[Saviior95]

Slightly disappointing to hear this so close to release - i can understand the rationale but surely they've been able to test this across 7 of the 9 consoles they are blaming the issue on???

Doesn't make too much sense at that point if you ask me, sounds like a corporate ploy to move it into a month with less competition.

[WillyC009]

Lol of course it did. I love the Witcher 3 more anyway. But this is just embarrassing on their end. Game was scheduled to release in 3 weeks and they pull this. It’s not a good look on CDPR.

Better off to just push it to a 2021 release now. Coincide it with the release of PS5/Xbox Series X versions.

[Xristo]

It's been eight years. I can wait three more weeks.

[Kaedro]

(Read in CJ's voice): Oh boy, here we go again!

[SmokinAces]

Seems odd to do QA after the game went gold but I trust CDPR to do whats best for the game. 21 days sucks but it could be worse.

[Nacho_Z]

These things happen. Personally I'm waiting until I get a PS5 to get it which will be Christmas at the earliest, probably later.

[sushimama]

I am still hyped for the game. Hype levels have never been through the roof but I am still buying it on day 1.

[Artemidorus]

I told everyone this would happen.

[Rambokind]

Everyone, temper your expectations. You're going to be disappointed.

[ThereGoThatManQ]

Wow CDPR back at it again with the delay......

Screw CP2077

[Profchaos]

I find it so hard to believe they will be able to test all 9 systems in 21 days I hope they can still but I'm expecting another delay.i know they are pushing hard to make the holidays though

[bRuud83]

More time for Destiny 2 Beyond Light so I don't mind.

[Kubark]

So obvious that Cyberpunk 2077 is going to play like trash on the PS4 and Xbox One.

[Smclaren1985]

No necessarily if was designed for them from day one so I highly doubt it will play like trash. The next gen consoles and PC will be the optimal place though for sure. I was so looking forward to this on day one on my ps5 . Gutted lol only 3 weeks though

[CoNn3rB]

Honestly I'm numb to it at this point

[Good-Smurf]

I realized now those who bought Series X/S won't be able to play anything new and AAA at least a month after launch having to rely on old releases BC and enhanced ports.

[jwillj2k4]

It will be delayed again

[Hikoran]

I think it's absolutely disgusting that the devs and the like are getting death threats over this. We're all passionate and love games, it's why you're here. To threaten someone's life over a piece of media is not acceptable.

I have and many others have took to twitter to show the developers and team at CDPR that we can wait and to try ignore the hate, I think you should too. One developer has had to leave twitter due to being threatened to be burnt alive. Disgusting.

[Limitedtimestruggle]

I see some of the developers have received death threats efter yesterdays news..how low can people go? For reals? These really are the worst kind of fucked up people.

[Drithe]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo
