The release of the action RPG Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red is postponed. Instead of the announced release on April 16, the game will be released in September 2020.
When will Cyberpunk 2077 be released? According to a report on Twitter, CD Projekt Red is delaying the release of Cyberpunk 2077 by several months.
The new release date for the action RPG is September 17, 2020.
Why is the game being postponed? The report states that while Cyberpunk 2077 is in a playable state and is already finished, there is still a lot of work to be done.
Due to the complexity and size of the world, more time is needed to find and fix bugs.
According to the developers, Cyberpunk 2077 is supposed to be the “culmination of this gaming generation”. Therefore, the additional months of development time are required.

How surprising is the delay? The expectations for Cyberpunk 2077 are high, partly because the developers keep fueling them. Even with the delay, they refer to it as the “culmination of the gaming generation”.
However, behind the scenes, things are rumored to not be running smoothly. Former employees of CD Projekt Red reportedly said that the development of the game is very bumpy.
There are many parallels to the development of the shooter Anthem. The game felt rough at release because supposedly little progress was made in development during the first few years. There was also a delay of the release date here.
Release as a Singleplayer, Expansion for Multiplayer
What is Cyberpunk 2077? Cyberpunk is an action RPG that takes place in Night City, one of the worst places in the world. While the future is technologically advanced, more and more people live in poverty, and the crime rate is particularly high.
As a player, you can explore the vast city, improve your skills, and upgrade your weapons. You will experience a nonlinear story that can lead to different consequences depending on your choices.
What is so exciting about Cyberpunk? Cyberpunk 2077 is eagerly anticipated. With the start of pre-orders, the game immediately topped the bestseller list on Steam.
Many are fascinated by the scenario of a future, dystopian world, where the gap between rich and poor has widened and the boundaries of morality are blurred.
Additionally, the developers at CD Projekt Red are known for the successful role-playing series The Witcher. They were already able to impress with storytelling there.
Will Cyberpunk have a multiplayer? Yes, Cyberpunk 2077 is supposed to have a multiplayer. However, the action RPG is first set to release as a singleplayer role-playing game.
After the release, further free DLCs with singleplayer content are to follow. After that, a multiplayer mode will be introduced. However, there are no exact details about the structure of the multiplayer content yet.
