One of the biggest announcements to come out of Microsoft’s
Xbox E3 2018 press conference was the official announcement of CD Projekt Red’s
Cyberpunk 2077, with the developer having put together an intense, high-energy
reveal trailer detailing the type of stories to be found in Night City.
The
action-RPG’s showcase at this 2018’s expo has been one fans have been waiting
on for years, but they may have to wait a little while longer.
Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be ready when CD Projekt Red is
prepared to put it out, which could be beyond 2020. As stated by Pondsmith,
“I’ve waited 30 years to get to this and it was worth it. You guys can wait a
few more years, it will be worth it,” implying that it may still be a ways off
from release.
As of now, CD Projekt Red has yet to offer up a concrete
launch time, or even as much of a general window as to when fans should expect
to see Cyberpunk 2077 officially hit store shelves, but the developer has
previously stated it’s aiming for a current-gen release date. Of course, with
the studio only hoping to have the action-RPG ready to be available during the
console era of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, there’s always a chance that it
becomes a project for the PS5 or Microsoft’s next system.
Bearing this all in mind, should players have to wait a
while longer for Cyberpunk 2077 to come out, it doesn’t necessarily have to be
a bad thing. For instance, the creator Mike Pondsmith seems downright pleased
with how the project’s progressing so far, so if CD Projekt Red’s adaptation
needs more time in development, the best course of action for fans is to simply
not rush those working on it.
After all, the studio’s last outing was one of
the most popular and critically acclaimed ventures of all time: The Witcher 3:
Wild Hunt.
Cyberpunk 2077 is currently in development for PC,
PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, but lacks an official launch date.
