The developers of the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 have just announced that the release date is delayed further.

The game will now release on December 10, 21 days after the current release date.

This news will come as a shock to many, as the studio appeared to be ready for a next-gen release window.

Let’s take a look at what the team behind the game had to say!

The delay

The game is delayed until December 10, with the reasons being that they have to test the game on so many platforms.

With the release across current-gen, next-gen, PC and more, 9 different versions of the game need to be stress-tested.

This Day 0 patch includes improvements to the game following the certification of Going Gold.

It is this period of time that the team is said to have underestimated, leading to further delays.
