CD Projekt Red today announced it\u2019s much-ballyhooed, highly anticipated RPG, Cyberpunk 2077<\/em>, is being delayed for the \u2014 what, third or fourth time? I\u2019ve lost track at this point. Anyone else sensing something rotten in Night City?<\/p>\n

\u2014 Cyberpunk 2077 (@CyberpunkGame) October 27, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The company revealed the news in yet another apologetic Twitter post, saying the purpose of the delay is to continue to get the game ready in some nebulous fashion. The only specifics we got were that the developers are swamped trying to get the game ready both on current-gen and next-gen consoles.<\/p>\n

I would like to take this moment to remind everyone that CDPR has been saying the game was \u201ccomplete and playable\u201d since its original delay was announced\u2026 in January<\/em>. The game has since gone gold and it\u2019s somehow still being delayed. In case you don\u2019t know, a game going gold means the master copy of the disc has been created, and thus the game is ready for physical release. So they\u2019ve already created the release edition of the game, and yet it\u2019s still <\/em>not finished.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m aware that, in this day and age, games come with massive patches on release. But if the version of the game that\u2019s been printed to the master disc is so screwed up that you need 21 more days of development time before it can even be seen by the public, there\u2019s a problem. Cyberpunk 2077 <\/em>has been in development for over eight years at this point \u2014 sure, it\u2019s not been regular development, but it\u2019s still been in the works for quite some time. For CD Projekt Red to keep kicking the can further down the road\u2026 something just feels wrong about this.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just me talking out of school. Behind the scenes info from Jason Schreier says the development staff only found out about the delay from an internal email sent at the same time as the above announcement. Despite my initial hopes<\/a>, these multiple delays have not resulted in less crunch. In fact, according to a Bloomberg expose<\/a>, crunch is alive and well. That means CDPR staff may have only just found out today they have to endure three more weeks<\/em> of this, with some allegedly having 100-hour work weeks<\/a>. But yeah sure, take your time, CDPR \u2014 nothing sketchy or unhealthy about this at all.<\/p>\n

The present (and hopefully final) release date is now December 10.<\/p>\n
