After their success with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/">The Witcher III: Wild Hunt</a>, everyone was waiting for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/cd-projekt-red/">CD Projekt Red</a>’s next game, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/cyberpunk-2077/">Cyberpunk 2077</a>. The game was set to release this coming April, but it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer before we can get our hands on it.

As per an official announcement, Cyberpunk’s release has now been moved from April 16, 2020 to Sept. 17, 2020. Here’s the <a href="https://twitter.com/CDPROJEKTRED/status/1217861009446182912?">post</a>:

The announcement reads:

<div class="direct-quote">"We are currently at a stage where the game is complete and playable, but there's still work to be done. Night City is massive - full of stories, content, and places to visit, but due to the sheer scale and complexity of it all, we need more time to finish playtesting, finishing and polishing. We want Cyberpunk 2077 to be our crowning achievement for the generation and postponing launch will give us the precious months we need to make the game perfect."</div>

Cyberpunk 2077 is the third game to get a major delay this week. Earlier Square Enix had announced that the upcoming Avengers game has also been moved from its May release to September as well. Final Fantasy VII Remake was also delayed, but only by a month.

While a lot of people are bummed out that they’ll have to wait longer for the release of Cyberpunk 2077, at least they can be rest-assured that the developers are working hard on trying to make the game the best it can be. At least they’re not pushing crunch culture like some other developers have been doing in the past.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set to come out on Sept. 17 on the Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
