CD PRojekt RED has once again announced they are delaying the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Why this time you ask? Well, it seems CD Projekt RED is not quite satisfied with where the game is at the moment. With their motto of conviction, CD Projekt RED seems quite transparent about not releasing a game until it is no doubt ready to be played and scrutinized by us insatiable gaming heads who demand that our games are near perfection.
To this I say bravo to CD Projekt RED, however, my itchy trigger finger is certainly growing impatient. Now, instead of launching on September 17, the game has been pushed back to November 19.
For some reason, my Spidey-senses are tingling. Could this delay have something to do with the launch of the next-generation hardware this holiday. Could CD Projekt RED actually be fine-tuning the PS5/Xbox Series X version of Cyberpunk 2077?
Enough with our speculations, check out why the devs are once again delaying the game:

“We have decided to move the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 from September 17 to November 19,” said the developer via Twitter.
“Those of you who are familiar with the way we make games know that we won’t ship something which is not ready. ‘Ready when it’s done’ is not just a phrase we say because it sounds right, it’s something we live by even when we know we’ll take the heat for it.
“At the same time, we are fully aware that making such a decision costs us your trust and trading trust for additional time is one of the hardest decisions a game developer can make. And despite we think it’s the right decision for the game, we’d still like to apologize for making you wait longer. Our intention is to make Cyberpunk 2077 something that will stay with you for years to come. In the end, we hope you understand why we did what we did.
“This week, journalists from all over the world are starting to independently play the game. We are eager (and quite stressed) to hear their opinions, as well as see your reactions when they publish their previews right after we air Night City Wire on the 25th of June. We hope this will satisfy some of your hunger for the game as we work to polish it for the November launch.”
