#GAMING - Cyberpunk 2077: The game that never releases

Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that let players dive into a detailed world full of story missions, side quests, and memorable characters. Unlike The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in a futuristic world: the dense Night City and its surrounding areas based on the tabletop Cyberpunk 2020 game. Players can drive around in and outside of Night City, explore buildings, and hack, shoot, or negotiate their way through a main story involving Keanu Reeves (as dead rockstar Johnny Silverhand), memory thieving, and human augmentation. This game has become the most hyped releases in the history of gaming since 2012 but its release has never happen.

CD Projekt Red first announced the dystopian future RPG as far back as 2012, with a teaser trailer dropping a year later in 2013, implying that the game’s development was well underway. However, after five years of silence, the developers resurrected the PR surrounding the title with a second trailer and pre-alpha playthrough soon after the 2018 Gamescom. By 2019 they provide more in-game detail, demo, and behind the scene of the development of the game but it release kept getting delayed over and over again.

Gamers are even excited now as they announced another release date which will be on December 10, 2020. Cyberpunk was originally going to release on April 16, 2020, but CD Projekt RED announced in January that it needed "more time to finish playtesting, fixing and polishing". The release date was pushed to September, and then another delay was announced on June 18, and Cyberpunk 2077 was moved to November 19. At the end of October, it was delayed yet again, and will now release in December. Fingers crossed!
