CD Projekt Red fans have been waiting years forCyberpunk 2077, and it’s inarguably one of the most highly-anticipated game release of the entire year. As is common with massive games likeCyberpunk 2077, its release date has been pushed back multiple times, but the November 19 release date seemed set in stone. Unfortunately for fans who were looking forward to playing the game on November 19, CD Projekt Red has now confirmed that theCyberpunk 2077release date has been delayed yet again.
The newCyberpunk 2077release date is December 10. According to a statement from the company, the reason for this latest delay is the challenge of shipping the game for not just current-generation consoles, but for next-generation consoles, Stadia, and PC as well. WhileCyberpunk 2077’s next-gen versionwon’t be out until 2021, CD Projekt Red still has to test to verify the game runs properly through the PS5 and Xbox Series X backward compatibility programs.
