CD Projekt Red has announced that Cyberpunk 2077 will not debut on its intended release date. The game was originally going to release on April 16th, 2020, but slipped to September 17th, 2020, and now it’s due to release worldwide across PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 19th, 2020.

September 17th will no longer be Cyberpunk 2077’s release date. According to a new letter that Marcin Iwinski — co-founder — and Adam Badowski — head of studio — wrote, folks looking to explore the current year streets of Night City will have to wait late this year before doing so.

Here’s the letter by Iwinski and Badowski explaining Cyberpunk 2077’s delay:

If you can’t read the tweet, here’s a written version of the letter:

“We have decided to move the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 from September 17 to November 19.

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 that 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.

At the time we are writing these words, Cyberpunk 2077 is finished both content and gameplay-wise. The quests, the cutscenes, the skills and items; all the adventures Night City has to offer—it’s all there. But with such an abundance of content and complex systems interweaving with each other, we need to properly go through everything, balance game mechanics, and fix a lot of bugs. A huge world means a huge number of things to iron out and we will spend the additional time doing exactly that.

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 June 25. We hope this will satisfy some of your hunger for the game as we work to polish it for the November launch.

Thank You.”

As a summary, the game is said to be complete (including quests, environmental areas, and other aspects), but the team wants to polish areas to make sure no bugs are lurking around when the game hits store shelves.

Moreover, Night City Wire will still kick-off on June 25th, 2020. Before, though, the digital event was set to debut on June 11th, 2020, but was delayed for “more important voices.”

For those of you out of the loop, the upcoming Night City Wire digital event was pushed from June 11th to June 25th so that “more important discussions” related to “Black Lives Matter” could be heard.

Lastly, the actual game itself will release worldwide on November 19th, 2020, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
