Last year was a good year for Cyberpunk 2077 fans and those keen on seeing more of the game: we got an extensive E3 demo and the first proper trailer detailing what we can expect from the game.
Despite these new developments, CD Projekt RED is remaining silent on release plans for the game.
All we know so far is that the game will launch "when it's ready" – nice and vague, then.
Until then, the studio and various staff over at CD Projekt RED are teasing little updates about the game, keeping us on tenterhooks until a release date is finally revealed.
The latest news we have to share about the project comes from Polish analyst company Vestor Dom Maklerski (via GameReactor).
The company seems to believe that the game is targeting a launch on Q4 2019 (a period of time which actually runs until March 2020 because of how financial years work).
We reckon the firm is likely on the money with that estimate: the game has been in development for a while now, and if CDPR is keen on targeting a launch on cross-generational platforms (Xbox One/PS4 and whatever comes next) then this is a good time to strike.
We know that the game is fully playable from start to finish so, in theory, development now is polishing and refining the current experience.
This comes after an interview with EDGE, where Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt RED has revealed that it wants to inspire other developers in the industry.
Quest designer Patrick Mills has noted how the development team wants to show other developers what games can do – and how he wants Cyberpunk 2077 to change the industry.
“One of the things about this company has always been we want to show the game industry how to do things,” Mills explained. “We want to change the game industry. We want to say, We can do things differently, we dont have to do things that way. Its in our motto: We are rebels, right?”
“So when youve got other studios saying, Oh, no no no, theres nothing political here, we say, Yeah, there is. Its not necessarily what youre expecting, and were not going to talk about exactly what were going to say- its for you to decide when you play it. But Cyberpunk is relevant to today, extremely so. To pretend like its not? Come on. Mike [Pondsmith, Cyberpunk 2020 creator] wouldnt let us. Mike would throw a fit if we tried to say, This is just about cool hairstyles and cool guns, thats all.'”
It's a refreshing thing to hear in a climate where many developers are moving away from making explicit statements in their games.
