The Polish study settles the debate on possible undisclosed causes on the change of the date of the video game until next September.
CD Projekt RED has denied that the reason behind the delay of Cyberpunk 2077 is due to performance problems in the current generation consoles, as it has been rumored recently. As explained in the official forum of the company, this change of date is due only to what they wielded at the time: they want to polish the title to the fullest so that it arrives in the best conditions.
“Of course we are optimizing the game on Xbox One; also on PS4 and PC, because that is what you do in the last stages of the development of a game ”, they begin by saying. "There are always many reasons" for a delay, not just one, they recognize. But he insists: "There are no hidden agendas behind, we are only working on making it a better game," without secrets or traps. Simply that.
They want to make "a perfect game" with Cyberpunk 2077
"Night City is massive, full of content and places to visit, but given the scale and complexity of everything, we need more time to finish the testing and polishing phase," they said this January, when it was learned the news because they want the launch to mean the arrival of "a perfect game." It should be added that, to those who ask about a possible adaptation of the title to PS5 and Xbox Series X, at this time they do not think about it, but “it is a possibility”.
The fact that CD Projekt has recognized that the development of Cyberpunk 2077 has gone through crunch stages – as well as id Software with DOOM Eternal – has caused the IGDA (International Game Developers Association) to criticize the circumstance due to the increase it causes in the developers for an extended period of time.
Regarding the online multiplayer mode of Cyberpunk 2077, the study has confirmed that it will not arrive until after 2021. The title will be released on PS4, Xbox One and PC on September 17.
