CD Projekt postpones the digital celebration that was to take place this June 11 in solidarity with the victims of police violence in the United States.
CD Projekt RED has reported through a message on its official Twitter account that the Night City Wire digital event dedicated to Cyberpunk 2077 will be held on June 25 and not June 11, as planned. The Polish developer, in a gesture of solidarity against racism and to support social protests in the United States after the death of George Floyd by police violence, delays her plans for two weeks. Game news must wait.
We decided to move Night City Wire to Jun 25th. We still look forward to sharing new information about CP’77, but more important discussions are happening right now and we want them to be heard. We wholeheartedly stand against racism, intolerance and violence. Black Lives Matter.

New Cyberpunk 2077 information to be revealed on June 25
"We have decided to move the Night City Wire to June 25," they begin by saying in the message, published late this afternoon on Tuesday. “We are still looking forward to sharing new information from Cyberpunk 2077, but there are more important discussions right now and we want them to be heard. We are totally against racism, intolerance and violence. Black Lives Matter ”, they finish, using the motto that accompanies all the gestures of solidarity that we have been seeing in the video game industry for a few days: the lives of black people matter.
CD Projekt RED is not the first to do something like this. Electronic Arts has decided to postpone its Madden NFL 21 presentation plan and, with more media coverage, Sony has postponed the initially planned event dedicated to the first PS5 games on June 4 until further notice. For their part, others such as Activision have delayed Season 4 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone as well as Season 7 of Call of Duty: Mobile.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is in the final phase of its development and will not suffer, except surprise, any delay: we will play it from September 4 on PS4, Xbox One and PC; There will also be a version on Google Stadia. In the future, the title will receive expansions that they hope will reach the quality of what The Witcher 3 had in its day.
