CD Projekt CEO Adam Kiciński made it abundantly clear in May that he'd be keeping quiet about the game until 2017, which is a long time to wait.

 

[Coreda]

No way.

Not a chance.

Considering it was only recently they announced the TW3 dev team was split with some continuing work on 2077 and other other to finish up Blood & Wine it does seem unlikely.

 

[Meccanical]

That's a lot sooner than I think they can comfortably deliver it.

But whenever it's ready, so will I.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I prefer to be relased in 2017, no need to rush.

But im super excited to probably see the first trailers in 2016, thats for sure. Character creator, fire weapons combat, a modern city... I cant even think of how good this things are going to be done by them. Really excited about the character creator and what they will bring to the table, as this will be a first for them.

CD Projekt Red wants to publish Cyberpunk 2077 at the end of 2016. This has been verified by a reliable source close to the Polish developer and Gamereactor Germany.

Also if this is the same as the source who said all that CDPR where showing on the trailers of the witcher 3 were PR lies... lol

 

[JeffZero]

Lol.

There you have it ladies and gents, 2017 confirmed.

 

[Joco]

Whaaaattt. While I'd be thrilled to be playing Cyberpunk a year from now, I'd be shocked if it released earlier than 2017.

 

[johnnydrama]

Brehs, what's this nonsense about it being a PC exclusive? You know that's not happening.

 

[Despera]

This teaser is almost 3 years old. I think we're due for some in-game footage soon. Can't wait to see their take on a cyberpunk city.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I really find that hard to believe. Even if we get a late 2016 date, I fully expect a delay to Q2 2017 in line with TW3.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

They said they wouldn't even talk about it again until 2017....


?

 

[op_ivy]

They said they wouldn't even talk about it again until 2017....


?

this

 

[Smash88]

So mid-late 2017 confirmed then? Good to know. I'm Excited.

 

[Lunar15]

Wait, what?

C'mon man. There's no fucking way.

 

[Sciortino]

I'd be shocked if it released end of next year. Fully expecting it mid 2017.

 

[Obliterator]

Holy shit for real? Thats a WAY faster turn around from Witcher 3 than I expected

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Wow. Not was I was expecting at all! Was expecting late 2017 early 2018!

 

[ScepticMatt]

What happened to

CDPR not discussing Cyberpunk 2077 until 2017

?

Production going so well that they are moving the release date forward, even after accounting for Hofstadter's law?


2016? ... riiight.

 

[Ushay]

2016 reveal, 2017 release.

Unless they pull a Ubisoft and have multiple studios working on it.

 

[e-gamer]

This is The game I most want in this Gen but I highly doubt they will release in 2016.

Really.

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

Not going to happen. Even 2017 is not all that likely.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Wow. Not was I was expecting at all! Was expecting late 2017 early 2018!

Keep expecting that.

 

[Despera]

Holy shit for real? Thats a WAY faster turn around from Witcher 3 than I expected

I'd wait for official news before celebrating.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Lol.

 

[nero2082]

if this news originated from polish source I would have believed it...guys here love to spill some meaty stuff waaaay too early

 

[Iscariot]

Didn't they say they were aiming for 2077 to be even bigger than TW3?

 

[oceanskie]

Late 2016 seems a bit optimistic. My money's on a lengthy delay to May/June 2017.

 

[bigboss370]

They revealed this game way too early :/

 

[Obliterator]

I'd wait for official news before celebrating.

Oh dont worry I ain't celebrating. I'm thinking its a Winter 2017 title but 2016 would be hype

 

[wrowa]

That goes contrary to everything they've said so far regarding the project. There's no way in hell they release it next year when the Witcher 3 team has just now shifted to Cyberpunk.

 

[inpHilltr8r]

Game will be released October 2016. Game will actually be complete October 2017.

 

[Maintenance]

Winter 2017.

 

[Despera]

Didn't they say they were aiming for 2077 to be even bigger than TW3?

maybe they decided to make it a multi-part series

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[RealityPales]

2016?!

Good luck...

 

[Emperor_Uriel]

I doubt it, but after TW3, CD Projekt can take however long they need. They're in the R*/Valve camp of "when it's done" in my book.

Besides, we're still getting another Witcher expansion in a few months to tide us over.

No chance that's happening

 

[SunBroDave]

Based CDPR

Spoiler

Day 1 when it releases May 2017.

 

[Stone Ocean]

2016 when they haven't even fully revealed the game yet? No way

 

[Jigolo]

Bullshit

August 14th, 2017

 

[Zoibie]

Given everything CDPR have said in recent months - about how much bigger this game is going to be than TW3, about how TW3 was only possible financially because it was also on consoles, about how they're devoting the next year to more Witcher 3 content - there's no way any part of this is true. Late 2017 at the very earliest, releasing on PC and consoles.

 

[Darksol]

Even if this game ending up sucking, the trailer introduced me to Archive, so I still feel as though I've won. Regardless, I'm very excited about this game

 

[funkystudent]

This teaser is almost 3 years old. I think we're due for some in-game footage soon. Can't wait to see their take on a cyberpunk city.

Fun fact.

Cyberpunk 2077 was announced before Witcher 3 wild hunt.

 

[etta]

Dear God please let it be true. Please.

 

[robotrock]

No way this is happening. Cool to hear though.

 

[orochi91]

God, I hope they can make the target. Wonder if they're going to release PS4/XBO versions in 2017 to make the 2016 deadline on PC?

What?

TW3 sold way more on consoles than it did on PC, if I'm remembering correctly from those NPD and Euro sales threads.

It would make sense to delay the PC version.

 

[RK9039]

It's going to happen, it's their personal responsibility

Spoiler

personal responsibility

.

Spoiler

anyone anything

 

[Copper]

I think they didn't anticipate Witcher 3 to do as well as it did which spurred them to push their agenda on CP 2077. Realistically It will be more like Q1-Q2 2017

 

[Mifec]

What?

TW3 sold way more on consoles than it did on PC, if I'm remembering correctly from those NPD and Euro sales threads.

It would make sense to delay the PC version.

CDPR would never delay the PC version thankfully.

 

[noshten]

Personally I think they just need to take however much time they need, perhaps it's because PC timed exclusivity might solve some of the issues they had when creating the console ports. Their devs are simply just getting used to optimizing games for consoles. The PC releases of Witcher 2 and 3 on PC was fine for me, I waited about a month after the game was released to get into it(even though I had pre-ordered on GoG 2 years ago) and definitely didn't have any issues at all. But a lot of people had widespread problems for months into patches on consoles.

Perhaps CD Projekt feels that they must do a reverse Rockstar and take their time porting the game to Consoles. I'm sure after the way they really gained mainstream recognition this year - people will in the end buying the game when it release it on consoles.

Of course it's entirely possible everything might be delayed but that's the way I view such rumors. I don't mind either way I'm a pretty patient person.

 

[matrix-cat]

I'll be there day one

Spoiler

in 2017

 

[texhnolyze]

Won't happen.
2017 spring is stretching it.
