Cyberpunk 2077, for the better part of the last decade, remained an enigma, as it had been announced quite early (2012) but got shelved mysteriously. Long after fans had been completely blown away by a masterfully made teaser for Cyberpunk 2077, they were left in stasis with little to no information.
Several years later, in 2018, CD Projekt Red confirmed that this game was now in development, and fans are more excited than ever. The first release date announced for Cyberpunk 2077 was slated to be 16th April 2020, but this was delayed due to developmental concerns.
While fans were disappointed, the broader sentiment in the community was that the final offering would benefit from a longer developmental cycle. Cyberpunk 2077 would face another setback with the updated September release date also being pushed to November.
Fans were now becoming increasingly anxious as to whether this title would be coming out in 2020. And at long last, CDPR has confirmed that the game has "gone gold" and the 19th November 2020 release date is all but guaranteed.
