Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed again on all systems, this time moving to a November 19 release date.
Cyberpunk 2077 was originally delayed until September 17 due to the amount of playtesting, fixing and polishing that the company still had to administer before the time of release.
The new delay announcements comes from the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter page which details reasons behind developer CD Projekt Red‘s decision.
Today’s (June 18) news of the delay is due to assessing and fixing balancing issues, alongside fixing any bugs that are present within the game.
“At the time we are writing these words, Cyberpunk 2077 is finished both content and gameplay wise,” the company stated. “But with such an abundance of content and complex systems interweaving with each other, we (CD Projekt Red) need to properly go through everything, balance game mechanics and fix a lot of bugs.”
