With the new date, the game hits the shelves after the ads for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X - which may justify the postponement: "we need more time to finish polishing"
One of the most anticipated games of the year, Cyberpunk 2077, from CD Projekt Red, had its release postponed in five months. Scheduled for April 16, the game will only be available to the public on September 17, according to an announcement made by the developer.
"We are currently at a stage where the game is complete and playable, but there is still work to be done. Night City is huge - full of stories, content and places to visit, but due to the sheer scale and complexity of it all. , we need more time to complete the test, correction and polishing ”, wrote the company, mentioning the city that serves as the setting for the game.
The new date still puts Cyberpunk 2077 on the market after announcing the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, which may be one of the reasons for the postponement: making the game better on new platforms.
Developed by CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 is a futuristic action RPG set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamor and biomodifications. In the game, you control cyberpunk V, a kind of outlaw urban mercenary looking for a unique implant that carries the key to immortality.

The open world game was one of the most acclaimed at E3 2019 thanks to the surprising participation of actor Keanu Reeves, who has a character featured in the game.
