Description:
Cyberpunk 2077 has been hit with yet another delay this time with its
next-gen upgrade being pushed back into early 2022 from its original late
2021 release date.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Cyberpunk 2077 a game synonymous with delays has been hit with yet another that will see its next-gen upgrade release in early 2022 instead of later
this year as was originally planned.

That, unfortunately, means players on Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles will
have to wait a few more months before they can enjoy the full next-gen experience. The announcement comes via a CD Projekt investor update warning that the Cyberpunk 2077 upgrade will now launch in Q1 2022 (thats January, February or March) at the recommendation of those supervising the project.

The next-gen upgrade of CD Projekts hugely popular The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
is also getting hit with a delay, now being pushed back to Q2 2022 (April, May, June). Given that Cyberpunk 2077 was hit with multiple delays and still came out in a disappointing state we wouldnt be shocked if the next-gen upgrade was pushed back even further to avoid any more fan backlash.

Delays are nothing new in gaming and by now Cyberpunk 2077 fans will be more than used to seeing that iconic yellow background explaining that the game they long to play has been pushed back yet again.

For the most part, delays aren't really an issue, as the famous Shigeru Miyamoto quote goes A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever. Generally, the Mario creator is correct. When given more time to get the game in order, developers are able to deliver the best possible
experience to fans.

However, what added insult to injury in the case of CD Projekt Reds sci-fi
RPG was that the delays didnt result in a good game; Cyberpunk 2077 still launched as a glitchy mess that was barely playable on the PS4 or Xbox One . The situation was so bad that it was even booted off the PlayStation platform at one point . Can we trust CD Projekt Red again?

Now that delays are once again hitting the game, we cant help but be worried that well be burned again; that when March 2022 rolls around CD Projekt Red will panic and release Cyberpunks next-gen upgrade half-baked rather than
risk further delay.

Its efforts to patch Cyberpunk 2077 and the wording of its update have us hopeful that this wont be the case, but even nearly a year after Cyberpunk
was released its hard to trust the once-beloved studio again.

We'll have to wait and see what the next-gen upgrade holds, but if CD Projekt Red makes a misstep yet again it might be game over for Cyberpunk 2077. The Witcher season 2 : Netflix release date, news and rumors
