Cyberpunk 2077 fans furious after game is delayed for the fourth time CD Projekt RedCyberpunk 2077 fans were left furious after developer CD Projekt Red delayed the anticipated title into December. The move sparked backlash on social media from players angry that the game\u2019s release had been moved for the fourth time. [jwplayer 91I9RIGm] By all accounts, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most anticipated titles of all time. First announced back in 2012, the title was set to launch alongside PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in November. However on October 27, CD Projekt Red shocked fans when they delayed the game by three weeks. The move sparked fury online from players fed up with the game\u2019s erratic release schedule. Cyberpunk 2077 community outraged over another delay Cyberpunk was initially set to release in April 2020 before being moved to September, then November, and now December. In a statement posted on Twitter, the Polish developer stated that they were struggling to release the title on multiple platforms. \u201cThe biggest challenge for us right now is shipping the game on current-gen, next-gen, and PC at the same time, which requires us to prepare and test 9 versions of it,\u201d the announcement read. The team also went on to explain why they had told players that the game had gone \u201cgold\u201d earlier in the month, while still needing more time. According to the creators, they could get a lot done in the extra 21 days.

One tweet in particular went viral that showed CD Projekt Red telling a fan on October 26 that the game was absolutely coming out on time \u2013 a day before they announced the delay. To add salt to the wound, the user had actually booked the day off from work. Luckily for them though, the fan updated followers hours later and said their boss gave them their day back after showing them the tweet by the Polish developer. Other fans took to Twitter to voice their frustrations over the delay messing up their plans. One user exclaimed, \u201cLmao what a joke. It was understandable the first couple of times\u2026but you said last time would 100% be the release date.\u201d Another player said, \u201cI understand the decision, but a lot of us I\u2019m sure asked for time off on our jobs to be able to play this game.\u201d Some were so frustrated by the delays, they outright canceled their pre-orders. \u201cCancelling my pre order now. 4th time this game has been pushed back. All my hype has been killed.\u201d Another Cyberpunk fan agreed, and posted, \u201cJust refunded the purchase. There is no point in buying a game from a dev who cannot keep their promise.\u201d Due to the challenges that can be faced during a game\u2019s development, it\u2019s extremely common for titles to get delayed. Because of its complexity, it can be hard to pin down a concrete release date as problems can arise at any moment.
