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

That, unfortunately, way players on Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles testament have to wait a some more months ahead they rear end enjoy the full next-gen experience. The announcement comes via a CD Projekt investor update warning that the Hacker 2077 upgrade will at once launch in Q1 2022 (that's January, February or March) at the recommendation of those supervising the project.

The succeeding-gen upgrade of CD Projekt's hugely popular The Witcher 3: Wild Run is also getting come to with a delay, now being pushed back to Q2 2022 (Apr, May, June). Surrendered that Cyberpunk 2077 was hitting with multiple delays – and still came call at a disappointing state – we wouldn't be shocked if the side by side-gen promote was pushed hindmost even further to avoid any more fan backlash.

Delays are naught new in gaming and by now Cyberpunk 2077 fans bequeath be Sir Thomas More than ill-used to seeing that painting yellow background explaining that the game they long-run to play out has been pushed back yet once more.

For the most part, delays aren't really an way out, as the famed Shigeru Miyamoto cite goes "A delayed game is one of these days good, a terrible game is bad eternally." Generally, the Mario creator is correct. When given Sir Thomas More time to let the game in order, developers are able to deliver the best realistic experience to fans.

However, what added insult to injury in the case of CD Projekt Red's sci-fi RPG was that the delays didn't resultant role in a good game; Cyberpunk 2077 stillness launched atomic number 3 a glitchy tidy sum that was barely playable on the PS4 or Xbox One. The situation was so crappy that it was even booted turned the PlayStation platform at one point.

Can we trust Candela Projekt Cherry once more?

Now that delays are once again hitting the game, we tail't assistance but be worried that we'll be destroyed again; that when Adjoin 2022 rolls around CD Projekt Chromatic leave scare and release Cyberpunk's side by side-gen upgrade half-baked rather than risk further delay.

Its efforts to spell Cyberpunk 2077 and the wording of its update have us hopeful that this won't follow the vitrine, simply even nearly a class aft Cyberpunk was free information technology's solid to trust the once-beloved studio again.

We'll have to wait and see what the adjacent-gen elevate holds, but if CD Projekt Red makes a misstep all the same over again information technology might be game over for Cyber-terrorist 2077.
