Geralt narration is incline.

edit: they couldnt even commit to "its coming in 2019", its simply "coming when ready", which means its 2020 confirmed.

So Fall 2020 for the first bare bones "game".

I don't know if anyone else has speculated this yet, I'm not about to read 108 pages, but I think the game will be out in 2020.

They'll reveal the release date by fading out the word cyberpunk, and put slashes into the number 2077, so it reads 20/7/7.

7th of July, 2020. It's gonna happen.


July 7th will be when they start taking pre-orders.

If July 7th 2020 is a thing, it could just be the Free DLC pack release if the game was released before. Or some other promo shit.

The game was "playable" start to finish in August. If the game isn't going to come out later this year or possibly like March/April 2020 at the latest they'll have missed a big opportunity. A game can also only spend so much time fully manned by 400-500 people; the costs are just too high.

My prediction is that we'll see more footage, night footage, at E3 and probably have a playable demo for the press (but not the general public). They'll be hush hush about the release date because they'd rather wait until Gamescom/closer to the release date so they can maximize hype. The wait between E3 and Gamescom will perpetuate the hype cycle so important for single player AAA games. They'll announce a release date, probably March 2020, and say they were trying so hard to launch in 2019 but haha look now it is released in 2020!

Wouldn't be surprised to later see a "complete edition" be one of the launch titles for PS5 and Xbone 2.0 when they launch in the fall of 2020.

It's good that you've raised this topic. In fact, the game might have been playable since the end of 2017 when one of the devs reported on twatter about some important milestone being reached. But that doesn't mean CDPR are not spending another three years running around the main office thinking about what kind of an RPG they want and moving the release date further away in the end of 2020 because they still not learned systemic approach. That's the spontaneous nature of game development. Witcher 3, lucky for them, succeeded because people liked Skyrim 2 the strong connection between long linear story, similar in quality of writing and presentation side quests and open world despite the many flaws that were addressed on the Codex, their own forums and externalized in Enhanced Edition. I don't get it. Poltards really like acting like western businessmen wasting 100+ gorillion dollars without a plan looking at the market. Is it personal, systemic approach reminds them about planned economy that reminds them of soviet union much? Some 4D chess of psychological issues. I don't understand, maybe locals can explain?

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Basically they got big, and thus their heads get big too. Their stock rise up, got even government funding, thus feel like they can spend alot of money while it is one flop away from bankruptcy.

But 2077 wont flopm the hype among the casuals are pretty high.

Playable from start to finish is one thing, but if you're doing a gigantic open world game (which is what they're doing) I can believe you need years to have it be even remotely close to populated with crafted quests rather than half-assed semi-randomized 'stuff' to do a la Bethesda.

But yeah, this smells like an all or nothing gamble. If it pays off, I can see them expanding to two projects at the same time. If it doesn't - ouch.

Pretty sure this is CDProjekt's modus-operandi by now, each main game is always a "All Or Nothing". Till now, against all odds, it worked every time.

They did try to diversify with GWENT, but that looks to have failed on both fronts.

It's the Polish way, you have a chance of winning only if you are going all in. Half-measures mean instant failure.

All or nothing usually means they have some idea to realize, not to run in circles for 4-5 years. So far they've proven to be clueless on what concept to stick to just like western game industry that are succumbed to and cucked by (RIP Troika) the market and trends within game market. The only truly BASED part of the industry are japanese and some of the indie devs sticking to the vision, to the plan and not wasting money on trendy or momentary thingie.

Even if CP2077 would flop, it would sell enough to set them back to pre W3 state at worst, so they are two flops away from bankruptcy. They would have to either, downsize back to 300 employees and make another game of W3 scale out of CP2077 sales, or sellout to big publisher.

But it's unrealistic expecting it to flop, they acquired status not much far behing Bethesda, no matter the quality it will at least break even on the "merit" of CDP Red brand recognition alone.

Impossible for this game to fail.

Casuals alone will do millions of sales. If the game is really good add the others.

How many more times are we going to see articles with the same 5 screenshots?
