The recent delays in the games has made everyone worried about their favorite upcoming game releases may not release this year. By mid-August the preparation for release of the games are done. But due to the unprecedented situations of Covid-19 many developers have to switch their working environment from "Work from office" to "Work from home" which intricates the project, and so delays are likely to happen, especially when it comes to AAA games and this may also affect their sales more than what they would expect. 

One very popular game is Cyberpunk 2077 which I guess has gained massive popularity in the gaming industry. Cyberpunk 2077 was expected to launch in April but then the project was delayed to September and then from September to November! Is this the last delay (I wish 🤞 it releases this year).




Why it will get delayed?

This is just my opinion so yeah. The game is being developed by  CD Projekt, CD Projekt RED which implies that they want to deliver this game as exemplary as possible, so to not risk their credibility. They would obviously miss the holiday selling period which is already becoming less overcrowded per day, Cyberpunk will definitely be a massive hit anytime it releases because of the massive popularity that is gained which will be least affected by the other AAA games.

The game is almost too broad and optimistic to be ready right now. Paul Tassi had posted around two of the Night City previews, which is almost too good for real, and this game just doesn't seem ready yet despite its big expectations and more time just continues to improve what it already has in the game.

Why it will not get delayed?

The more the dates for the release of the game is coming closer the more I am thinking that it's not gonna get delayed again. Why? because the debut footage of cyberpunk 2077 doesn't look incomplete or in any way unpleasant unlike other AAA games (look at Halo infinite's).

Unlike other games which could only work out on a short promotional videos of their game for like less than 15 minutes since last 8 months, Cyberpunk 2077 already released many demo footages. Early previews of the game were also available. Influencers and journalists have pretty much got a hands-on of the main segment of the game and they all came out giving positive reviews of the game. Based the reviews I don't think it's gonna get delayed any further and they will launch it in November for sure.

Last but not the least,  CD Projekt, CD Projekt RED claimed that the game was in "A complete form" and the reason for the delay was being put  mostly for polishing the game. That said, CDPR still felt "comfortable" regarding the delivery date in September and it was doubtful that any delays would arise. But again it has been postponed.
