Cyberpunk 2077 is being delayed yet again, this time till December 10th.

“The biggest challenge for us right now is delivery the game on current-gen, next-gen, and PC at the same time, which requires us to put together and take a look at 9 versions of it,” the company stated in a tweet. “We want to make certain the whole lot works well and every version runs smoothly. We’re aware it might seem unrealistic when someone says 21 days can make any distinction in this kind of large and complicated game, however, they honestly do.”

Cyberpunk 2077 formally went gold (i.e. locked a launch model of the game) in early October, and the developers promised thru Twitter that “no more delays are happening.” The launch model continues to be finished, but CD Projekt Red has been developing further updates for the day of the game’s launch. “This is the term we under-calculated,” the tweet says — even after an unanticipated crunch period that’s visible developers working overtime.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been one of the most highly anticipated video games of 2020. But with the latest delay, it’s going to be just squeaking in on the stop of this year.
