A new another Cyberpunk 2077 delay following its latest commitment to a December 10 release date, and while CD Projekt Red made a point of updating its advertising to reflect an early December launch, fans have remained worried.
There's good reason to have at least a little concern over a potential Cyberpunk 2077 delay, to be fair. The game has been delayed several times already, with many expecting an April release at the beginning of 2020 only to have the game shifted from then to September, September to November, and finally November to December. The last delay came after an unfortunate social media exchange just prior to the announcement that saw the Cyberpunk 2077 social media team state that no more delays were coming. These announcements, coupled with some concerning reports about CD Projekt Red developer workloads, have left many wondering where the game stands.
A new Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay trailer may have helped clarify a lot of the concern over potential problems with the game's technical performance or development progress. While consumers already knew Cyberpunk 2077 went gold, the new trailer represents an in-depth, extensive look at how the game performs while it's being played, and a few minutes with the video are likely all it takes to be optimistic about how Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay will feel. The trailer, which aired on the Cyberpunk YouTube channel, also helps assuage fears of another Cyberpunk 2077 delay as it commits to a December 10 release date at its close, showcasing a confidence in when the title will be delivered.
There's a lot to be optimistic about with the above video. Cyberpunk 2077 looks like it has an incredible amount of polish and a smoothness to its action that suggests a great experience from a player perspective. It also doesn't look like a game that has any significant issues to work out, so a Cyberpunk 2077 delay seems less likely now more than ever, even after the developer refuted recent rumors. The video feels like a statement on when Cyberpunk 2077 will release and how it will look, and the message has been received loud and clear based on YouTube comments, which are near-universal in praise.
While there have been some stumbles along the way, it doesn't appear that another Cyberpunk 2077 delay is on the horizon. Instead, the new Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay trailer highlights what to look forward to rather than dread, and it's a compelling case. There are plenty of questions still surrounding the game itself, but interrogating those through gameplay is a much more palatable task than adjusting game release date calendars once more.
Cyberpunk 2077 will release on December 10, 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Google Stadia.
