Won't be surprised, but I have *some* hope it will hit November with what we learned about where the game is at today.

I think 2021 is getting more likely, but I also kind of think if they really needed it, they would have just pushed it back to 2021. It seems they aren't too concerned about the time frame, at least based on their investors meetings if that's true. So, who knows.

They should stop giving us release dates until they know the game is about to go gold. I just don't see the point of announcing release dates if you're not completely sure the game will truly be done by then. I do think it'll release in November, just in time for PS5 and Xbox Series X, but I won't be surprised if there's yet another delay.

the GPU creators need Cyberpunk 2077 to drive sales of the cards and vice versa...since both AMD and Nvidia are releasing next-gen cards this Fall they need Cyberpunk to come out a few weeks after the new GPU's...November 2020 is good but February 2021 might be better...Fall/Winter 2020 is stacked with really amazing hardware launches- Ampere, Big Navi, Zen 3, Rocket Lake S...so CDPR needs to figure out the optimal time to maximize profits

there's a reason the original release date was April 2020...CDPR did not want to release the game during the busy holiday season...April 2021 might be the perfect launch date but Elden Ring might also come out during that time which muddies the waters

Huh, I see that I made the right choice in that previous poll.

Judging by their wordings from today's announcement, seems like the game is ready, but they still have lots of balancing and bug fixing. There's plenty of time until Novemeber, so I'm calling it's the final date this time.

April 29th 2021.

Also, fix your poll OP. The question doesn't match the thread title. So you're getting people voting wrongly.

Terrible move. This usually just gets inaccurate results because people don't give a shit to pass your "attention check" properly.

It's not a "terrible move". This isn't serious enough for me to be concerned about scientific results, and it's already worth it to me seeing some of the reactions. I'll trust that most people read the 1 sentence above the poll.

I voted no mostly because I want it to be no. But I wouldn't be surprised if it did.



Edit: Whoops. Fell for the old thread-title/poll switcharoo. Changed it to YES.

Seriously though, I didn't expect people to get THIS bent out of shape over the poll. I'll ask a mod if they can change it.

Well, back to the question: maybe it will, maybe it won't.
I don't even think this last two months delay was because the game is not finished.
It was most likely more related to some strategy/marketing choice (i.e. waiting for some hardware to be available on the market, for instance? Both new consoles, Nvidia new GPUs and new AMD CPUs are expected for this Autumn).

And when it comes to "fixing bugs", for a project of this complexity I don't expect that to stop for a good full year AFTER release, anyway.

It's possible that this final delay was just caused by the shift to WFH. Maybe that would cause another. It is hard to predict right now.

Yes, it actually was done 100% on purpose. Making sure you are paying attention. And having some fun.

Why even have a poll?

The Witcher 3 had a LOT of QOL updates. I'm sure they won't release it if it still has game-breaking bugs or anything crazy like that but I'd be surprised if it gets delayed again.

Call me crazy but I just don't see another delay. It would be pretty ridiculous at that point, and I think they recognize that this one is already having people getting pretty ticked at them.
