When will 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077 come out? The best answer from the developers themselves is 'when it's ready'. It's been more than half a decade since we first learned a Cyberpunk RPG from the Witcher studio was in the cards, but 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red still isn't inclined to give the rest of the world an estimate of when we can start playing it. So that's the official word. But if we take a look at the development timeline for CDPR's last big open-world RPG, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 3, and cಌompare it to what we know about Cyberpunk 2077,🧜 we can come to some conclusions of our own.

An important note: even with the same studio working on another project in the same overall genre and on the same (albeit significantly upgraded) engine, thi♏s article couldn't possibly account for all of the variables that go into the production of a massive game like Cyberpunk 2077. In other words - and this is good life advice in general - don't expect anything extrapolated from a previous event to 100-percent reliably dictate the course of a following event.

. The Witcher 3's release date was May 19, 2015, so that puts the beginning of development at late 2011. Game director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz told that he was put in charge of work on The Witcher 3 in summer 2011, but the difference in dates could reflect the start of small-scale planning versus full-on development 🧸with a big team. So we have our first important figure:

The Witcher 3 development took about 3.5 to 4 years from start to finish.

Before we can u꧅se that knowledge to help estimate when Cyberpunk 2077 will come out, we have to establish when the game entered development. According to that Eurogamer interview, CDPR had internally decided on making an RPG based on the Cyberp🐲unk tabletop RPG series as of summer 2011. It did not reveal its intentions to the outside world until , and the project wasn't officially announced as Cyberpunk 2077 until the first teaser trailer came out in . That's already a long time to be keeping an ambitious project like this in your back pocket.

But the wait stretched on even longer. A꧂lmost all of CDPR's staff was dedicated to finishing The Witcher 3, and much of it stayed on to support the game after launch with free updatღes and two paid DLC expansions.

"It’s been over 2077 days since we announced our plan to develop Cyberpunk 2077," CDPR wrote in a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:hidden message in Cyberpunk 2077's E3 2018 trailer. "We released a CGI trailer, gave some interviews and… went dark. Normal proce💖dure for these kinds of thing﷽s - you announce a game and then shut up, roll up your sleeves and get to work. We wanted to give you the Witcher 3 and both expansions first, which is why this period of staying silent was longer than we planned. Sorry for that."

"As soon as we concluded work on Blood and Wine, we were able to go full speed ahead with CP2077’s pre-production. But we chose to remain silent. Why? 𓃲At that point we made the decision to resume talking about the game when we have something to show. Something meaningful and substantial. This is because we do realize you’ve been impatiently waiting for a very long time, and we wouldn&rꦛsquo;t like anyone to feel that we’re taking this for granted. On the contrary - it gives us a lot of extra motivation."

The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine came out on May 31, 2016, so we can put the "full speed ahead" pre-production start date for Cyberpunk 2077 in that month. May 2016 i🐠s five years after CDPR had decided to make the game! Some Cyberpunk-shaped things were definitely happening before then, but it sounds like♉ they weren't substantial enough to figure into the calculations here.

If Cyberpunk 2077 takes about the𒊎 same time to make as The Witcher 3, it will come out in time for holiday 2𝓡019 or early 2020.  To fall on the conservative side (and line up nicely with The Witcher 3's five-year anniversary)...

I'm estimating a May 2020 release date.

That probably sounds too far away for a game that just showed off a solid 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:48-minute chunk of gameplay to the world. Unfortunately it isn't; CDPR confirmed in June that the gameplay demo is built on a pre-alpha version of the game (which, to skip the technical explanation, means it's still quite early). The studio also took great pains to point out that the final produ🔥ct may differ quite a bit from the demo , further establishing this 🏅is not a game that just needs to before it's ready for mass consumption. 

Mike Pondsmith, the original creator of Cyberpunk, is advising patience as well: "I waited 30 years to get this, it was worth it," Pondsmith told at E3. "You guys can wait a few more years. It will be worth it." And yes, you'll probably be able to澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: play it on PS5 and Xbox Scarlett.
