Cyberpunk 2077 Development Didn't Start in Full Until After The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine Launched - News

Cyberpunk 2077 was announced over six years ago and is still in development. The game's lead cinematic animator Maciej Pietras in an interview with Jeuxactu explained why it has taken so long. 

Pietras says that development on the game did not properly start until after The Witcher 3 expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine released.

Cyberpunk 2077 is in development for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC.

Thanks GamingBolt.

Even if I love everything CD Projekt Red puts out, it kind of annoys me that they announced this game so early.

Agreed. Cyberpunk should have been announced right about now. Same for Death Stranding.

Looking like a launch title for 2020. I'd rather they take their time and get it right.

There's no chance it comes out this year. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 2021, though I'm hopeful 2020 happens.
