Cyberpunk 2077 – Release Date 2019? (Part 2!)

Today we are going to go through Part 2 of why I think Cyberpunk 2077 will release in 2019 with some brand new evidence that Cyberpunk will be coming out sooner than most people are thinking.

Stick around if you’ve checked out Part 1, and want even more convincing as I have a bunch of awesome new tidbits of info here that will get you hyped about a potentially earlier release window.

So the first off the list is a huge one and it’s that Cyberpunk 2077 is playable from start to finish. Yes you heard that right, infact CDPR has done multiple playthroughs, which seem to be around the 100 hour mark leading them to change the ending because they didn’t like it. The main story is complete, and due to the fact that secondary quests WILL influence the main storyline according to this german interview, that could also mean the secondary quests and contracts or street stories are actually also complete.

It was a mere year and change after The Witcher 3 announced it’s story was done, before releasing so if we put that in perspective we might see Cyberpunk 2077 right after E3 next year.

CDPR lproducer Richard borzymowski has stated that it’s a major milestone for the team and that bug fixes, optimization and polishing are now a focus of the development.

This also means that the world of Night City and it’s 6 districts are more than likely almost if not already complete because the quests and secondary quests undoubtably have to weave through each of the districts to get the complete Night City experience.

Next is that CDPR has stated recently that they have 10 separate writers on the project. The script for the witcher 3 was 450,000 words and that just means a whole lot of resources in developing the game absolutely went into the writing.

Now having a big writing force means that side quests and street stories can be developed separate from the story. The writers create an overarching narrative of the entire story, feel and setting of Night City, to know how to lay out the planning and writing for each individual quest line.

Knowing this and their method of looking at everything from a bird’s eye-view means a potentially more efficient writing and editing process.

Next is the fact that CDPR has stated the quests will be similar to The Witcher 3’s in terms of playtime and complexity. This means that despite it being a new IP, quest lengths will remain similar, so it’s not something of a ridiculous scale like double the witcher 3’s quest lengths or 5000 branching paths.

There will be more diversity in the dialogue system and in the branching story lines, but all in all the playtimes of each quest shouldn’t be drastically different from the witcher games.

Finally we have a statement from CDPR that they have learned from the delay the experienced with the witcher and showing it off to soon and causing resentment for downgrades.

Not having seen the demo or any gameplay thus far can make it feel like the release date is farther off than it is. In actuality it could be because they don’t want another downgrade fiasco.

They also don’t want a repeat of the delay experienced with the witcher 3 and this is why they haven’t publically announced a release date. There still is a release date set internally as game developers usually do, but again they are staying on the side of caution this time.

So those are a couple more reasons why the release date may be 2019, make sure you check out Part 1 if you haven’t and for everything cyberpunk subscribe to the arcade today!
