Nope, you’re not getting (cyber)punk’d. CD Projekt Red has delayed the anticipated next-gen updates for its two massive role-playing games, Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
“We have an important update regarding [the] next-generation updates of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3,” the company said in a statement posted to Twitter. “Based on recommendations supplied by teams supervising the development of both games, we decided to postpone their releases until 2022.”
CD Projekt Red said that the next-gen upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077 is now slated for the first quarter of the next year, while the upgrade for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will come out in the quarter after. Both were initially planned for release before the end of 2021.
Players were no doubt excited to play a spruced-up version of The Witcher 3, one of the games that defined the past decade of gaming, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The game at least functions, and plays perfectly fine, via backward compatibility on those consoles. (And to further ground expectations, you also have to consider that a next-gen upgrade for a six-year-old game will no doubt make it look prettier and load faster, but you’ll still be playing a six-year-old game.)
