Cyberpunk 2077 will not receive all updates, improvements and free DLCs on the expected date, with a change to the game’s roadmap. In fact, all these, which were expected to come towards the end of 2021, have now been postponed to 2022.
The updated roadmap published recently on the Cyberpunk 2077 website shows that the release schedule for 2021 now comes to an end with patch 1.31 released in September of this year. The game’s free next-gen update and all other “updates, improvements, and free DLCs” are scheduled for this period and beyond.
No specific reason has been given for the delay yet, but the announcement comes just weeks after CD Projekt Red announced that next-gen upgrades for the game’s Xbox Series X and PS5 have been pushed to Q1 2022 along with the next-gen. The upgrade for The Witcher 3 has also been delayed to the second quarter of 2022. These delays were implemented as a result of “recommendations made by the teams overseeing both games” and a desire to “justify”; At least that’s what the company says.
With all of Cyberpunk 2077’s major updates and improvements planned for 2021 delayed to 2022, it can be said that the studio will spend the rest of this year preparing for a fresh start next year.
It’s been almost a year since Cyberpunk 2077 was released in December 2020, and given the problems, it’s perhaps not surprising that CD Projekt Red is willing to take the time to properly implement this next phase of development. True next-gen releases — if they’re good — can breathe new life into the game on consoles, and for now, the studio may be prioritizing this long-term goal over free DLC and fixes that will help games instantly.
Due to the ongoing epidemic, 2020 and 2021 brought many problems for game development studios, as in many other sectors, and many games are currently being delayed. . .
