Cyberpunk 2077 could be launching this year, according to a rather shaky 'leak' that's since been deleted. Spotted by a Reddit user, a description on the official website for Territory Studio -- the company that worked on the cool logo design and animation for Cyberpunk 2077 -- apparently stated that the game is set to release in 2019. This statement was supposedly removed from the description shortly after it was made public.
Naturally, this has sparked quite a bit of speculation. CD Projekt Red is constantly reiterating that the title is coming "when it's ready", but with Cyberpunk 2077 a lock for E3 this year, could the developer be ramping up for release? We suppose it's feasible, but we still find ourselves doubting it.
What do you think? Could Cyberpunk 2077 actually release in 2019, or is there just no way? Place your bets in the comments section below.

I highly doubt it but would be amazing.
I'd be pleasantly surprised but I'm hammering the doubt button like Cole Phelps.
Yeah this doesn't seem likely.
I'd absolutely love this to be true but.....Reddit user.
Probably not. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be true!
I'd be curious to see how many of these release date leaks actually are accurate. They seem to be a pretty regular occurence; we always get told of a site accidentally revealing a release date. However, it's soon forgot about and when the release date is officially revealed I never think back to the leak to see if was true.
If a high number of these leaks were proven to be correct, maybe we'd have a better idea of whether we could rely on them in the future.
Nah, I'd be amazed. But you never know. It would make my Christmas
Oh, c'mon, It'll obviously come out in 2077, it's right there in the name!
Now that RE2 remake is out this is officially my most wanted game. Even if it's a solid 8/10 I will probably love it for the thematics.
I will never say never with a games release date. This game was announced 6yrs ago and therefore could well be close to finishing. I know that the 'early' stages of development may well of been very slow as the majority were involved with getting the Witcher 3 finished and released, then of course the DLC too - the final DLC released nearly 3yrs ago. We don't know how many staff were involved with the DLC and how many had moved over to Cyberpunk after the Witcher 3 released. Chances are, unless they have been secretly working on other projects, the majority have been working on Cyberpunk for at least the last 3yrs - if not since May 2015 when the Witcher 3 released - nearly 4yrs ago.
There has been little/no indication as to how far along the development path this game is. We know they were in a position to show off 45mins of the game at E3 last year - something that was then released publicly afterwards. It seemed that that 'slice' of gameplay was quite well developed. The world, or at least that part, seemed to be well occupied and working. We only saw a 'slice' but there seemed to be opportunities to interact with the world instead of progressing that particular part of the quest. It looked like we could of deviated off the path and interacted with the environment or other NPC's.
However, we do not know if the game was 'close' to be ready or that just that slice was 'readied' for E3, to get an idea of the interest, whether it was well received so they know that the path they are on is worth pushing on with or whether it needs to be changed before it becomes too late to change.
CD Projekt Red have stated the game will be ready when its ready and whether that means a 2019 release, we will have to see. 2020 too could be an option as that would be a significant year as the Board game its based on is Cyberpunk 2020.
I would love to get this sooner rather than later, but ONLY if its ready to be released. I would love to play this on a 'next' gen console too so I would also be happy to wait until those are ready to release and then play this on better hardware. I can't lie and say I would prefer to play this on the current gen when the 'next' gen is relatively close too - we are in the 6th year and only 2/3rds of a year away from this generations 6th birthday...
I hope not. I'm content to wait for next generation hardware, to play a good version of the game. I wouldn't be surprised if a base PS4 version of the game ran terribly.
I'd love it, but I don't think it's going to happen; late 2020 seems like a safe bet to me.
And you know, maybe there will be a new console or two to release it on as well, just saying
I'm doubtful of this. Anyway, it would be much better that they take their time and release a masterpiece instead of rushing things and releasing something that's merely quite good.
We probably won’t get a release date until it goes gold. As there is likely to be a physical release that will probably mean a couple of months before it’s released. Where that year is this year I don’t know but we won’t know the year of release until a fairly short time before release.
Nope never. I even doubt it will next year. My bet is 2021. They will set the release date for next year but most likely delay to another year. A game of this scope and magnitude needs a lot of time to polish like RDR2.
I can’t help but hope it comes this year but the fact that it is based off a game that is actually titled 2020 I don’t think they’re going to pass up on the marketing & all round irony of it releasing in 2020. My say is beginning of 2020 but it could still be in the 2019 fiscal year which is where the confusion might be coming from. BUT I WANT IT YESTERDAY!
Would be great... I am so excited for this game that I decided to finally finish the Blood and Wine DLC on The Witcher.
I just cant wait for cyberpunk to release, just for it to be a buggy mess. CDPR with their "when its ready" nonsense is going to make them look pretty stupid.
Hope not, just because there's already too many amazing games coming out this year. Hope it's a 2020 release just because of that.
Y’all are insane if you think it’s coming this year.
Chance of 2019 release - I’d say about 10%.
2020 - probably 80% chance. 2021 - I’d say 10% as well.
When it's Ready.
I seem to be in the minority who think 2019 is highly probable. @BAMozzy has already covered a lot of the reasons but would add they seem to be expanding their PR departments recently with Hollie Joining the UK branch and just the other day advertising for a PR manager in the US.
I think we will find out at E3. I really don’t mind when it comes out, I just hope it isn’t close to TLOUS 2 or Ghost of T.
2019 I can't see happening, doesn't match their MO really.
