Much like The Witcher III: Wild Hunt before it, Warner Bros will be responsible for the distribution and promotion of Cyberpunk 2077 in North America. Obviously getting games into store shelves takes a lot of effort and manpower, and Polish developer CD Projekt Red will be entrusting that task to the experts at the aforementioned publishing powerhouse.
“Cyberpunk 2077 is our biggest and most ambitious project to date, and I’m really looking forward to all the amazing things we can achieve together,” CDPR’s Michał Nowakowski said of its new deal with Warner Bros.
There’s no word yet on who will handle distribution in Europe, but it worked with Bandai Namco for Geralt’s previous outing, so it’s probably safe to assume that relationship will be revived – although nothing has been announced at this time. The studio’s still saying that this title is in production for the PlayStation 4, but frankly we have our doubts on that front.

@LaNooch1978 I think they have to say it's a PS4/current generation game. They would be absolutely nuts to ignore such a large install base and its sales potential to focus solely on next generation at this point. I do agree with you that there may be an enhanced version for the new machines.
@LaNooch1978 I'm with you on that one. Speculations told as facts are annoying, especially when the studio says otherwise. It's like saying Skyrim wasn't a ps3 game.
We neither have a release date for the PS5 nor Cyberpunk 2077. So... I'm not sure which conclusion to draw. Maybe Half Life 3?
Maybe it will be the first "PS4 Pro" only game.
Well maybe running on Pro, a slowly walking slideshow on Slim.
As much as I've been impressed with some of the Pro enhancements, having played H:ZD and GoW I never felt like I needed a Pro b/c the game wasn't working well enough. It's always felt like Slim was fine, Pro was enhanced for 4k tvs, which I don't have.
I know Sony said never, but I keep waiting just the same.
This will be a PC purchase. My mid-range rig from 2015 will likely run it at merely acceptable settings, but it's still a good deal more powerful than my PS4. I just don't see streets with those levels of crowd density playing well on current gen hardware.
What's the bet they push this back a little after they see RDR2 cause they will be challenged and inspired. Competition is good for everyone especially the gamers.
I will download free GOG version to play on my High-end PC, I won't give this PC Master Race publisher a penny. They don't respect the console gaming.
Or give money to the developers?
Random question: Had CyGames ever made games for the PS4 before? If so, who published them?
So will there be two versions of PS5? A standard one and a 4K version like the PS4 Pro?
