Cyberpunk 2077 Release Date Rumours

Rumours regarding Cyberpunk 2077's release date have been rampant for months now, but it looks like any hope of the game launching later this year has just been crushed. Replying to another user on Twitter, ever-reliable source of juicy info and Kotaku editor Jason Schreier says that the game is "absolutely not coming out this year".

A 2019 release date for Cyberpunk 2077 always seemed like a stretch, but the rumours didn't spring up out of nothing. Back in March, there was a short-lived leak that attached a 2019 release window to CD Projekt Red's role-playing title, which caused a bit of a stir. Not long after, the Polish developer said that E3 2019 would be its "most important ever", fuelling the already intense speculation.

So is there a chance that we'll still get a release date at E3? Well, it's entirely possible, it's just that it won't have '2019' slapped on the end of it. All we know for sure is that Cyberpunk 2077 will be at the event, and there will be gameplay presentations for both the public and the press. We fully expect an information blowout, in any case.

Did you think Cyberpunk was going to launch this year? Or did you always think it was pegged for 2020 and beyond? Augment your expectations in the comments section below.
