"Soon, my friend, soon!" That's it. That's the tweet. And it's been enough to get thousands of people talking about Cyberpunk 2077 again within the space of about five minutes. We've been writing about games for a while now, but we rarely see hype this volatile.
The official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account is no stranger to vague tweets being met with a tidal wave of excitement, but since we're so close to E3, well... It's reaching unprecedented levels.
But enough about the hype -- what the heck does the tweet mean? Our guess is a fairly obvious one -- it's gotta be referring to E3 2019, which, as alluded, is just over a month away. Developer CD Projekt Red has previously confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be there. It also said during a financial briefing that this year's show would be the most important in the company's history.
Many have speculated that we might finally get a Cyberpunk 2077 release date, and we certainly wouldn't rule it out. Perhaps adding to the excitement is that throughout the year, there have been rumours and whispers that the game's actually launching in 2019. We're not completely sold on that theory, but if we really do get a '2019' at the end of the inevitable E3 trailer, then the internet really will implode.
Update: The account's tweeted again, replying to the tweet this article is based on. It reads: "We meant #CDPRstore in the US, what else did you think?" followed by a wink emote.
It's referring to the newly opened CD Projekt Red merchandise store that, at launch, doesn't ship to countries outside of Europe, but clearly the developer's having a laugh here. We all know what this is about, the cheeky sods.

If it's out in 2019 then that's me tearing my backlog up. Can't see it though
Oh CDPR you cheeky buggers, just like Trent Alexander-Arnold taking corners.
Way more interested in this than witcher 3 (still not been able to get past the opening hours). Cant wait to hear more
@ApostateMage Would you believe me if I said I was literally about to post a comment basically saying the exact same thing?
That's creepy.
@ApostateMage That took real stones. Never seen anything quite like it Still can't believe Liverpool pulled it off!
Absolutely can't wait for this game. Only FFVIIR is a more eagerly awaited game for me. I really hope they have an in-depth character creation system and not just a few presets.
@ShogunRok First.
@Rob_230 I think even Klopp himself was gobsmacked at the end. Magical night.
@ApostateMage Celtic fan here so Liverpool's my obligatory English team. What a brilliant atmosphere and I just hope they don't end up missing out on the league by 1 point.
Doesn't really take much for the Internet to lose its mind, does it?
It was a great comeback but it doesn't quite beat Middlesbrough 's 4-1 against Basel and 4-2 against Steaua Bucharest doublet to get to the UEFA Cup final. Not bad for a small town in Europe while the geordies were at home watching The Bill.
@NintendoFan4Lyf
Yeah. Lay the money down! My bet is 2020
@ApostateMage Barca's defence during that corner = me frantically trying to get some money together if Cyberpunk gets released
“We all know that this is about, “ @shogunrok Is this supposed to read like this? This seems a little funny
@themcnoisy I just think of you when I see this article picture.
@Jaz007 Supposed to be a 'what' instead of 'that'. Good spot!
Over a month away is soon?
Its shame, but I'm one of those who won't be playing because it is 1st ppov. I just feel ill playing first person games no matter how many tips any tricks I try. Yet just a simple pull back of 3rd ppov stops it. Unfortunately this means no borderlands or rage either.
@Gumbopudding, that sucks for you. I don't find it an issue at all and generally prefer first person, but you know, different strokes for different folks. That said I see people playing Bethesda games in 3rd person and wonder what kind of a psycho they are. 😂😂😂😂 AHH you never know, it might have a 3rd person mode come release.
There go my travel plans for the winter.
throws money at screen
Hmmm...release date in late November maybe?
