It\u2019s becoming something of an epidemic. The\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/em> was delayed from March to April, and the\u00a0<em>Avengers\u00a0<\/em>game has moved from May to September. But the\u00a0<em>Cyberpunk<\/em> delay is the longest yet. CDPR says in its announcement <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CDPROJEKTRED\/status\/1217861009446182912\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">on Twitter<\/a> that, while the game is playable, it needs fixes, polish, and playtesting. It called the time bought by this delay \u201cthe precious months we need to make the game perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[<em>Read:\u00a0A eulogy for my deceased PS4 controller (2014-2020)<\/em>]<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong. I\u2019m sad that it\u2019ll be yet awhile longer before I get my hands on CDPR\u2019s next adventure, which I\u2019ve been awaiting for seven years now.<\/p>\n<p>But the early spring release season is especially crowded right now. At the moment, we\u2019re looking at\u00a0<em>Ori &amp; the Will of the Wisps<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Animal Crossing: New Horizon<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Doom Eternal<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Persona 5 Royal<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Resident Evil 3 Remake<\/em>, and the first episode of\u00a0<em>Final Fantasy VII Remake\u00a0<\/em>all within the span of a month (March 11-April 10). I game as much as a human could reasonably be able to, and even I doubt I\u2019ll be able to get all the time I want with each game before the next one comes out. That\u2019s not even accounting for the fact that\u00a0<em>Half-Life: Alyx\u00a0<\/em>is supposed to come out at some point in the middle of all that.<\/p>\n<p>In September, on the other hand, the only major release we know of so far is the\u00a0<em>Avengers\u00a0<\/em>game, which is due to come out on September 4. Two weeks with it before\u00a0<em>Cyberpunk<\/em>? That\u2019s a timeframe I can actually work with.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cyberpunk 2077 \u2014 Official Cinematic Trailer | E3 2019\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LembwKDo1Dk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Besides, I suspect that this delay might be for reasons more complex that just a\u00a0need for more QA testing, given the\u00a0game\u2019s rather rocky\u00a0development cycle over the aforementioned seven-year period. It\u2019s been dogged by rumors of brutal crunch, and the leaders of CDPR rather infamously said in a\u00a0<em>Kotaku\u00a0<\/em>interview that they\u2019d started asking\u00a0<em>Cyberpunk<\/em>\u2018s development staff to work nights and weekends, though it wasn\u2019t \u201cmandatory.\u201d (Yeah, sure it wasn\u2019t.)<\/p>\n<p>The response I saw to these claims, that the company was working itself into the ground in an effort to get the game out in one piece, was more or less \u201cWe can wait. We\u2019d rather wait.\u201d Even now, there are some gamers breathing sighs of relief that the company is taking the time it\u2019ll need to make the game great rather than overwork the developers to make it happen.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A reminder for y&#8217;all <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZqNCm2UovQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/ZqNCm2UovQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ?Charlotte?
