The next big RPG from The Witcher 3 creators CD Projekt Red will be a sprawling sci-fi story about hackers, seedy criminals, and warring corporations. Cyberpunk 2077 is said to be a massive game, with a dense open world full of NPCs and side quests. You can drive around in and outside of the city (and call your car like Roach in The Witcher 3), explore buildings, and hack, shoot, or negotiate your way through a main story involving Keanu Reeves (as dead rockstar Johnny Silverhand).

Originally, Cyberpunk was supposed to have released by now, but CD Projekt delayed it back in January, and then again more recently. Cyberpunk 2077 is now scheduled for a November launch. In the meantime, we've dug through what feels like a decade of announcements, interviews and demos to bring you all the important details about character creation, combat, romance, the story, and the world.

Here's what we know about Cyberpunk 2077 so far:

Cyberpunk 2077 release date
The Cyberpunk 2077 release date is November 19, 2020 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. On PC, it'll be on Steam and GOG and will release on Google Stadia at some point, too.

Cyberpunk was originally going to release on April 16, but CD Projekt RED announced in January that it needed "more time to finish playtesting, fixing and polishing". It was pushed to September, and then another delay was announced on June 18, and Cyberpunk 2077 was moved to November.

Surprisingly, CD Projekt Red didn't mention the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as a reason for the second delay. Instead, it said that given the size of the game it needs more time "to properly go through everything, balance game mechanics and fix a lot of bugs."

According to the devs, street traffic was bugged in our demo build, that’s why there was less traffic than planned. There should be cars going around on the streets in the complete game. There were less pedestrians on the sidewalks compared to the very first demo, but it was still more than enough to make the city feel lived-in.
