Not that we've had any sort of firm release date or window from CD Projekt RED concerning the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 - but according to Kotaku's Jason Schreir via Twitter the game will be out in the first half of 2020. According to his sources a 2019 release was the target but unrealistic based on the scope of the project.

Here's the post in full - which does follow on from the rather emphatic statement that Cyberpunk 2077 is "absolutely not coming out this year".

This has gotten a lot of Reddit attention so some clarity: I've heard from three sources that Cyberpunk was aiming for 2019, but belief around the studio was that it was an unrealistic target. I expect first half 2020 or maybe even an E3 announcement of 2019, then a delay to 2020 https://t.co/8QsOatEFfJ

A definite blow for fans expecting or hoping for the release to be late 2019, but there's no way that CD Projekt RED will release the game in an unfinished state. Pushing the release date back to 2020 for additional polish makes sense, but it also joins a big list of titles now rumoured for 2020. Including Sony's Ghosts of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part II, and even the first part of Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII remake. With both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One successors due for release late 2020 it'll definitely be strange to see such a strong line-up right before the release of new hardware.
