CD Projekt RED announced yet another delay in the release of its much-awaited title. The devs set November 19 as the date of release for Cyberpunk 2077 after several setbacks, but it has undergone yet another change.

The release of the game has been a topic of debate for months now. The devs have been working on the game for years and have provided regular updates on the process of development. But the decision to push back the release of the game for 21 days has met with a lot of backlash from the community.

So much so that some fans have taken their frustration to the next level by sending death threats to the devs of the title. Senior game designer Andrzej Zawadzki sent a message on Twitter to the entire community calling such threats “absolutely unacceptable and just wrong.

Cyberpunk 2077 devs face heat following the delay in release

Andrzej Zawadzki shared his disappointment, calling such threats uncalled for.

The fans have been patiently waiting for the release of the title for years now. But the devs, too, have spent years in the game’s development to roll out a near-perfect title. A three-week delay is certainly disappointing, but it shows that the devs are not leaving any stone unturned in delivering a satisfactory title.

Hopefully, this will be the last hurdle in the title’s release. A lot of blood and sweat has gone into the making of Cyberpunk 2077, and for now, it will release on December 10 for both the current and next-gen consoles.
