News video games 20 March 2017, 20:48 author: luckie Cyberpunk 2077 likely out by June 2019 Along with accepting a large grant for several of Cyberpunk 2077-related technologies, CD Projekt RED agreed to release the results of their work by June 2019. This is currently the most likely time window for that game's launch.

Recently weve learned that CD Projekt RED, the creators of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has been given a large grant from the Polish government for several gaming technologies. Interestingly, a Reddit user dug out some interesting details about the conditions the developer agreed to respect (thanks, The Escapist!). One of them is the timeframe for the four major projects  i.e. seamless multiplayer, cinematic feel, animation excellence and city creation, which are all believed to be designed specifically for Cyberpunk 2077  which is scheduled until June 2019. The funded projects are to be released by that date, however the studio can ask to have the deadline extended.

Although it wasnt mentioned directly, we can safely assume that seamless multiplayer, cinematic feel, animation excellence and city creation are technologies designed with a view to creating Cyberpunk 2077.

That would mean that we are likely to play Cyberpunk 2077 within the next two years, which is a fairly reasonable timeframe, since the works kicked off at full speed only after the release of the Hearts of Stone expansion, in late 2015. CD Projekts next RPG is said to be bigger, better and prettier than The Witcher 3. The game is going to run on RedEngine 4, the next version of their in-house game engine.
