Cyberpunk 2077‘s next massive update 2.3, which was on course to release this Thursday or June 26, has now been officially delayed as the devs said they need more time till they’re “happy with it”.
“We initially hoped to put Update 2.3 in your hands on June 26,” CD Projekt Red wrote in a post on their official Twitter/X account. “However, we’ll need some more time to make sure we’re happy with it — we’re aiming for a scope similar to Update 2.2. We’ll update you further as soon as we can! We appreciate your patience!”
CD Projetk’s Global Community Director, Marcin Momot also added, “Turns out we’re going to need more time with this one,” while apologizing to fans who were eagerly waiting for the new patch: “Sorry for the wait and thanks for your patience, everyone!”
While the sound of the delay may seem a bit disappointing, but the fact that the devs will be using the added time to make the upcoming contents for Cyberpunk 2077 even better and more polished can make it all totally worthwhile, though. CD Projekt has not announced any further date as to when the upcoming patch is expected to arrive, but they might in a few days so here’s hoping.
The great thing about Cyberpunk 2077’s post-game updates is that they don’t just come with the standard set of bug fixes and other quality of life improvements, the updates also bring entire new contents that enrich the overall gameplay experience in unexpected ways. For example, the previous patch of Cyberpunk 2077 brought lots of new customization options and made Johnny Silverhand, played by Keanu Reeves, appear next to the player character way more frequently, which increased the immersion of the game by a landslide.
In other news of the game, the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 which was earlier known as Project Orion, has now entered the pre-production stage of development while the actual game is expected to arrive after 2030 and beyond.
But all eyes are now on CD Projekt RED’s upcoming epic fantasy RPG The Witcher 4 which recently showcased a stunning tech demo featuring several new elements of Unreal Engine 5, all of which will be implemented in the game to make it push new technological boundaries and create a level of realism that’s never been seen in videogames so far.
