“Those of you who are familiar with the way we make games know that we won’t ship something which is not ready,” CDPR wrote. “‘Ready when it’s done’ is not just a phrase we say because it sounds right, it’s something we live by even when we know we’ll take the heat for it.
“At the time we are writing these words, Cyberpunk 2077 is finished both content and gameplay-wise,” CDPR continued. “The quests, the cutscenes, the skills and items; all the adventures Night City has to offer–it’s all there. But with such an abundance of content and complex systems interweaving with each other, we need to properly go through everything, balance game mechanics and fix a lot of bugs. A huge world means a huge number of things to iron out and we will spend the additional time doing exactly that.”
