Does anyone think it's kinda weird though that we don't have a offical release date yet besides the vague this year? Hell, we still don't have a price point for the expansion yet.

Not really no. Do we really need to go over the history again and explain why they're careful about that sort of info?
No. They're clearly very wary of cocking up once again. Near every player who has long term interest in this game, such as myself - while remaining grateful for the improvements, will be going through every claim and realization with a fine tooth comb.
Maybe weird wasn't the right choice of words, but it's just Destiny 2 Lightfall we know that's coming out in Feb 28th. and that's a Q1 release date. We knew that since last year.
Tbh i would rather see them go: Ok guys we finished PL we are releasing it tomorrow heres a trailer without any embelisments! Doubt it will happend but atleast it would not build any false hype.
Well, it's still semi normal at this point.
Once your release date is out there, it's largely set in stone. Any delay is going to be a problem under normal circumstances but it's not normal circumstances. It's following a game that was delayed 3 times and still launched in a pretty bad shape. They can't have that happen again. If they say X date and then have to push it back, it'll automatically conjure memories of CP2077's launch and people will go full doom and gloom and they can't have that. Whenever they announce it, it's because the date is absolutely certain and it will most likely be very close to release as that is usually the point where they can be certain.
My guess is that even the quarter isn't entirely certain at this point. They are probably aiming for a Q1 but most likely late Q1 that could end up being early Q2.
Ultimately, they're doing the right thing by keeping it under wraps until they can absolutely deliver.
COMING: WHEN IT'S READY They should never have abandoned that idea. To prevent the expansion from breaking the game and again CDPR be all over the news with: CDPR keeps breaking the game with every update and thousands of new videos are created discrediting the expansion. They should do an important test so that it comes out as stable as possible.
They must give us a quality product because we are going to pay and the fans deserve a great job, we like what you do and we want more and better!!!! It will also be the best way to regain prestige.
News about an approximate date could be very good if the development is quite advanced, otherwise silence is the best ally.
It was initially announced as Q1 and then at some point it went to "in 2023" which basically says that it wont be in Q1.
Difference between CP2077 main game and expansion is that they dont really have deadlines to meet to I~m pretty sure that developers will have final word this time. After all they have to make 1.7 - test it and then think about giving any specific date.

Just wondering, when have they ever offically stated Q1? All they have said offically is 2023 (to my knowledge), and it's in the "final stages of production."
That is correct. Knowing this; I think it would be best we all expect a release date of Dec. 31st, 2023 at the earliest. It sounds cynical, perhaps even insulting, but it really is best that everyone assume the expansion will just be out as late as possible with no more than what's been shown. As of right now, from what they've shown, they're selling a few hours of story content in an unfinished district, anything else is speculation that will end in disappointment.
As far as I know, you're right... nothing about "when" the expansion will be released in 2023. So it could be February (results for the radio contest at the end of January) or end of December.
From : Transcript of audio webcast on CD PROJEKT Group Q3 2022 financial results
I recently got a Asus ROG Strix 4080 OC, and it runs already fantastic in 4K with Highest Settings + Highest RT and DLSS on Performance, smooth 60 FPS. I hope in the next update they will include DLSS3 with that Overdrive Mode i saw in one of their videos. Compared to my 2070 RTX (which could only handle 1440p without raytracing in 60fps basically) this new card is a absolute beast.
Q1 was mentioned during inverstors summary somewhere in a middle of 2022 followed by mentioning it again during investors call. Then somewhere around late summer narration switched to 2023 and thats it. Should be still somewhere on CDPR page but it doesnt really matter at this point. It will be this year when its ready.
It will come out before the DLC, and if is delayed the DLC is delayed. And that's fine; hopefully the "fans" that sent death threats to CDPR devs following the base game's delays have moved on to greener pastures...
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, moved on you say? Hilarious! Gamers, moving on from their vitriolic criticism? That's a good one.
The same gamers who downvoted the game en masse following the game winning the Steam "Labor of Love" award just a week or so ago?
Hahahaha....
In all seriousness.
They will be back. Regardless of how the expansion pans out. Even if it releases in a perfect state, on the exact date it was announced for. They will be there to spew more hate. No doubt they would absolutely relish the expansion being delayed. Hell, there are still plenty spewing hate because it hasn't been released yet despite these same people complaining about the base game being released while not being ready for release.
Haters gon' hate. It's just the way of the world these days.

Regarding price: I can't imagine it's going to be more then $60, even if development was like a full fledged game. For final stages: 350 people still sounds like a lot for final stages, no?
