I’d like to think there are late-added ”bigger” feature/s that still need the time to work properly, but no, it’s not that (or, at least not features I’m thinking of). It’s just a big game with a lot of moving parts that need a lot of attention.

Remember the sources that some youtubers had that said the game had to be delayed because of a specific issue? whether they were real or not, that's actually a fairly normal thing with projects like this.
One thing has a problem or lagged behind, the whole game has to be delayed because of it and those people doing work related to it will crunch, but all other departments might not have to, and will just utilize the extra time for polishing perhaps even in a more relaxed way than before the delay.
It's even likely that some people are just working on content for DLCs tbh, it all depends on which devs.
Looks like E3 is being cancelled, therefore i hope to get more content sooner
I guess each formerly-attending publisher should be doing a Direct/Access livestream of sorts now.
Looks very possible yeah. How it goes sometimes. Best of hopes to everyone struggling with the virus and all those affected.
Good thing, not the right year to travel around just to showcase videogames (streaming is a thing in 2020, you know).
We're already pretty fucked up here in Europe, let's try to contain it as much as possible until we get a vaccine. Stay at home, people, stay at home.

You know what's worse?
When your country, France in my case, doesn't do anything to slow down the virus for economic reasons.
That's soooooo Cyberpunk...
I bring you some new updates from Adam Kiciński and Piotr Nielubowicz via the stock market oriented polish websites.
About the game being send to age rating agencies:
- Piotr Nielubowicz added that the game will offer a lot of replayability and that they are satisfied with the number of preorders, more so then in case of The Witcher 3. The people who preordered the game overall supported their decision about delay
- a secured copies of the game will be send to reviewers a couple of weeks before release, while embargo will be lifted a one week before release date
- majority of marketing campaign will take place during the final weeks before the release
About crunch:
About E3:
About future plans:
- still they have more then just two projects planned after Cyberpunk 2077 release. The biggest team will be working on multiplayer version of the game, the second one will continue working on expansions for CP2077 and the third one (the smallest at first, but one that will be growing more and more with time) will start development on their next AAA single player game. Additional teams will continue to support Gwent and the game developed by Spokko
- they will continue to work on their two franchises, Cyberpunk and The Witcher, only, meaning that their new single player AAA game will be either Cyberpunk game or Witcher game. They already have a concept for this new game, but they won't share it for now
- they are not planning to release their big future titles any quicker after Cyberpunk, saying that the development of an AAA RPG usually takes them around 4-5 years, and they will stick to that to ensure high quality of their major releases
About The Witcher:
- they are really satisfied with The Witcher 3 on Switch, both in terms of quality and sales

That's simply means they didn't start working on it yet, so they are designating a smaller team to do an early preproduction while they are focusing on a new stuff for Cyberpunk 2077. After that's done they will move the focus to that new project, just like they did with Cyberpunk 2077 after release of Witcher expansions. If they are starting an early development on the new game right after Cyberpunk 2077, the 2024-2025 release seems most likely.the smallest team will work on an aaa title...
dark fantasy rpg won't come until 2029
Well, good news is they can't show the E3 content behind closed doors and make us wait for months... right? lol
Thanks for the information, @Shavod.
Sounds like the delay really was just to give them extra breathing room. Still don't understand why that would then require massive crunch, though. Maybe I just don't understand enough about game development yet.

Then it probably wasn’t as massive as some outlets made us think, just “regular”. Regardless of what I think about crunch (spoilers: not highly), I’m glad that at least this time around it apparently isn’t as excruciating as it was with TW2 and 3.
kind of disappointed that MP is a bigger priority but i hope said second team is still big and good enough to make quality dlcs
I hope you're right.
and hopefully it won't be a ciri game...
I so hope it's got a character creator
