CD Projekt said the major update will be released alongside the next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077.
In October, CD Projekt delayed the PS2077 and Xbox Series XS versions of Cyberpunk 5 to the first quarter of 2022. About a week after that, Cyberpunk also delayed all "updates, improvements, and free DLCs" for 2077 to 2022. Today, he narrowed that window down a bit, saying in his latest financial report that the next major update for Cyberpunk 2077 will also arrive in the first three months of 2022, at the same time as the next-gen release.
CD Projekt president and co-CEO Adam Kiciński said in a statement, “We are working on the next-gen version of Cyberpunk, scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2022, and another major update for all platforms.” Said. “There is also work in progress on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3 and its Cyberpunk expansion.”
Interestingly, despite the well-publicized issues of Cyberpunk 2077 and the slow pace of addressing its problems, Kiciński said CD Projekt's quarterly revenues increased by nearly 40% year-over-year to PLN 144 million ($34.7 million). However, year-over-year profits were lower for the same period, mainly due to “expenses related to updating Cyberpunk and exploration work on new projects”.
It's very interesting to see this jump in revenues. The release of Cyberpunk 2077 a year ago was a train wreck, and CD Projekt hopes it will turn things around quickly. However, despite its problems, interest in the game remained high. Despite Sony's warning that there are still major issues, it went to the top of the charts when it was finally allowed to re-enter the PlayStation Store, and as we mentioned over the weekend, it also topped the Steam sales charts, with a huge surge in positive user reviews after a 50% off sale : Steam Autumn Sale' More than 24 positive comments have been posted since November 18.000, when it was published.
Of course, Cyberpunk 2077 has already set a huge sales record: more than 2020 million copies of the game were sold in 13,7 alone.
