Cyberpunk 2077 fans will have to wait a bit longer for the controversial but financially successful sci-fi RPG’s next major update. This is according to a tweet that developer CD PROJEKT RED sent out this morning, which revealed that the team would need additional time to work on Patch 1.2 due to the cyber attack on the studio that occurred earlier this month. The patch will not be available until the second half of March.
“Our goal for Patch 1.2 goes beyond any of our previous updates,” the developer explained. “We’ve been working on numerous overall quality improvements and fixes, and we still have work to do to make sure that’s what you get. With that in mind, we’re now aiming for release in the second half of March.”
“It’s not the news we enjoy sharing, but we want to make sure we launch this update properly. Stay tuned for more information as the time draws closer. Thank you for your continued patience and support.”
CD PROJEKT RED initially promised that a second major update for Cyberpunk 2077 would be out in February, but co-founder Marcin Iwiński ‘s apology video threw doubt into when the patch might actually be released. According to a roadmap published on January 13, Cyberpunk 2077 will continue to get multiple updates and improvements throughout the year.
While we dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan we detailed previously, the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen — we’ll need some additional time. 1/3
