Cyberpunk 2 Predicted To Launch in Late 2030 With $419 Million Budget

We've already seen signs that Cyberpunk 2's development is in full swing at CD Projekt Red, with the game studio earlier this year expanding its development team for the upcoming Unreal Engine 5-based game. Previously, no release date for the new game had been revealed, teased, or even proposed by the usual sources, but a Polish analytics firm, Noble Securities (via Strefa Inwestrów), has posited that Cyberpunk 2 would launch in 2030, specifically Q4, 2030, which would make the game a holiday release. The firm also predicts that the recently delayed final update for The Witcher 3 will land as early as May 2026 and the launch of The Witcher 4 in Q4 2027.

In addition to the launch dates, we also got a prediction for the budget of Cyberpunk 2, which the firm says will likely end up around the $419 million mark, which aligns with the reported ~$436 million budget of Cyberpunk 2027. A late launch lines up with the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, which launched in December, and it makes sense from a business point of view, since that is when gaming sales peak. Of course, being this far away from the projected launch date means that things are highly volatile—this being especially true in the current gaming landscape, where delays seem more common than ever.

Please let them take their time with that and with Witcher 4 and not let it end in a buggy shitshow like last time.

Prima.VeraLacking the wisdom but especially the intelligence to understand, or acknowledge, that wasn't at all an attack, or a "make fun of them" attempt, says something about other people too, don't you think? ;)


Youl'd be surprised ;)

Not really. While that may seem like a long list, it is hilariously tiny when compared to the list of all games ever made. So that list represents the vast exceptions, not the rule. My previous point remains valid in the larger context.

oobymach$420 million = 20 million game development and 400 million advertising budget.
Obviously not. Try to make a city the size of Night City with a limited number of people and development time
RadeonProVegahope they add the damn 3rd person mode this time, because character creation in this game is really pointless considering you barely see your character.
Then people should spend less time on the clothes.
VR mode would be better, make it more immersive instead of less

vigorThey recently started doing Witcher 4 and already talking about Cyberpunk 2? What's next week Cyberpunk 3 in 2050?
Nah, CP3 would just be real life at that point.
