We've only just started the new decade and we're already talking about games that won't release until we're a quarter of the way through the next 10 years. Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed to September 2020, but you'll be waiting a lot longer if you're hotly anticipating its multiplayer mode. Developer CD Projekt Red has revealed that a launch next year is highly unlikely, making 2022 a much more realistic target for the game's online offerings.
Michał Nowakowski of CD Projekt's members' board said: "Given the expected release of Cyberpunk 2077 in September, and speaking of a series of events we expect to occur after that date, 2021 appears unlikely as a release date for the Cyberpunk multiplayer." It was also confirmed that the mystery AAA title the studio has been working on in secret is actually Cyberpunk 2077's multiplayer mode. We apologise fans of The Witcher, but it looks like you'll be waiting much, much longer before Geralt of Rivia makes his triumphant return.

This looks like a forced delay. They are trying to push people towards the new console that is coming this Christmas.
Not like I’d really play the multiplayer anyway. Shame the game was delayed but it least it might help clean up some of the bugs and the like.
I don't want to speak for everyone but right now I don't think anyone cares about the multiplayer. Maybe it'll end up being amazing, impossible to say, but at this point in time I think people just want to play Cyberpunk 2077 and hopefully enjoy it as a single-player RPG.
Then we can start thinking about multiplayer.
@ShogunRok totally agree.
I basically bought a gaming PC for this game, but I couldn't be less fussed about the MP being delayed.
I mean, I'll be eager to try it out when it drops, but it's not like interest in this game will wane because it has no MP at launch.
It's fair to say it'll be just the cherry on top for those hyped about it 😃
@markkoo why would they do that? If it was a playstation exclusive maybe u could say that. But its not, so i doubt they really care what system it sells on as long as it sells.
Screw multiplayer and start working on a Witcher game set before the original three, following along with the books. That’d be neat, considering I’m not at all interested in the multiplayer for this game. Should’ve stayed strictly a single player RPG
If it will take it that long then they clearly going for a GTA:online kinda of thing.
I just want them to make a great single player game first and then focus on the multiplayer.
No point stretching out resources and staff when you could get the game out quicker potentially if you weren't wasting time with multiplayer.
Still interested to see what they do to the online formula.
Robert has spoken for me.
Thats the only problem with technological advancement. Development time just gets longer and longer. Its already at the point where we only get 1 game a generation from the big developers. How long until we only get a new game every other console gen?!
EDIT: I for one would be extremely interested in what they come up with for MP! but am happy that they are just focused on the SP first
