The premiere of “Cyberpunk” postponed by 5 months

On 16 January this year, CD Projekt President Adam Kiciński announced that the premiere of “Cyberpunk” will be moved from 16 April to 17 September 2020. He motivated his decision by the fact that although the game is de facto complete, there is still a lot of time to be devoted to polishing the game and removing defects. Adam Kiciński also declared that the company will regularly report on the progress of the game preparation. Despite the postponement of the premiere, the company’s management believes that the new deadline is not more competitive than the April deadline.

CD Projekt losses on the stock exchange

In anticipation of the premiere of “Cyberpunk”, the stock market capitalization of the CD Project’s has steadily increased, exceeding the PLN 27bn threshold.

Currently, as of January 20, the company’s capitalization is PLN 25.6bn.
