No Cyberpunk 2077 Anniversary Tease Confirmed by Momot
Hold your horses, Night City legends! Hopes for a surprise announcement tied to Cyberpunk 2077's upcoming fifth anniversary have been officially dashed. A recent social media post from developer CD Projekt Red, which had ignited widespread speculation among fans, has been clarified as not a teaser for any future reveal. This news comes directly from CD Projekt's own Marcin Momot, addressing the community's heightened expectations head-on.
Misunderstanding Clarified: Not a Teaser
The post in question, featuring Cyberpunk 2077 and mentioning December 10th, quickly spread through gaming circles, with many interpreting it as a precursor to a major announcement for the game's fifth anniversary. However, Marcin Momot stepped in to cool the excitement, stating unequivocally, "It's not a teaser. Hope this clears things up!" Momot explained that these types of posts are a regular occurrence, part of a 30-day cycle to celebrate character birthdays within the Cyberpunk universe. The December 10th date was simply included to acknowledge the significant milestone of the game's release five years prior.
Originally launched on December 10, 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 is indeed nearing its fifth birthday, prompting the natural excitement for potential new content or news.
Cyberpunk 2077's Incredible Journey and Success
While the initial launch of Cyberpunk 2077 was notoriously challenging, CD Projekt Red’s unwavering commitment to the title has transformed its narrative. The studio consistently delivered updates and significant improvements, revitalizing the game's quality and player experience. This dedication has paid off immensely, with Cyberpunk 2077 now boasting sales figures exceeding an astounding 35 million copies globally. The game also saw an expanded reach earlier this year, making its debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 in June, further cementing its presence across major gaming platforms.
CD Projekt's Ambitious Future Beyond Night City
