Relax gamers, the delay of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" will not affect the Cyberpunk 2077 release date at all.
In an interview with Gamespot, Company CEO Marcin Iwinski stated that the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are being developed independently of each other with separate development teams so the Cyberpunk 2077 release date was not affected by the Witcher 3 release date delay.
"Cyberpunk 2077 is developed by a separate team within CD Projekt Red, so the development of Cyberpunk 2077 is not really affected," he said.
Marcin Iwinski did go on to admit the two projects do share a few developers. "In order to ship a huge RPG we do use help of certain team members between teams. It works this way between Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3," he said, before promising big things from the still largely under-wraps Cyberpunk RPG.
"We are working hard to deliver an outstanding RPG and rest assured, that all the learnings on The Witcher 3 are being applied to the Cyberpunk 2077 development," commented Iwinski.
Cyberpunk 2077 will be based on the Cyberpunk series of tabletop role-playing games. It is due for release in 2015 currently only announced for PC, but is said to 'most probably' arrive on 'next-gen' consoles.
Due to the similar 2015 release dates of Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher 3, it has been rumored that the two games will have almost simultaneous release dates.
CD Projekt Red denied the rumors though, stating that the Witcher 3 release is the priority and that Cyberpunk 2077 will come later.
CD Projekt Red describes the game as a "multi-thread, non-linear story designed for mature players" set in the sprawling metropolis of Night City and its surroundings.
The Witcher 3 release date was delayed to February 24, 2015 while the Cyberpunk 2077 release date is on Fall 2015 with some rumors saying the exact Cyberpunk 2077 release date is on October 2015.
