Cyberpunk 2077's next patch delayed following CD Projekt cyber attack
Things seem to keep going from bad to worse for CD Projekt, as after a disastrous Cyberpunk 2077 launch that saw the game removed from the PlayStation Store, the company was hit by a major cyber attack – and this has now resulted in a month-long delay for the game’s promised February patch.
The company took to Twitter to explain its decision, saying it “dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan [it] detailed previously” but “the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen”. It seems CD Projekt will now need additional time to release the update.
As for what patch 1.2 contains, it will apparently go “beyond any of [CD Projekt’s] previous updates” with “numerous overall quality improvements and fixes”.
“…We still have work to do to make sure that’s what you get,” CD Projekt added. “With that in mind, we’re now aiming for release in the second half of March.”
While we dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan we detailed previously, the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen — we’ll need some additional time. 1/3
