The user of the Gamespot forum with the nickname JoeBuck80 cannot be considered a source of reliable information, so the above should be treated with skepticism. The studio allegedly removed many elements from Cyberpunk 2077, but the team will bring it back.
CD Projekt RED has a plan to rebuild Cyberpunk 2077 that should revive the game like No Man’s Sky – the first two updates are scheduled for mid-March, not as announced in January and February. Content will be released gradually. You can’t count on quick improvements – according to the information provided, Cyberpunk 2077 should be ready by June 2021.
In the middle of the year a patch will be released that will fix most of the bugs. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are being prepared separately, and the PlayStation 5 code will be improved with “awesome tools provided by Sony.” Sony Japan is frying asses and has made an appointment with the Poles due to the sheer number of returns and the poor quality of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation 4.
In Cyberpunk 2077 it will be possible to enter most of the apartments that now have the “Closed” sign and 50,000 lines of dialogue have been removed. The June patch should add all of this content. During development, the game was over 160GB in size and performed better (including police missions). The residents of the city had a sophisticated artificial intelligence of the residents – the players could sit and look at various interesting situations in Night City. The authors even drew attention to children’s drug use, but later removed the feature due to internal censorship. Night City was supposed to have “a huge underground section of the city,” but it was cut out because, according to the leaders, it “looked ugly.” But, according to the author of the post, the atmosphere reigned there, like in Vampire the Masquerade.
The developer complains about Keanu Reeves, as the original Johnny was “much cooler and sounded like a maniac.” However, the creators needed a big name, so they chose the actor of The Matrix. The original Johnny is inspired by Solid Snack (played by David Hayter).

“Cold shower” supposedly will help Cyberpunk a lot, because now the developers have a chance to implement all ideas. The game is currently undergoing a major overhaul, and a number of cut items will appear soon. The DLC will add “crazy and cool ideas.”
If all goes well, Cyberpunk 2077 will be completed by the end of the year. However, many developers are forced to quit or are considering leaving the studio.
