Delays, delays, delays. We seem to be getting hit with them left, right and centre at the moment! After a nine-year development cycle however, this next one doesn’t surprise me massively. Cyberpunk 2077, a game known for its delays, has been struck with yet another, with its next-gen update now set to be released in early 2022 rather than later this year as originally intended.

Unfortunately, this means that Xbox Series X and PS5 console owners will have to wait a few more months before they can enjoy the complete next-gen experience. The revelation comes in the form of a CD Projekt Red investor update, which warns that the Cyberpunk 2077 upgrade will now be released in Q1 2022 (January, February, or March) at the suggestion of those in charge of the project.

The next-generation upgrade to CD Projekt’s highly successful The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has also been put back to Q2 2022. (April, May, June). Given that Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed many times and still released in a poor form, we wouldn’t be surprised if the next-generation update was pushed back even more to prevent further fan criticism.

Delays are nothing new in gaming, and by now, fans of Cyberpunk 2077 will be more than accustomed to seeing the famous yellow backdrop baring bad news about more delays.

I feel like developers are entitled to take as much time as they need on a project. Yes, delays can be frustrating, but even more frustrating is trying to play a game that is broken on release. Giving devs the time they need to see a project through to completion is important to avoid this. With the constraints the pandemic put on studios too, it only makes sense that there would be delays.

I would be more than willing to stand by this, had CD Projekt Red released a good game. But they didn’t, as we are all aware. However, the fact that the delays didn’t result in a good game added insult to injury in the case of CD Projekt Red’s sci-fi RPG; Cyberpunk 2077 still released as a glitchy mess that was hardly playable on the PS4 or Xbox One. The issue was so terrible that it was briefly removed from the PlayStation platform.

Hopefully this will be the only delay we see in terms of getting next-gen upgrades for both titles, but with their rocky release last time it makes sense that they’d want to devote the extra time to ensuring that they are not trying to sell a buggy mess again. Fingers crossed that all goes smoothly, and they make up for their shortcomings last time.

New fan art depicts high-definition next-gen Geralt

Geralt of The Witcher is a formidable protagonist who has a dedicated fanbase across the literature, television and video game adaptations of The Witcher. The franchise of The Witcher and its main character will continue to have a place in popular culture; the Game of the Year Edition of The Witcher 3 is currently available to. With excitement lying in how far graphical capabilities can go, a talented artist by the name of Massimiliano Bianchini has shared what a next-generation Geralt might look like,. The artist offered two versions: one with Geralt under a hood and one with his face for all to see, with textures and details jumping out of the screen with realism.

The Witcher fans could have banded together to buy a house

The Kickstarter for the The Witcher: Ronin – A Hard Copy Collector’s Edition Manga smashed its original goal within a matter of hours. That didn’t stop fans from continuing to pledge, though. The Kickstarter ended with a whopping €678,036, that’s exactly £579,580… and 27 pence. A whole 750% of the original goal.

Irresistible rewards and gorgeous art promised to Kickstarter pledgers no doubt were the root of its success.

If you’re wondering why fans continued to donate even after the goal was met, a quick gander at the rewards on Kickstarter will tell you why. All Kickstarter pledgers of the lowest tier have been promised a copy of the manga, as well as a postcard with the variant cover artwork. If you shelled out another €15 euros, you’d get a poster as well.

20 dedicated fans pledged €150 to get all that, plus a hand drawn sketch by artist Hayata. It’s honestly a pretty sweet deal, hence it was limited to 20 backers max.

One lucky sod got themselves the €1,050 pledge with a hand-drawn black and white cover by Hayata – wow. I think they deserve to have the Witcher fan bragging rights for life.

In addition, there were several selectable add-ons including a tote bag, sculpture, and pins.

“The Witcher: Ronin presents The Witcher universe as if it were based around the rich traditions of Japanese folklore. In a world such as this, the role of a professional monster slayer is just as essential — as dangerous Yokai and Oni (Japanese spirits and demons) are constantly on the prowl.”

This exciting take on The Witcher series looks absolutely gorgeous, and I’m so excited to see Geralt in a completely new environment. The Kickstarter edition will include 55 extra pages of content: 45 of side-stories, and 10 making-of pages. You might have missed the Kickstarter, but you’ll at least be able to purchase the manga when it drops in January 2022.

I’m already fairly confident that this will be another Witcher masterpiece!
