How is the development going?
It was only on March 10, 2020 that the development team explained how to achieve a critical playtesting phase after the game had been going on since January let it play through in its entirety. This means that development is now mainly about finding bugs and other problems to ensure that the game runs as smoothly as possible.

@ kawaraban5The fact that CD Project Red is not immediately announcing a postponement is optimistic. After all, there is currently still a chance for a timely release. And due to the state of development so far, it is not unlikely that you can actually keep to it. However, there is no 100 percent guarantee.
A corresponding change in work and development processes can lead to problems even with more advanced and "simple" projects such as a content update for Warframe. With a huge undertaking like Cyberpunk 2077, whose release is months ahead, problems with and around the launch are almost inevitable.
At the moment, however, the priority is that the employees of the studio are not only safe from a possible infection or the transmission of it, but can also maintain a healthy work-life balance without crunch. And although I am looking forward to the release like so many others, I would not only get over a new postponement, but also understand it. Fortunately, there are other exciting titles with cyberpunk settings to bridge the waiting time.
