CD Projekt Red announced today that they are delaying the anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.2 to the second half of March 2021 due to their recent cyberattack.
Patch 1.2 is expected to be a major release containing many bug fixes and performance improvements for known issues that players are experiencing.
Today, CDPR announced that due to the recent cyberattack on their systems coupled with the massive scope of the update, they are forced to delay Patch 1.2 to the end of March 2021.
"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."
"Our goal for Patch 1.2 goes beyond any of our previous updates. We've been working on numerous overall quality improvements and fixes, and we still have work to do to make sure that's what you get. With that in mind, we're now aiming for release in the second half of March."
In a ransom note created during the attack, the attackers stated that they stole the source code for Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Gwent, and an unreleased version of Witcher 3 with ray tracing support.
