9-11-2019 would be a weird date because it’d be either on a Wednesday or Saturday depending on how you read 9-11

 

[Paperboy]

The bright cover will definitely stand out on the store shelves, which kind of is the purpose with a cover.

XBox One X Enhanced 4K Ultra HD
Interesting, the both leaked photos promote XBox One version in the front. If true it must be Microsoft's biggest gem this year.

C'mon, this one is obviously fake, windows 10?

and "from the team behind the witcher 3" lol

 

[thelastword]

Have not seen a PC CD ROM in a minute, last disc I bought on PC was NFS Most Wanted: Black Edition …….

 

[Exentryk]

Like the cover, if real.

 

[juliotendo]

im thinking its fake cause that box art looks awful but does anyone speak polish? i know mapa is map though.

Remember those are European box arts. Sometimes they differ from North American box arts and Asia box arts.

Otherwise looks legit.

This photo shows boxes with a CD Projekt logo in the bottom right corner because they publish everything in Poland themselves.
The second photo has a Bandai Namco logo, so it is a version for 24 countries in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. North American vesrsion should have a Warner Bros logo. In Turkey, a publishing company is Bilkom.

 

[Pagusas]

I like it, it stands out compared to all the over covers out there.

Over 100 game of the year awards before it’s even out?

Those awards are for The Witcher 3. That is why it contains a part "from the team behind The Witcher 3". Just a marketing trick of Bandai Namco.

 

[Mista]

Still early for all of this anyways

This is a terrible fake.

I got that, just being cheeky with the silly marketing if this were real.

Never trust Gaming Site Journalist.

But of all this, i can see that wil be a excellent game

 

[4QGamers]

My guess. Initial release announcement of 2019 in order to get preorder revenue. Planned announced delay months later. Actual planned release of Q1 2020 before fiscal end.

 

[Phil-NeoGAF]

CD Projekt Red isn't mentioning the reversible cover art on purpose. FemPunk is on the other side. At least, that's my theory.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Fake AF. How can you even put "OVER 100 GOTY AWARDS" label on the box if the game is not even out yet for everyone (including press) to check it out first?

PS. Fuck anything standard, I'll be buying collector's edition.

 

[Airbus Jr]

looks like a real cover imo

looking great

Confirmed coming this year? Sooner than i expected

 

[TeamGhobad]

pre-producion since 2012
half team production since 2015
full team production since 2017

 

[TeamGhobad]

no way they would reveal the boxart and pre-order stuff if the game was for spring 2020 right?

Why not, it wouldn't be the first time. I mean new Call of Duty cover got shown 6 months before release so it wouldn't be out of place for this to leak as I am almost positive the release date will be revealed at E3.

 

[TeamGhobad]

X9 is the name of the new xbox?

ya but this more like 9-10 months away.

 

[CptPusheen]

I dig this yellow accent colour, will make ads and merch stand out

 

[Ozrimandias]

Warner has the rights to publich Cyberpunk i think....how its not on the boxart?

A white male on the cover? It's 2019!

Motherfuggin!

Agreed with you, but 100?

Where are this awards?

Let's ask Bandai Namco directly as they are responsible for it. Anyway we know in this case those marketing methods are not necessary.

 

[KiteGr]

This cove art is Fugly.

 

[Kadayi]

The main alarm bell for me is that assuming the dating is European the 9/11 would equate to 9th of November, which would put Cyberpunk on a crash course with Death Stranding which comes out on the 8th, which seems like a bad idea at least as far as the PS4 crowd goes. Also as a rule, big games traditionally come out on either a Tuesday or a Friday when it comes to physical distribution, so Wednesday the 11th of September or Saturday the 9th of November seems quite unlikely, and I'm fairly certain the CDP Graphics Team aren't likely to have errored the date without someone flagging it up.

 

[VertigoOA]

Confirmed this holiday!? Oh hell yea! Rpg of the gen incoming (fuck that kingdom hearts trash).

With Cyberpunk, Death stranding and Destiny shadowkeep... this fall might be my favorite.... when Bloodborne, destiny 1, mgsv and Witcher 3 dropped was comparable. Time for round two.

Best generation...

 

[molasar]

Good trolling?

 

[Aintitcool]

CyberPunk is most probably next fall and not this fall. I don't think they have the manpower to release what they showed in demo out that quick.

 

[MadYarpen]

Over 400 people is working on the game atm... Its quite a lot, isn't it?

Yeah they definitely have the man power.

Hasn’t this been in development for over 5 years?

 

[ShaikhCroft]

The color hurts my eyes! Urgghhh!!

 

[Verdanth]

The only way I see that being the real cover is if the cover is reversable and it has a female version of it.

Otherwise not gonna happen.

 

[CyberPanda]

Development of this game began after they finished production of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine.

Maybe full fledged development, but the initial trailer dropped 6 years ago. I would assume that development should have started before the trailer released at least.

Cyberpunk 2077 entered pre-production as soon as developer CD Projekt Red had finished The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine.[28] Around this time, approximately fifty staff members were involved;[29] they later devoted a team larger than that of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,[30] and after it was released, began upgrading their REDengine 3 to complement Cyberpunk 2077.[31] They learned early on how aspects like stream processing and global illumination would function without disturbing the central processing unit.[32] CD Projekt Red was granted subventions of US$7 million by the Polish government, whose funding application confirmed they were using REDengine 4.[33] In June 2017, early designs were stolen and threatened to be released to the public, but the developer refused to comply with the ransom demand.[34][35]The development reportedly reached a milestone in late 2017,[36] and in March 2018, a new studio was opened in Wrocław to aid the production.[37] That July, nearly 350 employees were developing it,[38] and by the following month, the story was fully realised and could facilitate a complete playthrough.[1] In October 2018, CD Projekt Red announced the establishment of a long-term partnership with Canadian studio Digital Scapes to craft additional technology for Cyberpunk 2077.[39] By early 2019, the staff exceeded 400.[40]

Yea, but they also have to make hype for it.

 

[Salvatron]

i just snapshotted this off amz.. but.. is this kind of thing just a guess until a formal announcement is made in terms of release date?

 

[TheGreatYosh]

I thought they would go with the female version of the protagonist. Anita will not be happy with this.
