With the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel officially entering pre-production, the topic of a release date or window is hot on everyone's minds, but CDPR understandably isn't ready to commit to a specific year.

In today's investors call (timestamped here), CDPR management was asked whether the pipeline from The Witcher 4's pre-production phase from 2022 to its expected 2027 release date is a reliable indicator of how long it'll take Cyberpunk 2 to go from pre-production to launch.

"Our journey from the pre-production to the final release date takes four to five years on average," said CDPR co-CEO Michał Nowakowski. "Having said that, and keeping in mind that each project is unique and there are many variables that influence the final outcome, I will not lead you into specific years."
