With press copies of Cyberpunk 2077 being sent to reviewers and content creators, developers from CD Projekt Red are asking early players to restrain from spoiling the game’s story and gameplay until launch. Quite recently, the studio has also abandoned its initial plans to reveal early information regarding future DLC that will be instead detailed in 2021.

During an earnings call for investors, CDPR’s head Adam Kiciński reiterated that Cyberpunk 2077 would be releasing on December 10 as planned, but the news regarding future expansions and content updates had to be delayed. The studio is now planning to reveal the details on DLC in 2021, which might happen during a dedicated gaming event or the next earnings call. Nothing is certain at this point, but Kiciński promised that Cyberpunk 2077 will receive at least the same amount of additional content as The Witcher 3.

Cyberpunk 2077’s developer has shared its concerns over content creators getting their hands on early copies of the game. In an open letter posted on Twitter, the studio has stressed that the ultimate goal of releasing the title is to let everyone enjoy the game equally without any spoilers. In order to keep the excitement over playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time intact, developers are asking content creators not to stream or share any video content recorded in the game until a very specific time and date, 12 PM CET/3 AM PST on December 9. Otherwise, CDPR won’t hesitate to take down videos that violate the code of conduct, which might negatively affect those streamers who willingly let unauthorized content slip through. Once the deadline passes, everyone will be welcome - and even encouraged - to stream any parts of the game.

The rest of the world will start playing Cyberpunk 2077 on December 10, but according to a recent leak, a pre-download option will become available on December 8 for those who have pre-ordered the game. It will be especially useful considering that the base game occupies around 71GB. Having two extra days prior to the launch to get a sizeable chunk of content including various fixes and improvements is hard to overestimate. Moreover, the game will be ready to play the very moment it finally releases, as opposed to a necessity to download a huge patch first.

It shouldn’t be surprising that CDPR wants to protect both its game and fans from spoiled experience. Considering the amount of effort put into developing Cyberpunk 2077 (not to mention all the crunch accusations), the Polish studio has all the rights to be precautious in warning content creators. The game might turn out to be the magnum opus for CDPR, and it understandably wants an unaffected reception from the community.
