The upcoming game “The Medium” has delayed its release date to Jan. 28th, 2021 which may also be Cyberpunk 2077’s new release date.
Initially due for a Dec. 10th release for Xbox Series X/S 7 PC, it was announced via Twitter that due to (you guessed it) the Coronavirus, which caused production issues in addition to “the current schedule of other titles on the market”. That may also refer to Cyberpunk 2077, which has been delayed to “The Medium” initial release date.

The Medium was one of the leading launch window titles for Xbox Series, which will probably provide some adverse side effects, though it may allow more breathing room for the game since it’s now exited the shadow of Cyberpunk 2077.
Bloober Team released a statement with regards to the delay: “It wasn’t an easy choice to make, but one made due to the COVID-19 situation in Poland, as well as the current schedule of other games on the market. Bloober Team remains committed to delivering our biggest, most ambitious, fear-inducing experience to date. The additional development time will allow us to add further polish, ensuring we deliver our innovative, genre-pushing vision of interactive psychological horror.”
