Things keep getting worse for CD Projekt, now facing another lawsuit over the launch of Cyberpunk 2077.
An announcement on its investor website shows a new lawsuit has been filed in the US over “Market Abuse Regulation”, to which the publisher has stated it “will undertake vigorous action to defend itself against any such claims”. The filing suggests that the publisher intentionally knew about the game's quality and hid its true nature before release.
This will be the second lawsuit the company has faced over Cyberpunk 2077’s launch, both specifically related to poor performance on last-gen consoles. The first was filed this past December, which the company also stated it would take “vigorous” actions against at the time.
CD Projekt posted a video last week which gave some insight into the intended roadmap for the game. A new update is scheduled to arrive in the next few days with a larger one coming next month, and the next-gen patches for Cyberpunk 2077 are currently expected in the second half of 2021.
How are you finding Cyberpunk 2077 a month after launch? Let us know in the comments below.

Serves them right for releasing a broken game around Christmas for a quick cash grab..
Ugh this is just gonna slow them down in fixing it even further.
@Dezzy How so?? Pretty sure the dev team and legal team are two separate groups.

Yeah I was just thinking in terms of stressing them out even further. Of course if they actually lost a big lawsuit, it could cause issues because it would come out of their finances. The finances we hope they're gonna pour back into the game over the next few years.
I would love to say this will be a lesson to other developers but it'll keep happening.
I’ve always read their name jokingly as CD Projekt Rekt by in my head and now that name is sadly coming true...
Well they already openly admitted to knowing the game was going to launch in poor condition, on video, so hopefully not too hard to find them guilty in the courts.
