Cyberpunk 2077 E3 2019 extended gameplay demo won’t release at Gamescom 2019, confirmed for PAX West 2019

Last week, we informed you about the main reason why CD Projekt RED has not streamed online the E3 2019 gameplay demo of Cyberpunk 2077. As CD Projekt RED stated, the main reason behind this was to build further hype and it appears that this extended gameplay demo won’t be released at Gamescom 2019.

As CD Projekt RED’s Marcin Momot confirmed, this extended gameplay demo will be made available during PAX West 2019 (obviously we’re talking about the video and not the build/demo itself).

PAX West 2019 begins on August 30th and will last until September 2nd. CD Projekt RED did not clarify when exactly it will release the gameplay demo, meaning that this may happen during the last day of the event.

Similarly to last year’s gameplay demonstration, we expect CD Projekt RED to release a video that will be close to 50 minutes, though we are almost certain that this video will not feature any of the recently announced ray tracing effects (as those are specific/exclusive to the PC version).

In conclusion, we now have a date for when those that have not attended E3 2019 or Gamescom 2019 will be able to see the game’s latest gameplay footage.

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently scheduled for an April 16th, 2020, release!

  1. Don’t mind at all. Already saw gameplay from last year. Can only assume it got better. No rush seeing this.

  2. I remember back when internet was too slow for videos and if there was videos the streaming quality was so bad unless you downloaded them, my only way to know about games and how they looked was magazines and some screenshots(mostly bullshots)
    And maybe a trailer on the demo disc, so yea im ok with no seeing any extended gameplay untill the game release

  3. Nice, I am already pre-ordered and ready to go on GOG and can’t freaking wait!

    Yeah same here, I have seen enough and no longer want to spoil anything till I play it my self on my multi-screen config. Feels good Man 🙂

    1. Exactly, that was my thoughts as well.

      Remember not only do they get every penny you also own it for life, it’s DRM free and are not tied to the internet or any other activation once you down load the installer. Of course you can use Galaxy if you want to.

      Makes no sense to get it any where else.

      1. All CDPR games are DRM free on every PC store client, so no need to buy from GOG for that reason, at least for CDPR’s own games.

        I detests all Store Clients, including Galaxy, and the main attraction (for me), of GOG has never been that it’s games are DRM free.

        DRM free is a nice bonus feature, but the main reason, I buy 90% of my games from GOG, is that I get an offline installer, for every game.

        Galaxy’s best feature is that it’s optional, and I like many GOG users, will never use it.

        I’ve never understood this one client to launch all games mentality.
        I launch games from my desktop, I don’t need store clients to do that.

    2. Its 2019 and with all of the ultra wide 34-38″ monitor that are out… yet here u are still using multiscreen LMAO

      1. I don’t have the money to upgrade my screens(they are like 11 years old).

        Having said that they are 3x 42″ HDTVs so they are better than one small 38″ screen in terms of size and resolution(width). Of course a PC monitor response time and specs are night and day over my screens.

        I program all day(Visual Studio on 3 screens) + do game dev so the huge screens are awesome for my eyes, reading code & work. Gaming in 5760×1080 on 3x 42″ is insane as well.

        Once I can afford it I will get the 3x 45″ 4K HDR QLED 120 variable refresh rate HDTV’s.

  4. CDPR making all this drama and scheduling for just a video
    that’s so dumb, it’s game they can always make a video from it as marketing material
    they came to E3 empty handed, and with’holding gameplay video only for private individuals
    should i remind you it’s just a video, just release it already, it doesnt make any sense the notion that they trying to get more hype, this game is already overhyped, the hype around this game is so huge it might exceed the half life 3 hype

    1. CDPR didn’t make any drama.
      Last year’s E3 demo was also released during Pax, what’s your problem?

      1. The new Call of Duty actually looks to be really cool based on what people are saying about it (after they saw gameplay). First time in a long time I am excited about COD.

        1. Yeah price gouged “$1 per pixel” microtransactions and all. And Hollywood military isnt real military, but they sure do love smothering that “boots on the ground” realism label ALL over the marketing – which btw no one but people in Hollywood and the media say. Just trying to sucker people into another COD scam.

  5. I keep hearing the demos shown in private were all on PC, huge rigs, locked at 30 FPS.
    This doesn’t inspire confidence that then end product will run well.

    1. Not sure about this second demo but the notion that they both are locked at 30 FPS is definitely true.

  6. There, rabble, savor these breadcrumbs we left for you and rejoice!

    There’s no point in releasing this demo if does not feature RTX. We already heard the summary from all the game journalists that parroted its contents generating clicks to their otherwise useless sites.

    1. Because the bulk of the sales will be on the consoles. Certainly there will be more people who will want to see the console versions than the pc version. If I get the game it will be the pc version.

  7. Because they are not pivoting to some MP trash like BGS or Ninja Theory and are actually, like the rest of us, “working for a living” and doing business with some gd ethics with this game by selling a straight forward product sans any microtransaction scamming hamfisted into some soulless, low content GaaS, garbage – they absolutely need run these exclusive marketing “demo” tours the old fashion way to build hype for those who still need them to “prove” themselves. More of healthy skepticism is needed in this industry. It’s brings out AAA quality long missed from beloved companies who all pivoted into becoming GaaS scheming crooks.

    Already buying it on GOG, so I could not care less either way. I will watch whatever they show ofc. Personally I just want to forget about it until a few weeks before release, but for me CDPR has replaced the excitement that a Pre-FO76 BGS used to bring.
