Warner Bros. and CD Projekt Red have announced that the former will be in charge of distributing the latter’s newest game, Cyberpunk 2077. This means that Cyberpunk 2077 will use Warner Bros.’ retail distribution network to release the game and get it into stores when it eventually releases.
The deal is pretty much the same as when CDPR worked with WB for The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3, meaning that anywhere those games were sold is pretty likely for Cyberpunk 2077. Bandai Namco also distributed those two games in Europe, though lawsuits were involved in the case of Witcher 3.
In the case of Witcher 3, the announcement for Warner Bros.’ involvement in distribution was made roughly two years ahead of launch, and Bandai Namco’s involvement was made one year ahead. While CDPR has always said Cyberpunk 2077 is a ways off, these deals are rarely made speculatively, so some degree of internal targeting is likely closer to concrete than we know.
Cyberpunk 2077 is releasing on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
