The first few weeks of a new year always have a bit of upheaval. Release dates get shuffled around, rumors abound, and news seemingly drops at every turn. Lucky for you, this week's Replay roundup is here to help. Below are some of the most important videogame news stories from the past week. Let's go.
Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy VII Remake Are Both Being DelayedIf you were worried about the spring release calendar being pretty crowded, fret not: It's not release season, it's delay season. First up is Cyberpunk 2077, the game about a dark cyberpunk future where Keanu Reeves never ages. The game was initially slated for release in April, but that's not going to happen. CD Projekt Red is pushing the game back to September 17 to allow more time to "finish playtesting, fixing, and polishing." Additionally, the game's multiplayer features may not be ready until next year.
Next, over at Square Enix, Final Fantasy VII Remake is being pushed back from March 3 to April 10, which is pretty conservative so far as delays go, but still is worth noting. The Avengers game from Crystal Dynamics (which Square Enix is publishing) is also getting delayed; instead of coming out in May, it'll be ready to play in September. Though, to be fair, that game didn't look exceptionally good, so that one's not that concerning.
