The unprecedented hype for Cyberpunk 2077 is increasing with every day that passes by. Following a series of delays, the game might actually release on December 10. As a result, no other game developer would want to compete with it.
Xbox exclusive title The Medium was scheduled to release on December 10; however, Bloober Team delayed the game to January 28, 2021. As per fans, the developer took this action to stay clear of the highly awaited action RPG.
Surprisingly, Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War could be the biggest name to follow a similar path. The game’s debut season that would have synchronized it with Warzone, will now release on December 16 instead of December 10.
