New Cyberpunk 2077 Job Listing Teases A Possible Release Date Reveal Is Imminent

Now that CD Projekt RED has confirmed that they will have something exciting to share at E3 this year for Cyberpunk 2077, fans are scrambling to find any scrap of information they can find before June rolls around. With a possible release date confirmation on the horizon, one job listing in particular may have just given us some peace of mind regarding the rumors regarding a this-year release. 

According to the recent job posting spotted, the studio is looking for a “well-organised Release Manager.” With a recent push for marketing and Community Manager roles with the company, especially state-side, it’s highly likely that this means a release date will be revealed soon. If the game is indeed coming this year, many of the rumors leading up to the big reveal later this Summer could also provide more clarity on what’s next. 

As for the job posting in question:

With all of the excitement regarding a new revelation coming soon, it’s easy to get swept away in the desire for this game sooner rather than later. Still, the studio has been very careful to reveal “only when ready,” which has helped to tamper expectations down to a more realistic level to avoid too much hype too soon.
