After a long development cycle that included multiple delays, the highly-anticipatedCyberpunk 2077about a week away from its current December 10 release. Developer CD Projekt Red has been pushing the upcoming game quite a bit on social media, such as releasing atrailer focused onCyberpunk 2077’s photo mode, but it would apparently like to keep this marketing all to itself before launch to avoid spoilers getting out.
Early copies ofCyberpunk 2077have likely been provided to content creators, butCD Projekt Red is apparently also concerned with spoilersfrom those who chance their way into owning the game early. The game’s official Twitter account posted a message “kindly” asking people not to stream, let’s play, or in any other way post significant content before December 9 at 3:00 a.m. PST - though it acknowledges it will be difficult to create a totally spoiler-free environment.

That being said, the ask is not entirely reliant on the honor system. The Twitter post suggests videos will be taken down prior to release, though it masquerades the threat by referencing it being the result of MAX-TAC, the Maximum Force Tactical Division of the police inCyberpunk 2077.
All-and-all the post has a bit of tonal whiplash, going from “kindly ask” to threatening takedowns, and ultimately ending with a bit of morose humor suggesting there “might not be a tomorrow” given the way 2020 has played out due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and more. However, concerns about early spoilers are not unfounded given some leaks already occurred in November andCyberpunk 2077pre-orders far outpace anyWitchergamethe studio developed.
Despite its numerous delays and controversies surrounding CD Projekt Red’s crunch culture, excitement for the upcoming title is palpable asCyberpunk 2077approaches its release on everything but next-gen consoles.
