Is The Delay Worth It?
Anytime a delay is announced, the gaming community typically gets upset especially when it comes to AAA titles; however, over the last few months, these delays have proved beneficial to the game’s end product. Ultimately, we have to wait and see if this delay benefits Deathloop in the longterm. Maybe, CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 will give us all the indication we need. The unique concept of Deathloop makes it a game worth waiting for.
