CD Projekt SA shares slumped on Tuesday after press reviews of the Polish studio’s latest big production dashed optimism among analysts that it might be the highest-rated video game of the year.
The stock fell as much as 9.4% in Warsaw following the publication by aggregation website Metacritic of review scores for Cyberpunk 2077, the hotly anticipated futuristic role-playing new franchise that features the actor Keanu Reeves. The game, whose thrice-delayed release is slated for Dec. 10, scored 91 out of 100 based on the average of 44 reviews by journalists, ranking it as only the fourth-best PC game of 2020.
