Up front: Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has not officially confirmed a release date for its next game, and insisted "it's still not the time to confirm anything" in a letter concealed in the new E3 trailer. But we're fairly confident that it will be out in 2019. At the very least, we think that's what CDPR is targeting.
This isn't baseless speculation or empty hype-stoking; there are good reasons to think this, so let's run through them.
First and most importantly, CDPR has just said Cyberpunk 2077 is targeting the current console generation. Media had a behind-closed-doors screening of the game at E3, and many were so impressed that they declared it simply cannot be a current-gen game. That includes our own Matt Purslow, whose reaction to the demo you can see in the video below.

There are a couple of other details worth knowing. CDPR was given EU funding to develop tech that would most likely be used in Cyberpunk 2077. The associated proposals say "the project covers the following period: 01 Jan 2017 - 29 Jun 2019," implying the game which uses this tech has to be out in the first half of next year. CDPR can apply for an extension, but again, this makes it likely that the studio envisaged a 2019 release at some stage.
And finally, consider how substantial the E3 demo was. Media saw an hour of uninterrupted gameplay, in which multiple systems and large swathes of the world were shown. That's a pretty thick vertical slice. We're now five years on from that first teaser, and over two years on from The Witcher III: Blood and Wine, since when all of CDPR (apart from the Gwent team) has been focused on Cyberpunk, according to the concealed letter.
