CD Projekt Advances Witcher Franchise

In a thrilling announcement that has captivated fans worldwide, CD Projekt revealed on Tuesday that it has officially entered the production phase of a highly anticipated game set in the iconic Witcher universe.

Financial Challenges and Strategic Focus

This comes as the company faces a challenging third quarter, reporting a staggering 61.5% drop in net profit. The Polish gaming giant is preparing for a period of relative quiet on the release front, as they will not be launching major new titles in the near future.

Current Projects and Workforce Strength

As of late September, CD Projekt boasts a robust team of around 400 developers dedicated to the new project, code-named Polaris. This forthcoming title is planned to be the first in an ambitious new trilogy set in the beloved Witcher universe.

Statements from the Joint CEO

Joint CEO Michal Nowakowski, speaking during a conference call, mentioned, “We have made significant progress on the game, laying the groundwork for various concepts. Our next step involves fleshing out the entire game world.” He further elaborated that historically, the company engages in a lengthy development cycle of five to six years to create its AAA game masterpieces, indicating that players may need to exercise patience before the new title hits the shelves.

Future Plans Beyond Witcher

In addition, CD Projekt is also working on an exciting sequel to its Cyberpunk franchise, codenamed Orion, with a dedicated team of 64 developers.

Looking Ahead

As fans eagerly await more updates, this marks a significant turning point for CD Projekt, promising not only to tackle past challenges but to elevate the Witcher series to even greater heights.
