CD Projekt Red, the publisher-developer of The Witcher and Cyberpunk, is planning to increase the cadence of its upcoming major game releases. This means we could see a faster turnaround time for the projects the Poland-based studio is working on.
We just received some important updates about the future of Cyberpunk 2077
This comes after the company's quarterly results were released on Tuesday, May 28, in which it talked about its strategy to make its upcoming release schedules "less bumpy." CDPR CEO Michał Nowakowski said the company, now with studios across Europe and the US, is working on multiple projects at once.
Until now, CDPR’s flagship games have been released every four to five years: The Witcher in 2007, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings in 2011, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015, and Cyberpunk 2077 in 2020. However, the latter two games had full-game-sized expansions ready to go after the base games launched.
“We were already working on two projects simultaneously when we were working on [Cyberpunk 2077 DLC] Phantom Liberty, because that was a game-sized project that had almost 300 people working on it, and at the same time we were already working on Polaris, so we have experience working on more than one project,” Nowakowski said, emphasizing the major expansion CDPR underwent following the success of Witcher 3.
