Please support us, we are updating the article.
Some time ago, CD Projekt announced an extremely detailed strategic plan for the next few years, which includes sales figures for current brands and presumably all titles currently being worked on by in-house and contract studios. .
But first, let’s focus on sales of current brands. Confirmed here that The Witcher series has already ended sold 65 million copiesand Cyberpunk 2077 also thanks to the recently released series Cyberpunk: Edge Runners succeeded in capturing the border 20 million copies sold.
As for the publisher’s next strategic direction, it plans to continue to expand its existing brands, improve its development capabilities to provide more quality-focused content, and just as importantly, introduce players to multiplayer games (the big question here is exactly what it will be). , as the upcoming multiplayer for Cyberpunk 2077 was canceled shortly after the game’s unsuccessful release).
Further information on the planned expansion of major franchises to mobile phones and non-gaming media. Popular series will continue to appear in the form of series, movies, comics, as well as physical collectibles.
Titles that are not flagship studios will be outsourced to talented external teams. These will be, for example, titles intended for mobile devices.
However, the most interesting are the main titles that are created directly in the CD Projekt RED studio. Jobs posted on brand new IP with working title Project Hadar, which will have absolutely nothing to do with the studio’s current brands. Currently, Hadar is under development and we will likely have to wait many more years before it gets introduced closer.
Next title announced continuation of Cyberpunk 2077 (with the working title Project Orion), which is designed to fully demonstrate the full power and potential of the entire universe. However, the name is currently not being developed and all eyes on the Phantom Liberty expansionwhich will enrich the original game next year.
As for the already announced Witcher saga, a team of about 150 employees is currently working on it. The game has a working title. Project Polaris and will build on the legacy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The name is now in preparation and marks the beginning new trilogywhich must be completely released to six years after the release of Polaris.
Next game Sirius Project, which is being developed by The Molasses Flood Studios with the help of CD Projekt RED. This is reportedly an innovative treatment of the universe that will bring us an unforgettable story designed for veterans and complete newbies alike.
The last game has a working title. Big Dog Project and it will be an open-world RPG set in the Witcher universe. The project is being worked on by an unnamed third-party studio led by veterans who worked on the original trilogy.
However, the publisher wasn’t done with Project Canis Majoris, in an accompanying video board member and marketing director Jeremy Cohn announced that the studio was up and running. still on at least one AAA titlewhich they want to keep secret for some time.
It can be assumed that most projects will work on technology Unreal Engine 5which the publisher already announced in March of this year long-term partnership with Epic Games.
We are pleased to announce that the next part of The Witcher series is currently in development and will kick off a whole new saga.
This is an exciting moment as we transition from REDengine to Unreal Engine 5 and begin a multi-year strategic partnership with Epic Games. This includes not only licensing, but also the technical development of Unreal Engine 5 and possibly future versions of Unreal Engine. We will be working closely with the developers at Epic Games, and the main goal is to help adapt the engine for open world games.
At the moment, there are no other details about the game, such as a development timeline or release date.
The RED engine, the technology behind Cyberpunk 2077, is still being used to develop the upcoming expansion.
