The Polish company CD Projekt, after yesterday’s delay in the release of the next generation version of Zaklínače 3, has prepared a report for investors for the 2021 financial year. He definitely has a lot to brag about, but unfortunately fans were also disappointed.
Let’s start with the positive, because the company announced that Wizard 3: Wild Hunt already on his account over 40 million copies soldthe latest known figure (as of 2020) was over 30 million. In addition, the third part accounts for most of the sales of the entire series, which is just over 65 million units..
Subsequently, of course, there was a reminder that another game from the world of The Sorcerer was being created, which should start an entirely new saga. As we knew earlier, it will run on Unreal Engine 5.
Cyberpunk 2077 in terms of sales, it also seems to have something to brag about. He already has an account over 18 million copies sold. But the number itself looks worse when we add context to it. We already learned last year that only for 2020 (when the game was on the market for only a few weeks) it sold 13.7 million. Just over 4 million units have been “only” sold in the last 16 months.. The CD project definitely intended a higher number.
As for plans for this year, the studio promises continued support for Cyberpunk 2077, as well as the development of an eager-looking paid expansion. But here’s the bad news for the fans, expansion will not take place until next year.
But it must be said that CD Project’s plans are relatively ambitious. Now are working on a second version of their RED engine and they create two independent teams so the studio can work on two AAA projects at the same time.
Apart from Cyberpunk and The Sorcerer, other games are probably already being worked on.because, according to the press release, “concepts and research related to unannounced projects” are planned for this year.
In addition, The Molasses Flood studio (authors of The Flame in the Flood), which CD Projekt acquired last year, is in operation. Their new game is supposed to be part of one of CD Project’s brands, so there isn’t much to choose from. Either Sorcerer or Cyberpunk.
As mentioned in @CDPROJEKTRED_IR a few minutes ago a financial call, the upcoming expansion of Cyberpunk 2077 will be released in 2023. Please stay tuned for more details later this year 🦾 https://t.co/rq1w6RDTDL
