CD Project RED regularly updates the number of employees and their distribution for individual projects when presenting its results. That’s how we know it Project Polaris increased to 403 people. This should be of great interest to us because it is hidden under the name Polaris. new part of the Witcher serieswhich will run on Unreal Engine 5.
CD Projekt CEO Michal Nowakowski told shareholders that everything is going according to plan. The Polaris team has reached its target size to move into production, which is scheduled for the second half of this year. We will play the new Sorcerer no earlier than in two years.
Another important milestone for the Polish company is construction of a new studio in Boston. Some leading developers have switched to it Cyberpunk 2077 and successful expansion of history Phantom Freedomto work on a new cyberpunk adventure. The Cyberpunk sequel has a code name Orion project and 47 people dedicated themselves to this. This number should gradually increase, CD Projekt RED wants to work on several large projects simultaneously in the future.
By the way, in three years, cumulative sales of Cyberpunk exceeded three billion Polish zlotys (17.6 billion crowns). Cyberpunk 2077 and its expansions are already a thing of the past. The team was reduced to 17 developers. Sirius, this is The Witcher spin-off in The Molasses Flood team, has not changed since the previous update. There are less than 40 of them. And a mysterious new brand is being developed under the working title. Hadar project has 20 people (at the concept stage) and 8 other projects.
Judging by the composition of the staff, it is clear that the new Witcher is the most important thing for CD Projekt RED at the moment. It’s still in development remake of the first adventure of Geralt of Rivia. They are doing it at the Fool’s Theory studio, where they recently completed the story-driven role-playing game The Thaumaturge. The remake will come out after the new Witcher.
In 2022, the Witcher spin-off began to have problems. The studio was tasked with defining a new scope for the project, taking into account an assessment of the scope and commercial potential. The Sirius project was announced in October 2022. It was in pre-production at the time and was described as an innovative take on the world of The Witcher, aimed not at fans of dark RPGs, but for fans of dark RPGs. for a wider audience (for example, fans of the Netflix series The Witcher) = players who have not yet experienced virtual adventures in the world of Andrzej Sapkowski.
