It’s hard to believe that CD Projekt RED announced The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 almost four years ago. Granted, it’s been supporting Cyberpunk 2077 in that span, and working on a new expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for 2027. But in terms of significant steps forward for the company, those are easily the most anticipated games of the next generation.
And while progress may seem somewhat slow – remember that Cyberpunk 2 entered pre-production in May 2025 – CD Projekt co-CEO Michał Nowakowski wouldn’t have it any other way. Speaking to the Knowledge newsletter (via GamesRadar), he said, “Our dream is to be making more games, although we never want to turn into the studio that’s going to be launching a big game every year.
“It may happen, but this is not the goal. We have a rough ten-year rolling plan, but the goal is not to flood the games market with CDPR games. We just want to make really cool games, and we don’t want to have a ton of IPs either. We’re not planning to grow in that way.”
Which isn’t to say that CD Projekt isn’t leveraging existing IPs in other ways. The Witcher 1 is getting a remake courtesy of Fool’s Theory (which is also working on Songs of the Past). Then there’s Project Sirius, a multiplayer experience set in the same universe, though its premise and overall gameplay remain to be revealed.
One new IP, Project Hadar, is also in the works and promises an “emotional, open-world experience”, according to a recent job listing. Of course, the lack of release dates, especially for The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2, is still in line with Nowakowski’s stance. And considering how much long-term revenue the company’s biggest hits have provided, it wouldn’t be surprising that CD Projekt is focusing on quality above all.
