CD Projekt Red has announced a new one witcher Game with a logo and the upcoming one Cyberpunk 2077 Expansion, but in an open-minded look at its long-term future, the Polish company unveiled a few more projects in these universes. These new games include a cyberpunk episode, new witcher trilogy, an “innovative” witcher Game and completely new IP.

Most of these games have been given their own slide in the thread above. Project Orion is the Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel showing “the full power and potential of the cyberpunk Universe,” a somewhat veiled reference to how the studio botched the launch of the first game and overpromised during its long marketing cycle. CD Projekt Red also noted that phantom freedomthe upcoming DLC for Cyberpunk 2077is in the final production phase and is currently being developed by over 350 employees.
That witcher section is much more complicated. First there is Project Polariswhich is “built on the legacy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.” It is currently in pre-production at CD Projekt Red and will be the start of an entirely new one witcher Trilogy. The slide also notes that all three games will ship over a six-year period afterward Polaris comes out, which seems incredibly optimistic for any team developing games this big, especially when that team is committed to having a healthier work environment (as outlined in the video below) and not crunching.

Project Sirius is an “innovative perspective” on the witcher series and will have multiplayer. It is currently managed by Molasses Flood, which was created The Flame in the Flood and Drake Hollow and was acquired by CDPR in late 2021 with support from CD Projekt Red. No further details were given, but since Molasses Flood has made survival games in the past and this game represents an “innovative take” on the franchise, it’s possible this is untitled witcher The game will also be in the survival genre.
Project Canis Majoris is the latest new witcher Listed Game and will be a “single-player open-world, story-driven role-playing game set within the witcher universe.” This title is awarded to a third-party team composed of ex-witcher veterans. No other details are listed, so this is still mostly a mystery.
Hadar is the new IP and is being developed by CD Projekt Red. Michał Nowakowski, SVP of Business Development, noted that this is not a game yet as the team is very early in the game and geared up to develop the foundation first.

CD Projekt Red released a video of those plans that included some more information. Although there is no specific date, The witcher 3The PlayStation 5 Xbox Series X|S upgrade and PC patch are still planned for late 2022. Unreal Engine 5, as previously confirmed Project Polarisgoing forward will be the engine that the developer uses to increase and “deliver” its “effectiveness and predictability” over the long term [its] creative visions.” CD Projekt Red said it even wants to introduce “multiplayer experiences” in “most” of its future titles, but wasn’t specific. Players can continue to expect more non-gaming experiences in the cyberpunk and witcher universes.
CD Projekt is growing to meet these goals and is opening a new studio in Boston, Massachusetts near Molasses Flood and will help develop Sirius and, when the two are combined with his Vancouver team, CD Projekt Red Form North America. This Vancouver subsection is the lead development Orion.
CD Projekt Red’s YouTube channel also had smaller, more focused updates covering his tech pipeline and how Unreal Engine 5 is making development easier, his commitment to making a healthier studio with various outreach programs and green initiatives, and how he it plans to place its games in various media and on a whole range of other products.
