CD Projekt Red, the famed European video game developer known for hits like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, is charting its own course in the gaming industry. Adam Kiciński, the CEO, recently made it clear in an interview with Parkiet, a Polish outlet, that the company is not looking to be part of a bigger conglomerate. This stance reflects a deep-rooted commitment to independence and a confidence in the studio’s future growth.
The studio is currently working on the next Witcher game
The company’s journey to its current standing is a testament to its dedication and hard work. Kiciński’s words resonate with a sense of pride and ambition, emphasizing that the team is passionate about their work and has big plans ahead. The acquisition of Molasses Flood in October 2021, known for games like The Flame in the Flood, was a strategic move. This acquisition aligns with CD Projekt Red’s philosophy of meaningful growth, as opposed to simply consolidating financial results. Molasses Flood is now working on a new game in the Witcher universe, codenamed “Sirius,” hinting at exciting developments for fans of the series.
The studio is also progressing on various projects, including the next mainline Witcher game, “Polaris,” which is reportedly in full development with a growing team. “Orion,” the next Cyberpunk game, is still in the conceptual phase, but plans for its development are underway, promising an extension of the Cyberpunk universe. Additionally, CD Projekt Red is working on a completely new IP, “Hadar,” which Kiciński assures will be an intriguing addition to the pop culture landscape.
With a successful track record, including the recent launch of Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion, CD Projekt Red is one of the biggest leaders of the gaming industry for a clear reason. They’re not just creating games; they’re crafting unique experiences that resonate with gamers around the world. Their decision to maintain independence and carefully curate their portfolio reflects a strategic approach to growth and innovation in a world where commercialization is ruining the best of the best.
