CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is working on more games set in The Witcher and Cyberpunk universes, as well as a brand new franchise that’s being created entirely in-house, the studio announced in a strategy update on Tuesday.
Let’s start first with what was announced for The Witcher. CDPR announced what it called a “new saga” in March, and we now know that the first game in what is planned to be a trilogy will be codenamed “Polaris.” The game is set to be developed using Unreal Engine 5. CDPR plans to deliver the games over a six-year period “starting from the release of Polaris,” Adam KiciÅ„ski, joint CEO of CDPR, said in a strategy update video.
That said, Polaris probably won’t be released anytime soon. Pre-production on Polaris just started this year, and based on a response from KiciÅ„ski to a question in an investor webcast, the game could be at least three years out. All three games in the saga are planned to be full-fledged, AAA RPGs, he said.
There are two other new Witcher games in the works, too. One, referred to as “Canis Majoris,” is a “full-fledged” Witcher title but separate from the new trilogy. It will be developed by an external studio. In Tuesday’s update, CDPR said it is open to working on more games with external partners. Read More...
