CD Projekt Red is ramping up the team size for the new Witcher saga
CD Projekt Red managed to turn things around after the catastrophic launch of a certain dystopian RPG. With Cyberpunk 2077 getting an Ultimate Edition next month, not to mention the success of the Phantom Liberty DLC, the studio is mending its reputation. Right now, the company is looking to the future, as more staff are posted to its new Witcher projects.
In a recent earnings conference call, CDPR said the number of people working on Cyberpunk will be decreasing over time, with developers being transferred to Polaris, the code name for one of the upcoming Witcher games. This team, in particular, is “steadily growing” with nearly 330 people being moved over to the new project as of the end of October 2023.
The video goes on to say that this number is expected to increase to over 400 within the middle of next year. According to the company website, over 1,000 people are employed at CD Projekt Red, so that’s a huge chunk working on The Witcher. You can check out a PDF version of the presentation on CDPR’s official site.
Busy, busy, busy
There’s a lot going on with CDPR at the moment. With several new games in the Witcher franchise currently in development, and an official remake of the first game in the pipeline, it’s going to be hands-on for the team for the next few years.
There’s also a Cyberpunk 2077 follow-up that’s in the works, as well as a brand-new IP called Hadar. There’s no telling what the future holds for the Polish studio, but it sounds like there’s a lot to look forward to.
