The Witcher 4 is the main project

CD Projekt RED, a Polish video game developer, is focusing most of its efforts on The Witcher 4, the next installment in the popular The Witcher series. The company has recently released The Witcher 3 Remastered and announced The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, a new expansion, while also sharing updates about The Witcher 4.

Cyberpunk 2 is under new leadership

Despite the focus on The Witcher, CD Projekt RED is also working on Cyberpunk 2, a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. The project has now been placed under the leadership of Gabe Amatangelo, who previously worked on the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty expansion.

Amatangelo's leadership aims to avoid past issues

Gabe Amatangelo has emphasized that his leadership will ensure Cyberpunk 2 continues to progress even if key team members leave. He plans to reorganize the team’s hierarchy to prevent the issues that affected the development of Cyberpunk 2077.

The team is growing and focused on creativity

Currently, 180 people at CD Projekt RED are working on Cyberpunk 2, with more if the Boston-based subsidiary is included. Amatangelo encourages team members to share their ideas, believing this will lead to better outcomes and more productive work.

The game's vision has evolved

Since the project began, Cyberpunk 2 has changed significantly. Amatangelo says his initial vision has evolved as more people have joined the team, and the game now reflects the team’s collective inspiration and effort.

A long wait expected for Cyberpunk 2

Despite the progress on Cyberpunk 2, its release is likely to be delayed. CD Projekt RED’s main focus remains on The Witcher 4, which is expected to launch in 2028.
