CD Projekt Red has lifted the veil on its titles in development. According to the company, it's working on three new Witcher titles, a new Cyberpunk game, and a standalone original IP being developed in-house. All of these projects are currently in pre-production or in the design phase. The company also plans to expand its teams with a new studio in North America.
Of the new Witcher projects on the table, CD Projekt Red's core team is said to be working on only one: Project Polaris. CDPR revealed this title, planned as the first installment of a new Witcher trilogy, with a teaser image in March. It's still in pre-production, but according to the company, it plans to release all three games within six years.
Also in the works are Sirius, a story-based experience set in the Witcher universe, and Canis Majoris, an open-world RPG. Molasses Flood, which CDPR acquired last year, is working on Sirius, while Canis Majoris is "contracted to be developed by a third-party studio run by ex-Witcher veterans." It does not say which studio it will be.
He is also working on a new Cyberpunk title, a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 called Project Orion. Also developed by the CD Projekt Red team, it "will prove the full power and potential of the Cyberpunk universe". CDPR hasn't started work on Orion, as they are currently developing a major DLC for 2077 called Phantom Liberty, which is in its final production stage.
