It's been reported that CD Project Red will begin development on the new Witcher installment as soon as Cyberpunk 2077 is shipped. According to the studios president they already have a clear concept in mind for "a huge single player game". This news comes weeks after CD Projekt Red's net worth rose to over $6.5 Billion, showing that they are not letting the recent meteoric rise of the company and the palpable hype surrounding Cyberpunk go to their heads It's business as usual from this clearly hard working development team.

Prezes spółki podkreśla, że historia Geralta z Rivii przedstawiona w dotychczasowej trylogii została zakończona i nie będzie kontynuowana. Jednak nie wyklucza stworzenia produkcji osadzonej w uniwersum wiedźmińskim.

My translation: "The director of the company emphasized, that the story of Geralt of Rivia shown in the previous trilogy has finished and it won't be continued. But he doesn't eliminate the possibility of creating a product embedded in the Witcher universe."

Mamy dwa światy i w ramach tych światów chcemy tworzyć gry – w związku z tym wszystkie zaplanowane na razie gry są albo „wiedźmińskie” albo „cyberpunkowe”

My translation: "We have two worlds and we want to create games embedded in them – with respect to that, all plans for games for the time being are either "witchery" or "cyberpunkish"

Można zaryzykować stwierdzenie, że nastąpił zwrot o 180 stopni i scementowaliśmy nasze relacje z panem Sapkowskim, nie tylko na papierze. Współpracujemy.

My translation: "One can risk making a statement that there was a 180 degree turn and we cemented our relationship with Mr Sapkowski, not only on paper. We are cooperating.[/quote]

Od strony zarządzania realizowanymi projektami posiadanie dwóch linii produktowych – Wiedźmin/The Witcher i Cyberpunk oraz niezależnych zespołów deweloperskich będzie umożliwiać prowadzenie równoległej produkcji poszczególnych projektów i wyrównanie planu wydawniczego w kolejnych okresach

My translation: "From the point of view of management of the pursued projects, having two product lines – The Witcher and Cyberpunk and independent development teams will allow us to run the projects in parallel and to stabilise the publishing schedule in the next periods"

yea what I gathered form the article I read is that the new game will be based in the "Witcher universe" and that a small team will be starting the project while the bulk of the studios resources will be focused on Cyberpunks multiplayer elements.

I like that they're focusing their efforts. They've created two worlds and will make games within them, similar to what BioWare did for a while with Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
