Focusing on The Witcher Instead

It appears that CD Projekt Red is prioritizing their beloved franchise, The Witcher, over Cyberpunk 2077. Given the challenges Cyberpunk 2077 faced upon release, fans of Geralt of Rivia can be pleased that the studio is not diverting attention to other projects. There's optimism that The Witcher will continue to deliver quality content, with the next installment anticipated to be released in 2025.

  • Additionally, there are reports that CD Projekt Red is actively working on the next Cyberpunk game, codename Orion.

False Start

Upon its release, Cyberpunk 2077 encountered issues such as bugs and glitches, resulting in a tumultuous beginning despite high industry expectations. The initial hype quickly dissipated, hindering Cyberpunk 2077 from achieving cult-classic status like The Witcher. Despite efforts by developers to rectify the issues and create a more polished final product, it may be too late.

  • Despite everything, Cyberpunk 2077 has the biggest digital game launch in gaming history .

CD Projekt Red's decision to step away from Cyberpunk 2077 three years after its release is understandable, as the game has run its course. While the current state of gameplay is commendable, the missed opportunities have affected its long-term success. Here's to hoping that future projects will uphold the greatness of CD Projekt Red's legacy.
