CDPR to Work on New Witcher and Cyberpunk Titles Simultaneously in 2022

CD Projekt Red learned just how quickly video game fans can turn on you, when you fail to deliver on your initial promises.

As of the moment, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to be a mess. It's not for the lack of effort though. CDPR has been vocal about all the steps that they've taken to help make Cyberpunk 2077 more playable, especially on last-gen consoles - the PS4 and Xbox One. However, as things stand, CDPR still has a long way to go with Cyberpunk 2077.

With that said, CD Projekt Red, otherwise affectionately referred to by their many fans as CDPR, is turning this expensive mistake into a learning opportunity.

According to a recent statement, CDPR will no longer focus all its efforts on one project at a time. Instead, the Polish video game development studio promised that they'll grow their teams, create transferable tech, and even acquire an entirely new studio if necessary. All of this they'll do to make sure that the game can work on two triple-A games in parallel.

In their presentation, CDPR announced that a lot of big changes are coming to how they handle things. In particular, how CDPR plans on splitting its time working on their two main franchises, the Witcher and Cyberpunk. At the core of this strategy is how they will design the RED engine so that it's capable of adapting to both titles.

Essentially, what this will mean is that both games will use the same engine. This will effectively give each game's respective development teams enough time to flesh out each title. At the same time, CDPR also promises that they will utilize "cross-functional teams" and "cross-project experts" going forward.
