Former CD Projekt Red developers form a new studio

"After working for years in an increasingly conservative industry, we're ready to make bold, impactful projects that share our unique creativity and values," said Kanik. "Where the industry champions a dictatorship of the creative individual, we want to give ownership to the team. Where the industry leans on crunch culture, we prefer work-life balance. Where the industry says bigger is better, we're setting our sights on highly polished games with a focus on emotion, story, and craftsmanship."

Blank. is keeping its debut title under wraps at the moment. The studio has revealed that the upcoming title will be a post-apocalyptic adventure and a single piece of artwork has been released by the studio to tease its first project. The concept art for the new game depicts a road trip through a rundown town.

"Over our many years of making games, we've seen the importance of marrying inspiring ideas with a well-defined scope, that's supported by a strong team and realistic budget," Mróz said. "We're committed to quality craftsmanship and running the studio in a sustainable way; we plan to increase our projects' scope as we expand the team and its capabilities."

As for CD Projekt RED, the company recently made headlines after revealing the impressive new sales milestone achieved by The Witcher franchise.
