Insider and YouTuber Endymion shared information about the future of CD Projekt RED. According to his data, the studio is not in the best condition due to the departure of key personnel and the promotion of ‘policies of inclusion and diversity’.
Many talented employees have left CDPR, he said. In his video, the insider recalled the director’s departure The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, who was accused of office bullying in 2021. Employee turnover was also influenced by the implementation of inclusion and diversity (DEI) initiatives on projects and in the workplace. That’s why CD Projekt RED has been leaning heavily on outsourcing lately, Endymion reports.
For the same reason, the studio had to replace the RED Engine with Unreal Engine. It is believed that CDPR no longer has developers who know how to work with the old engine.
Let us remind you that CD Projekt RED is currently working on a sequel Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 4. The latter tells a completely new story and will be released around 2026. According to Geralt’s voice actor, his character may still appear in the new part.
