CD Projekt Unveils Fresh Financial Results and a Bold Witcher Roadmap
CD Projekt has published a new set of financial figures that map both current performance and the company’s path forward. A key takeaway is the long‑anticipated next‑gen upgrade for The Witcher 3, which is slated to roll out between October and December this year. This update will reach PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 players, weaving in content inspired by the Netflix series and a visual upgrade that includes ray tracing enhancements. Importantly, the upgrade will be provided at no extra cost to players.
Following the results release, the management team reiterated ongoing conversations with investors. CEO Adam Kiciński stated that work on the next entry in The Witcher saga has entered the pre‑production phase. A sizable crew has been mobilized for the project, underscoring the ambition for a major new installment. The company also signaled hopes for a multi‑part continuation of the franchise, with the second game already in early development and discussions about a potential third part pursuing a broader narrative arc.
The Witcher project news traces back to March 2022, and today’s update confirms development on Unreal Engine 5. This foundation enables richer visuals and more expansive world‑building. The forthcoming title is described as centering on a protagonist affiliated with the Lynx School, expanding the Witcher universe with new lore and character dynamics. In other industry chatter, reports emerged that pre‑orders for STALKER 2 were canceled and refunds issued to buyers, a note included here to illustrate recent marketplace activity.
Market observers and fans alike can expect a continued push from CD Projekt toward a broader, interconnected Witcher experience. The company emphasizes its intent to grow the franchise while maintaining the high bar for quality and storytelling that has defined the series since its inception. While specifics remain forthcoming, the roadmap suggests a cadence of major releases that could redefine the studio’s post‑The Witcher universe and expand the ongoing narrative for years to come.
