CD Projekt RED commemorates two decades with artful tributes and fresh news

To mark twenty years in the game industry, CD Projekt RED shared two distinctive artworks inspired by the company’s beloved titles. Each piece reimagines a familiar scene through the lens of classic art movements, offering fans a new way to experience familiar worlds. The first work imagines Night City from Cyberpunk 2077 as if it had been painted by Claude Monet, capturing the city’s neon glow and urban texture with impressionist brushwork and soft, luminous light.

The second painting centers on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and depicts Ciri along with a gallery of monsters in a strikingly different style. This piece borrows the bold, fragmented approach of Pablo Picasso, presenting the characters in a way that emphasizes form, shape, and perspective rather than conventional accuracy.

Both canvases were created by Lukasz Poller, a Polish artist associated with CD Projekt RED who has contributed to the studio’s concept art for Cyberpunk 2077. Poller’s two paintings add a new, cross-genre dimension to the company’s portfolio, blending contemporary game lore with century-spanning artistic traditions.

Alongside the artwork reveal, there has been ongoing discussion about upcoming remaster news, including new details, videos, and screenshots related to The Witcher 3. The studio has also confirmed strategic shifts, noting plans to close the mobile Witcher game in the vein of Pokemon GO and to end support for Gwent after 2023. In the same spirit of experimentation, developers are exploring how the Witcher universe can be experienced across different platforms and formats, including fresh gameplay concepts and more accessible entry points for new players.

The Witcher 3 remains a cornerstone of CD Projekt RED’s catalog, and the company’s broader strategy continues to emphasize enduring storytelling, rich world-building, and a commitment to player-focused updates. The recent art releases underscore a willingness to reinterpret familiar characters and settings while preserving the core narratives that fans have come to love. As the studio advances, players can anticipate a mix of remasters, new content, and experiments that push the boundaries of how classic fantasy worlds are presented and enjoyed.
