As part of its strategy presentation, CD Projekt announced that it has several new games in development. Although details are scant, the company has announced that a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 for 2020 is in development under the codename “Project Orion” and will demonstrate the full power and potential of the Cyberpunk universe upon its release.
In addition, there are a number of new games set in the world of The Witcher that are also in various stages of development. All of these are also developed under various code names, and they include Project Sirius, Project Polaris, and Project Canis Majoris. In addition to the two most popular franchises, CD Projekt is also working on Project Hadar, a new standalone IP address.
CD Projekt said in its briefing that it has launched a new “AAA Parallel Development” strategy this year and that it also plans to promote a healthy and sustainable work environment. As its franchises expand, the company plans to be more transparent, enhance its development capabilities, and offer more multiplayer experiences to its traditional single-player games.
