CD Projekt Red has announced 5 new games to be in development. The details about the projects have been shared via the Twitter account of CD Projekt Red. To briefly summarize what we are going to see, there are 3 new Witcher games, a whole new IP, and a new Cyberpunk game.
Project Orion
Project Polaris
Project Canis Majoris
Project Sirius
Project Hadar
This is not only great news for those who love Cyberpunk and The Witcher games but also for those who like CD Projekt’s work, as we will be getting a new IP from them. So arguably, one of the most interesting projects among all of these would be Project Hadar.
Project Canis Majoris is not any less than Hadar in terms of gaining attention, as it’s being developed by an external development team that is unknown as of now. The announcement from CD Projekt states “This is the first such product being developed outside of the Group. However, this does not imply that its quality will lag behind our in-house productions. From the technological standpoint it will be based on Unreal Engine 5, along with the toolset created for Polaris. Expect additional announcements soon.”
About the new IP, CD Projekt CFO Michał Nowakowski says “We started toying with the idea several years ago. Early-stage conceptual work commenced in 2021, and – for the first time in our history – the IP is being incubated entirely within CD Projekt Red. It is important to understand that right now we are still working on basic concepts and laying the groundwork for this new franchise.”
It will still take a while until we get new details on these games, but just knowing that these projects exist makes me excited on its own. We will update you with more details as they arrive.
