CD Projekt has declared that Polaris, the next game in the new Witcher trilogy – which for simplicity we call The Witcher 4 although there is no official name – it is now the studio’s largest project, both in terms of number of people who work thereand for the level of progress of the project.
“Over 400 people are currently working on the game,” Chief Financial Officer Piotr Nielubocwicy said in a financial presentation, “and we expect to move to the production phase in the second half of the year.”
How CD Projekt developers are divided
There’s also a handy graph illustrating the breakdown – this isn’t a big change in the numbers from the previous report and for now the game remains in pre-productionbut even so the CD Projekt RED workforce remains deeply focused on The Witcher 4.
The current numbers also correspond to one statement made by co-CEO Adam Badowski in January. The executive had in fact stated that CD Projekt “would like to have around 400 people working on it [Polaris] by the middle of the year.”
As we can see, this number has been reached since February, so it is possible that CD Projket RED is ahead of its development time. We can consider this as a positive signal for action RPG?
Unfortunately we don’t have any kind of information on a possible release date for The Witcher 4 (or whatever its name will be, as we were saying), but CD Projekt RED has stated that it wants to publish big games more frequently.
