CD Projekt Red Advances on The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk Sequel, Emphasizing Sustainability

The studio is intensively developing The Witcher 4 and the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, focusing on sustainable development practices to avoid crunch.

CD Projekt Red is actively working on The Witcher 4, known as Project Polaris, and the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, dubbed Project Orion.
Senior developers from Cyberpunk 2077 are largely retained for the sequel to maintain the game's core DNA, while others have joined The Witcher 4 project.
The studio is implementing new, sustainable development practices to prevent employee burnout and ensure high-quality project continuation.
Paweł Sasko, a lead developer, highlighted the importance of avoiding crunch, which helps maintain team morale and productivity.
Both projects are in different stages, with The Witcher 4 being intensively developed and the Cyberpunk sequel still in early stages.
