Although The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Ten years on, the game has become one of the headliners of Gamescom 2026. CD Projekt Red brought details of the add-on to the show songs from the pasthas announced a remastered version of The Third Part, while sharing the latest information on the development of its next major projects, The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2.
recent years CD project red Start talking more frequently about internal allocation of resources. This approach can in many ways be seen as a post-launch lesson Cyberpunk 2077amid multiple delays and a lack of transparency into the status of the project, leading to massive frustration among players. The company now regularly releases data on the number of employees involved in the creation of future games, giving us at least a rough estimate of how quickly they can be developed.
CDPR’s latest information shows that as of the end of April 2026, the company has a total of 975 developers in various projects. Among them, 513 experts were directly involved The Witcher 4and 163 people are developing “Cyberpunk 2”. The remaining employees were assigned to other projects, including Project Sirius and Project Hadar, as well as various internal tasks.
Over the past period, the developer staff has added about 70 people. At the same time, 6 new employees were sent to “The Witcher 4” and 21 new employees were sent to “The Witcher 4” immediately. Cyberpunk 2. Therefore, the team for the next “Witcher” game is still the largest team in CDPR, and the development momentum of the sequel “Cyberpunk 2077” is gradually increasing.
This distribution fits well with the current status of the project. The Witcher 4 is supposed to be the company’s next major release, with CD Projekt Red expected to release it in 2028. Before then, fans of the series will receive The Witcher 3 Remastered in 2026 and the Song of the Past expansion in 2027.
Cyberpunk 2, on the other hand, is in the early stages of production. The game has moved beyond the pure concept stage, gradually gaining additional resources, but is still far from release. Considering The Witcher 4’s priorities, it’s hardly worth looking forward to a continuation of this futuristic role-playing game until a new game about Geralt.
Meanwhile, CD Projekt Red continues to work on other projects. Project SiriusIt is co-produced by The Molasses Flood studio and is related to the multiplayer branch of the Witcher universe. There are currently very few official details about the game’s final concept. Still more mysterious Hadar Project It is a brand new intellectual property of CDPR that has not been made public so far.
The company’s outlook for the future is also interesting. CD Projekt Red has previously spoken about plans for a new Witcher trilogy, consisting of the fourth, fifth and sixth installments. Meanwhile, it could take about six years between releases. If this approach continues, The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6 may appear around 2030 and 2032 respectively.
However, these dates shouldn’t be considered a complete release schedule just yet. CDPR must finish The Witcher 4 first and then make significant progress on the development of subsequent installments.
The future of Cyberpunk 2 remains unclear. An exact release date has yet to be announced, and the project is much further away from completion than The Witcher 4. Given the current allocation of resources, the most realistic scenario seems to be that a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 will follow a new Witcher game – possibly towards the end of this century or the beginning of the next.
As a result, CD Projekt Red is forming a fairly intensive long-term plan. Over the next few years, the company expects to release a remastered version of The Witcher 3, a new game, and then The Witcher 4, while Cyberpunk 2 and other projects are also in development. If the studio can maintain its current level of transparency and avoid the mistakes of the Cyberpunk 2077 era, fans will just have to wait and see what surprises CDPR has in store for them in the next generation of RPGs.
