CD Projekt Red stands out as one of the most intriguing AAA developers in the gaming industry today. Having earned a solid reputation through the Witcher series, the company faced significant challenges following the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077. However, after a series of updates and the successful Phantom Liberty DLC, CD Projekt Red has regained its status as a creative powerhouse.
The year 2025 is shaping up to be quite intriguing and possibly transformative for the studio, even though there aren’t any major releases lined up. CD Projekt Red is currently managing several exciting projects, including new main installments in both the Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 series, along with various spin-offs. The dedicated developer has been hard at work, and while we may not see the results of this effort just yet, fans can expect to learn more about these developments.
Don’t Expect The Witcher 4 or Cyberpunk 2 in 2025
As we look ahead to what 2025 might bring for CD Projekt Red, it’s important to manage our expectations for this year, even if it feels a bit disappointing. Fans of The Witcher are still buzzing from the cinematic reveal of The Witcher 4 at the recent Game Awards, with some hopeful that the game could be released in 2025. However, the only backing for this speculation comes from a comment made by CDPR CEO Adam Kicinski in 2022, indicating that The Witcher 4 would take at least three years to develop.
In a related context, it seems unlikely that 2025 will be the year CD Projekt Red reveals details about the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, known as Project Orion. Since Project Orion only began its research and development phase last year, it’s clear that while CDPR has ambitious ideas for this next installment, we probably won’t see any significant updates in the coming year.
The Witcher 3’s Modding Scene Could Explode in 2025
The Witcher 3 has long been celebrated for its vibrant modding community, and 2025 may usher in an exciting new chapter. This potential transformation is largely due to the proprietary mod editor released by CD Projekt Red last June, designed to simplify and enhance the modding experience. As these innovative tools become available, the game, often regarded as CDPR’s crowning achievement, is poised to welcome a variety of both grand and modest mods.
CD Projekt Red May Issue a Statement About the Witcher Multiplayer Game This Year
CD Projekt Red is currently working on a multiplayer spin-off set in the Witcher universe, known as Project Sirius. Development for this project reportedly resumed at the beginning of 2023, suggesting a potential change in direction. With the release of Phantom Liberty behind them, Project Sirius is now positioned as a key focus in CDPR’s strategy update from 2022.
