As it looks to the future, CD Projekt Red wantsThe Witcher 4and other new projects to be “something that we’ve never made at this scale, historically.”

During the company’s latestearnings conferenceon November 28, CD Projekt Red’s chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz discussed how the studio will distribute revenue going forward, following the successful release ofCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyand its best-ever third quarter, according to its earningsreport(viaGamesRadar+).

“We definitely want to continue with developing games and with investing into them,” Nielubowicz said. “We want to do it at a scale that was not precedented in the history of our company, working on a few projects at the same time - something that we’ve never made at this scale, historically.”

In terms of what’s next for CDPR, CEO Adam Kiciński joined the discussion to say that “Polarisis one of our top priorities”- the nextThe Witchergame which will kick off a new saga for the series.

“But we have to bear in mind that we are in parallel development for some time, and that’s a strategy goal, to be able to develop AAA games [in parallel],” he continued. “AsPolarisis high priority, building the team in North America forCyberpunkis the same priority.

“We are also working on other projects besides video games within our franchises,” he continued. “We have nothing to announce at the moment but we’ve been working on this for quite a while and the time will come to share some insights about this.

“And of course, The Molasses Flood will continue to developProjectSiriuswith some direction,” Kiciński added. “AndCanis Majoris[a remake of the firstWitchergame], a very special project. We know the game very well because it’sThe Witcher 1, but at the same time we want to remake it with all the new technology and designs that we are preparing forPolaris.”
