Anticipation is high for the upcoming Witcher game, following the immense success of The Witcher: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt has solidified its position as a top development team with this series. Financially, Cyberpunk 2077 has also been a hit. Pavel Sasko, director of the next Cyberpunk game, shared some intriguing insights in a recent interview.
CD Projekt Red has made the new Witcher saga a top priority, especially after the challenges faced during Cyberpunk 2077’s development. The team is focused on creating a stable game development process to prevent similar issues in the future. Sasko revealed that a dedicated team is already hard at work on the next Witcher game, requiring intense effort.
Meanwhile, work on the next Cyberpunk game is also underway, with teams spread across the US, Poland, and Canada. The project in Poland involves experienced artists from the Phantom Liberty expansion, while the Vancouver team provides engineering support. The main development hub is in Boston.
Many key figures from Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty are involved in the new projects, ensuring continuity and the preservation of the games’ DNA. Sasko expressed interest in incorporating the branching narrative structure from the Phantom Liberty expansion into future games, despite the challenges it presents.
The branching narrative concept, seen in The Witcher 2 and Blood and Wine in The Witcher 3, offers players different story paths and endings based on their choices. Sasko emphasized the importance of balancing player choice and consequences in creating immersive role-playing experiences.
