In a tweet, the devs tease that the follow-up will take the “franchise further” and will “continue harnessing the potential of this dark future universe”. While the message is a little cryptic, is does seem the studio is ready to give us more Cyberpunk. The North America team which consists of the their Boston branch as well as their existing Vancouver team will be working on the project, and are separate from those working on future Witcher games The Molasses Flood.
When the game first launched, it had a somewhat bumpy start as there were a number of bugs and performance issues. The game even had to be temporarilytaken downfrom the PlayStation store while the necessary fixes were made to get the game up to speed. The developer then continued to release further patches.
Recently the studio had announced an expansionPhantom Libertyis in development, the recently released Netflix anime seriesCyberpunk: Edgerunnersand content related to the anime which has all helped to bolster thegame’s popularityboosting concurrent players to over 85,000.
New Witcher Games
In the strategic report, CDPR also outlined not one but three individual projects forThe Witcheruniverse. Currently, they are under the code names Project Sirius, Project Polaris and Project Canis Majoris. Sirius aims to focus on garnering a wider audience, having both single-player and multiplayer gameplay. While Polaris will be the first of the new Witcher trilogy, with the current trajectory of the three titles being published over six years.
