  • Project Canis Majoris: a complete remake of the original Witcher game.
  • Project Sirius: a multiplayer-focused Witcher title developed by Molasses Flood.

Besides games, Netflix is ramping up its Witcher content with new seasons and animated features, ensuring a rich experience for fans. As CD Projekt Red embraces Unreal 5 and prepares for a decade of The Witcher, the upcoming titles promise to captivate both new and existing fans.

Mastering the Craft of The Witcher

Reflecting on CD Projekt Red's journey, the rocky launch of Cyberpunk 2077 taught valuable lessons. Despite initial setbacks, the studio's dedication to redemption shone through in subsequent updates and expansions, akin to the acclaim of The Witcher 3's DLCs. Now, armed with experience and innovation, CD Projekt Red is poised to usher in a new era for The Witcher, setting the stage for a compelling renaissance in the franchise.
