Key Points:
- At Gamescom 2026, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) highlighted The Witcher 3's new Songs of the Past DLC and announced a remaster, while also providing updates on The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 development.
- CDPR has improved transparency compared to Cyberpunk 2077's launch by regularly sharing development resource allocations, revealing current team sizes and hiring trends.
- As of April, 975 developers were working across various projects, with 513 on The Witcher 4 and 163 on Cyberpunk 2; recent hires increased these numbers slightly, indicating strong progress for The Witcher 4 and gradual ramp-up for Cyberpunk 2.
- The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release, with The Witcher 3 Remastered and Songs of the Past arriving in 2026 and 2027 respectively; Cyberpunk 2 and other projects like Project Sirius and Project Hadar remain in earlier development stages.
- CDPR aims to release The Witcher 4, 5, and 6 within six years, potentially launching The Witcher 5 in 2030 and The Witcher 6 in 2032, though this aggressive timeline will test the studio's development capabilities.
