It’s time to take stock for CD Projectwhich shared its financial results on Thursday and the outline of its plans for the year 2022. Inevitably, these are the studio’s two flagship licenses that have made the headlines with millions of copies sold, with a few small details on what awaits us at the end of the year. future, but nothing really new unfortunately.
A video was thus broadcast, in which the CFO Piotr Nielubowicz looks back on the 2021 fiscal year, recalling that the studio has released 8 major updates for Cyberpunk 2077 and released the versions next gen last February on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. In this regard, the game totals more than 18 million copies sold worldwide. Yes, it’s huge, but to recontextualize. Indeed, a year ago, sales were at 13.7 million copies, so there are only a little more than 5 million games sold over the year, no doubt far from the initial hopes of the studio. Its extension (in the singular) will only happen not before 2023while anime Cyberpunk: Edge Runners will see the light of day this year during the 2nd semester.
On the side of The Witcherthe saga is still a hit, with more than 65 million games in the trilogy having been sold, including more than 40 million for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt alone. Compared to last year, this therefore gives more than 10 million copies of the game having found takers, i.e. double compared to Cyberpunk 2077… Yes, it hurts and this third episode has not said its last word, since it will be released on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, whose development will take longer than expected since Saber Interactive was ousted. As a reminder, a fourth unpublished part will begin a new saga, developed under Unreal Engine 5.
Internal changes to the studio are also mentioned, as well as its expansion in Vancouver and Boston with the acquisition of The Molasses Floodwhich is working on a game based on one of the two licenses already in place. Several unannounced projects are otherwise in the conceptual stage. Finally, from a financial point of view, everything is fine and some big numbers are given in the video if you are interested.
Yes Cyberpunk 2077 eyeing you, it’s sold 27 € on Amazon in its PS4 version.
