” We can’t wait to revisit the universe that has shaped our history so much. said Adam Kiciński, President of CD Projekt Red, in the press release accompanying the company’s results presentation for the past quarter. He pursues : ” We recently completed the research phase for the first game in the new The Witcher saga, which means that from now on further development expenditure will be capitalized on our balance sheet. “Let us remember that the one we provisionally call The Witcher 4 will be developed on Unreal Engine 5, the result of a ” long-term strategic partnership with Epic Games “.
Besides that, Adam Kiciński wanted to point out that the 1.5 update of Cyberpunk 2077 had ” a positive effect on the perception of the game and sales figures, particularly on consoles “, before recalling that the studio remained committed to improving the title, while also specifying that” the team assigned to this task has been considerably reduced “. And for good reason, the distribution of its workforce is now in favor of the scripted extension planned for next year and whose communication campaign should begin in the second half of 2022.
Finally, this presentation of the company’s results would not be one without a few figures. CD Projekt Red thus recorded a total of 46,862,440 euros in turnover for this first quarter, an increase of 9%. A result that owes a lot to the rebound recorded by Cyberpunk 2077 following the release of the native PS5 and Xbox Series versions. ” Our balance of cash, deposits and treasury bonds increased by over €23,202,415 in the first three months of 2022. concludes the press release.
