CD Projekt Red, the Polish developer best known for its amazing RPG series The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, has officially finished imagining up a new world for us to play in. The “world vision” stage for its new IP, Project Hadar, has been completed and work has officially begun on turning those concepts into a video game.
"This has been our biggest undertaking to date, taking us several years, but at this point we can say we have a coherent vision for this world and its key elements,” said Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski. “The team has begun work on the game, although it's not yet in pre-production.”
In September, CD Projekt Red said it was staffing up for Project Hadar, with a team over 30 strong with plans "to hire more, up to 50 developers by the end of this year. But what is it? In June, a new job advert teased what to expect, calling for an engineering director who would help “push the envelope for the next, immersive game in the Hadar world, creating an emotional, open-world experience that will stay with gamers.” Open-world confirmed!
CD Projekt Red is of course currently hard at work making The Witcher 4, which is the next game on the studio’s slate due out 2028. Before that, though, a third major expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, titled Songs of the Past, is scheduled for release next year. Developed by Fool’s Theory, a team of former CD Projekt developers, the expansion aims to bridge the gap between The Witcher 3 and the next game in the series, starring Geralt’s adopted daughter, Ciri.
