CD Projekt Red has been steadily growing out its teams in recent years as it expands into a true multi-project studio. Over the past few months, the company has hired around 50 more developers, growing out the teams for both Cyberpunk 2 and The Witcher 4. 

CD Projekt Red's Q3 earnings report is now live and as usual, the company included a graphic detailing how many developers it has assigned to each of its upcoming games. At this point, there are over 850 developers working across CDPR's studios. More than half of them are working on The Witcher 4, which is the game ‘closest' to release, although it is still unlikely to release before 2028.

The Cyberpunk 2 team has also grown in recent months, with 135 developers now working on the game. Cyberpunk 2 has not yet entered full production, but the team has been scaling up, indicating that good progress is being made on laying the groundwork for the sequel. If all goes well, Cyberpunk 2 should be in the full swing of production by the time The Witcher 4 comes out, which should hopefully reduce wait times between projects.

Project Sirius and Project Hadar are two smaller-scale games being worked on. One of them is a remake of The Witcher 1, allowing the game to be released on consoles for the first time ever. However, we do not know what the other game is.

KitGuru Says: CD Projekt Red appears to be managing its new multi-project approach well. Assuming everything remains on track, we could potentially see both The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 within a few years of each other. This would be a huge improvement, as we had to wait more than five years between the releases of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 – if you were one of the people that waited for Cyberpunk to be ‘fixed' before playing, then you would have waited over seven years between releases.
