Cyberpunk 2077, which was launched in December 2020 with significant technical problems, has now become a sales success. With over 35 million copies sold, the game has reached this milestone faster than CD Projekt’s previous hit, The Witcher 3. These impressive sales figures underscore the continued appeal of the cyberpunk franchise and give the company the opportunity to plan bolder moves in the future.
Cyberpunk 2077’s initial difficulties were so severe that the game was temporarily removed from the PlayStation Store. CD Projekt was forced to process numerous refunds. Still, the RPG sold over 13 million copies in its first few weeks of release, making it one of the fastest-selling RPGs in history. The company’s executives also benefited from this success and received significant bonuses.
CD Projekt has kept its promise to continually improve the game, culminating in the release of Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 in 2023. This version brought numerous improvements and expansions, including the Phantom Liberty expansion, which has already sold over 10 million copies. These developments have not only regained the trust of players, but also laid the foundation for future projects.
The success of Cyberpunk 2077 has led CD Projekt to announce the development of a sequel, Cyberpunk 2. This project will be developed in the company’s new offices in Boston, as well as in its existing teams in Warsaw and Vancouver. There are currently 135 people working on the game, with plans to expand the team to over 300 employees by 2027. This suggests that a release date before 2028 is unlikely.
In addition to Cyberpunk 2, CD Projekt is working on several other projects, including The Witcher 4, a multiplayer Witcher game, a new IP project codenamed Hadar, and a remake of the original Witcher game. These diverse projects demonstrate the company’s commitment to further expanding its position as a leading role-playing game developer.
