The Witcher 4 CD comes first for Project Red

From the perspective of Cyberpunk 2077’s historically poor launch, CD Projekt Red was given an impossible task: spin gold from technical and PR firebombs. Over the next few years, the developer did exactly that, spending more than $120 million fixing the game. It paid off, and now Cyberpunk Overall, very good.

But with that behemoth project done and dusted, CD Projekt RED will refocus its focus. WitcherIts fourth entry was officially revealed at The Game Awards 2024 with a cinematic trailer. It's essentially all CDPR has shown of the game, but it's more than anything else in the developer's stable at the moment, indicating that it's next on the release slate. While no firm date has been set, some comments from CD Projekt Red suggest it could be out as early as 2027.

If we are optimistic and think this The Witcher 4 If that 2027 release date hits, then it's highly unlikely that we'll get a look Project Orion Until then. It will only be two years since it started Project Orion's pre-production phase, for one thing, but it's also unlikely that CDPR wants to cannibalize its own.

CD Projekt Red wants to avoid repeating cyberpunk history

The very first cinematic trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 was released in early 2013 to almost universal acclaim and excitement. It's easy to see why CD Projekt Red opted for a dramatic, artful reveal: the developer was riding high from the best. The Witcher 2And teasing such a wildly different sci-fi project proved it's no one-trick pony. It should be noted that the CDPR was yet to be issued The Witcher 3 At the time, therefore, expectations were nowhere near as high Cyberpunk.

CD Projekt Red does not start full development Cyberpunk 2077 Until 2016, this meant it was a fairly standard 4-year development. This differs from the public perception of the game's production, which is that it started at the same time as the reveal trailer, thus spanning 7 or 8 years. Speculations like these led to dissatisfaction and impatience with the audience, along with many claims that the project was in “development hell”, none of which boded well for the project in the long run. Indeed, such variables may actually have contributed Cyberpunk 2077Premature release. Needless to say, CD Projekt Red probably wants to Project OrionProjection to go very different.
