Summary
CD Projekt Redhas had a strange last few years. One of the most anticipated games of all time,Cyberpunk 2077had an infamously devastating launch back in 2020, with its technical issues on console causing it to be pulled from some major marketplaces. But over the last few years, CD Projekt Red has managed to do something that fans once thought impossible, not onlyredeemingCyberpunk 2077through updates, but making it a genuinely excellent, must-play title with the help of a stellar DLC expansion.
It seems fair to say that 2023 was somewhat of a redemption year forCD Projekt Red, and at least in the eyes of most fans, it’s a developer that’s now ready to jump back to the top of the gaming industry. And CD Projekt Red isn’t going to get there by just resting on its laurels. There are currently five separate CD Projekt Red video games in the works, and in 2024, fans might get to see more from one or two of them.
CD Projekt Red Has a Lot of Games in Development Right Now
CD Projekt Red Will Bring Mod Support to The Witcher 3 in 2024
Back in November 2023, CD Projekt Red announced that it was bringing an official mod editor toThe Witcher 3at some point in 2024. Available completely for free,The Witcher 3’s official mod editorwill only be available for those on PC. Though CD Projekt Red hasn’t gone into full details about it just yet, thisWitcher 3mod editor will allow players to edit existing quests, or create entirely new ones, presumably with many of the game’s assets being available in one streamlined location.
CD Projekt Red Could Reveal The Next Witcher Game in 2024
But what fans are really hoping they see from CD Projekt Red in 2024 is some kind of newWitcherannouncement or reveal. There are currently threeWitcherprojects in the works at CDPR, codenamedPolaris,Sirius, andCanis Majoris. If any of theseWitcherprojects are going to be announced in 2024, the most likely candidate isPolaris, the next mainline entry in theWitchersaga, anda direct sequel toThe Witcher 3. Set to be the start of a new trilogy, CDPR has previously mentioned thatPolariswill release “no earlier than 2025,” which means that a 2024 reveal isn’t out of the realm of possibility, even if it’s just a quick 30-second trailer showing the new trilogy’s protagonist.
The multiplayer spinoff, projectSirius, would have been anotherWitchergame in the running for a reveal in 2024, but back in March 2023 the game apparently had to restart its development due to issues with its creative vision.Sirius' developer, The Molasses Flood, suffered a round of layoffs soon after. This all probably means thatSiriusis still a ways off, and the likelihood of it showing up at all in 2024 isn’t high. Theremake of the firstWitcher, codenamedCanis Majoris, also isn’t likely to appear this year, with its release window not even opening until 2026.
CD Projekt Red Probably Won’t Have Any Cyberpunk News
Coming hot off the heels ofPhantom Liberty, many fans are desperate for some moreCyberpunk 2077news, but unfortunately, CD Projekt Red probably won’t have any to share in 2024. According to the last reports,Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel, codenamedOrion, won’t start early development until 2024, meaning that fans likely won’t see anything major from the series for quite some time.
CD Projekt Red also has its own original IP currently in the works, codenamed ProjectHadar, but this title is in very early development and probably won’t be seen at all in 2024.
