What to expect from The Witcher, Cyberpunk Developer CD Projekt Red in 2025

by

CD Projekt Red is one of the most fascinating AAA developers on the gaming scene right now. After years of building goodwill with Charmer franchise, the company's reputation was in danger of being destroyed by a disastrous release Cyberpunk 2077. Now after years of updates and great Phantom Liberty DLC, CD Projekt Red is once again seen as a creatively rich and impressive force in the industry. Hopefully, this upward trajectory will continue in the coming years.

And 2025 is sure to be an interesting and potentially pivotal year for the studio, even though no major releases are planned. In fact, CD Projekt Red is juggling a number of promising projects right now, including new major entries in both Charmer and Cyberpunk 2077 franchises and a number of spin-offs. The prestigious developer is certainly leaning to the grindstone, and even if the fruits of much of that work don't materialize this year, viewers could definitely get more information about them.
