It is the beginning of a new saga: we aim to release two more Witcher games after Polaris, creating a new AAA RPG trilogy.&#8221;  The full trilogy is intended to be released &#8220;in a six-year period&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>canis majoris <\/strong>&#8211; &#8220;A full-fledged Witcher game, separate to the new Witcher saga starting with Polaris.

Developed externally by a currently unknown developer, the strategy announcement explains, &#8220;This is the first such product being developed outside of the Group. However, this does not imply that its quality will lag behind our in-house productions. From the technological standpoint it will be based on Unreal Engine 5, along with the toolset created for Polaris. Expect additional announcements soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Canis Majoris marks what seems to be a newly open CD Projekt, which is willing to work with partners on both games and other media after the success of Netflix&#8217;s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.  &#8220;Our goal is to work with experienced partners who can meet our quality requirements and deliver worthwhile experiences for our fans,&#8221; said CFO Micha\u0142 Nowakowski.  &#8220;We are doing this to create new, exciting ways of interacting with our brands, and also to enable our internal teams to focus on what drives us as a company: developing revolutionary role-playing games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Details on the new IP, Hadar, are understandably scant but Nowakowski added, &#8220;We started toying with the idea several years ago. Early-stage conceptual work commenced in 2021, and \u2013 for the first time in our history \u2013 the IP is being incubated entirely within CD Projekt Red. It is important to understand that right now we are still working on basic concepts and laying the groundwork for this new franchise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"article-video-container\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The news comes after CD Projekt announced it would begin developing Witcher and Cyberpunk games simultaneously, while also purchasing The Molasses Flood to work on games in its universes.
