Development on Project Polaris - or 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4, as everyone outside of CD Projekt would prefer to call it - is expanding in a major way as Cyberpunk 2077 winds down, a🌊ccording to the company's latest financial report.

While we don't have hard numbers on how many developers are working on each project, a graph in the company's latest shows that the development team on The Witcher 4 has dramatically expanded in recent months, just as a development on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has apparently begun to wind down.

During a Q&A with investors, CEO Adam Kicinski confirmed that once Phantom Liberty is💖 out, "we'll transfer a big part of the team to [Witcher 4]. Some members will be moved onto [Cyberpunk] Orion or [original IP] Hadar, but we will also be supporting Phantom Liberty aft𝄹er launch."

The expansion of Witcher 4 development also comes alongside shrinking investment in Gwent, Project Sirius (whose thirdౠ-party developer recently suffered l🅰ayoffs amid a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:project restructure), The Witcher: Monster Slayer (which was ), and The Witcher𒉰 3's nex♛t-gen upgrades.

At least, that's what this graph makes it look like. Without hard numbers on dev team sizes, it's tough to guess at CDPR exact business strategy, but at least we've got an idea of what the studio's relative investment in each of its projects looks like. Here's hoping that the studio's next resource reallocation doesn't involve any massive layoffs, as with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:100 employees wh☂o were let gꦍo earlier this year due to what CDPR called overstaffing.

There are a lot of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming CD Projekt Red games on the horizon, th👍ough it'll be several years before we even know what many of them are. One thing's for sure, though: there's a lot more of The Witcher in our collective future.

Phantom Liberty is looking like much more than an expansion.
