This year, Sony and Microsoft have major acquisitions: Microsoft has acquired Activision Blizzard, while Sony has acquired Bungie, Destiny’s game development studio. The target this time is CD Projekt Red, a Polish developer known for The Witcher and Traitor 2077.
This news was recently confirmed by gaming industry analyst Rythian, who said Sony and CD Projekt Red have already negotiated many times for the acquisition.
Not a rumor, Sony has approached CD Projekt several times. That’s why CD did all of this by announcing several The Witcher games along with the new Cyberpunk, is to raise their own shares before the acquisition. https://t.co/FBzNdJEfqU

If you are up to date with the news, you should remember that this month CD Projekt Red released a number of works in development, including three “Witcher” series codenamed Sirius, Polaris, Canis Majoris, codenamed “Electricity “A of Orion’s new work from” Traveling the Traitor “and a new IP work codenamed Hadar. Additionally, “The Witcher: Remake” was officially announced in the previous (26) days.
Rythian said that CD Projekt Red’s choice to reveal a large number of plans for new jobs right now is intentional, the main reason being to increase the company’s valuation in the market to get better deal conditions.
Foreign media believe it is difficult to say whether this transaction will be negotiated or not, and there are often negotiations on acquisitions. Therefore, this news cannot be taken seriously at this stage, but it cannot be confirmed. The acquisition has always been reserved When we return home, it will only be officially announced the day the two teams have made the final decision.
Interestingly, while Sony has sued Microsoft for anti-monopoly on the one hand, it doesn’t seem to have any intention of stopping the takeover war on the other. Will Sony be able to acquire CD Projekt Red? Let’s wait and see!
