CD Projekt will restructure to make multiple AAA games simultaneously – Gaming – News

CD Projekt wants to be able to make several major AAA games and add-ons at the same time and is therefore restructuring. In addition, the company only wants to start the marketing campaign later in the development of the game and wants to show images from all platforms.

To develop more games the company says to give the cto a bigger role within the company and CD Projekt will centralize and improve the development of the REDengine. The development studio is also being restructured into multiple, interdisciplinary teams agile go to work. These teams will be supported by ‘experts’ and will work for both Cyberpunk and The Witcher games.

With these changes, the developer needs to make games differently and the company needs to become more proactive. This should make it possible to develop multiple games simultaneously from 2022. The company also says it wants to work on a ‘sustainable and caring work environment’. In the video below, the company says it wants to reduce employee stress and prevent burnouts. It should become easier for employees to be able to talk to higher-ranking employees, they also receive workshops that deal with mental health. There will also be a works council-like body.

CD Projekt RED, a division of CD Projekt responsible for games such as The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, will promote games for a shorter period of time. Trailers, demos and in-depth info about in-gamemechanics the company isn’t going to share until closer to the release of a game. However, the company does not rule out announcing games early via smaller ones teasers.

The developer also wants to better deal with fan expectations, by communicating less about concepts and more with ‘polishedin-game footage. In addition, the company will share more images from all platforms on which a game is released. From Cyberpunk 2077, only images from the next-gen consoles or high-performance PCs were shown. As a result, gamers were disappointed to see that the game on current gen consoles and less powerful PCs looked less good. There were other limitations on the current gene consoles, such as fewer NPCs on the street. According to gamers, this resulted in less atmosphere.

CD Projekt will also stop the five-year plans, but instead want to publish a roadmap every year. Finally, in order to grow the company, CD Projekt wants to invest in broadening the game brands and use more media forms such as TV series, books, comics and toys.
