As part of its latest earnings report, CD Projekt has offered an revised breakdown of the projects currently occupying the studio's time, confirming the "bulk of" its development capacity is now focused on Cyberpunk 2077's paid story expansion, which is still expected to launch next year..
Following Cyberpunk's disastrous release at the tail-end of 2020, the majority of CD Projekt's development resources were focused on remedying the game's most pressing issues. At the same time, a smaller team was working on its next-gen release, promised long before the project's launch woes, and an even smaller group was doing preliminary work on its expansion.
Inevitably, those numbers have shifted considerably over time - less than half of CD Projekt's development team was working on Cyberpunk's base game and next-gen update by June last year, for instance - and that trend has, unsurprisingly, continued. As per today's financial results, Cyberpunk 2077 support has "shrunk considerably" following the release of its next-gen update (which CD Projekt says "had a positive effect on the game's perception and sales figures"), with the "bulk of [the studio's] development capacity" now working on its expansion.
