CD Projekt Red currently has more irons in the fire than Geralt of Rivia’s favourite blacksmith. There’s The Witcher 4<\/a> and Cyberpunk 2<\/a>, which on their own are enough to keep the studio busy for the next decade. But there’s also the mysterious Project Hadar, which we know very little about despite it being in the works for years.<\/p>\n

A few details have emerged over that duration. It’s a new IP rather than a licensed game, one that CD Projekt had “established the foundation of”<\/a> as of March 2026. Now though we have some <\/em>idea of what those foundations are, thanks to a new job listing posted to CDPR’s open positions page.<\/p>\n

The listing<\/a> (via Eurogamer<\/a>) is for an engineering director\u2014someone who will oversee the game’s architecture and technical strategy. “In this position, together with the rest of the team, you will help push the envelope for the next, immersive game in the Hadar world, creating an emotional, open world experience that will stay with gamers.”<\/p>\n

From a developer that specialises in emotional open-world games, it’s hardly a revelation. But I suppose it tells us that CDP is sticking to what it knows with Hadar rather than trying something radically different\u2014at least as far as the structure of the game is concerned\u2014and it’s more likely to be defined by its world and theme than by offering a completely new type of game experience.<\/p>\n
