With hype levels at critical mass, the RPG released in a buggy, unoptimised, and downright unfinished state that was so bad the PS4 version of the game was<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/sony-has-removed-cyberpunk-2077-from-the-playstation-store\/\"> pulled from the PlayStation store<\/a>. The company&#8217;s share price tanked, investors filed a class action lawsuit, and CDPR&#8217;s reputation was left in tatters.<\/p>\n<p>Yet at the same time, Cyberpunk 2077 was a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/cyberpunk-2077-is-now-cd-projekts-main-source-of-income-and-sales-are-outpacing-the-witcher-3-its-latest-milestone-is-a-better-result-than-the-witcher-3-was-able-to-achieve-in-the-same-post-release-time-frame\/\"> huge commercial success<\/a>, and CD Projekt used some of those profits to fix its broken blockbuster. Its<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/forget-phantom-liberty-cyberpunk-2077s-free-20-patch-is-a-staggering-upgrade-on-its-own\/\"> 2.0 patch<\/a>, combined with the excellent<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/uk\/cyberpunk-2077\/\"> Phantom Liberty<\/a> expansion, addressed many of the RPG&#8217;s problems, successfully turning around the game&#8217;s reputation and cementing its place as a roleplaying great.<\/p>\n<p>As far as I&#8217;m concerned, all is forgiven. But CDPR co-CEO Micha\u0142 Nowakowski doesn&#8217;t believe this is the case for everyone. In a live interview at DevGAMM Gda\u0144sk republished in the Edge magazine&#8217;s Knowledge newsletter (via<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesradar.com\/games\/cyberpunk\/cdpr-boss-hopes-the-witcher-4-wins-back-fans-still-put-off-by-cyberpunk-2077s-disastrous-launch-im-not-100-percent-convinced-we-went-through-the-full-redemption-arc\/\" target=\"_blank\"> GamesRadar<\/a>), Nowakowski lamented that Cyberpunk&#8217;s launch debacle likely lost the studio some fans permanently.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not 100 per cent convinced we went through the full redemption arc,&#8221; Nowakowski told interviewer J\u00f6rg Tittel. &#8220;I&#8217;m convinced that we lost the faith of some people indefinitely, and that&#8217;s a fair thing. But I do hope we will be able to make it back\u2014if not with The Witcher 4, then with whatever comes next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/kfX9n_G0N2Y\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While there may still be some holes in CDPR&#8217;s reputation, the experience of fixing Cyberpunk did leave the studio in an advantageous position. Not only financially, but also in terms of its team. &#8220;We were left with seasoned, battle-hardened veterans; leaders who were able to carry a different kind of challenge on their shoulders,&#8221; Nowakowski explained.<\/p>\n<p>This, according to Nowakowski, is why CDPR was able to spread into a multi-project company, with both The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 currently in production, as well as the mysterious Project Hadar. The goal is to become a more prolific developer. But not <em>too <\/em>prolific.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our dream is to be making more games, although we never want to turn into the studio that&#8217;s going to be launching a big game every year,&#8221; Nowakowski said. &#8220;It may happen. But this is not the goal. We have a rough ten-year rolling plan, but the goal is not to flood the games market with CDPR games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to be a while before we see the results of CDPR&#8217;s more prolific structure. The Witcher 4 isn&#8217;t due until 2027 at the earliest (and I suspect is more likely to arrive in 2028). Cyberpunk 2, meanwhile, may not arrive until 2030.<\/p>\n<p>This is probably why CDPR has greenlit a third expansion to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/uk\/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt\/\"> The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/a>. Songs of the Past, which is being built by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/the-thaumaturge-review\/\"> The Thaumaturge<\/a> developers Fool&#8217;s Theory, is due to be released next year. The expansion is expected to provide a big extra chunk of Witcher-ing, estimated to be similar to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/uk\/the-witcher-3-blood-and-wine\/\"> Blood &#038; Wine<\/a> in scope.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"1ae28b02-89ed-4ea6-a4c0-d2d764c16177\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"The Witcher 4\" data-dimension48=\"The Witcher 4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:396px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"UiHQzGbgDWuTSBXL62v4Fd\" name=\"ciri-geralt-square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/cd-projekt-red-boss-believes-some-fans-were-forever-burned-by-cyberpunk-2077s-disastrous-launch-im-convinced-that-we-lost-the-faith-of-some-people-indefinitely.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"396\" height=\"396\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/will-there-be-a-witcher-4-heres-what-we-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"1ae28b02-89ed-4ea6-a4c0-d2d764c16177\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"The Witcher 4\" data-dimension48=\"The Witcher 4\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>The Witcher 4<\/strong><\/a>: What we know about Ciri&#8217;s story<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-witcher-3-mods\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Witcher 3 mods<\/strong><\/a>: Good hunting<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-witcher-books\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Witcher books<\/strong><\/a>: Where to start<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/witcher-3-console-commands-cheats\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Witcher 3 console commands<\/strong><\/a>: Cheat death<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/movies-tv\/the-witcher-season-4-netflix\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Witcher season 4<\/strong><\/a>: Hemsworth&#8217;s debut<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/cd-projekt-red-boss-believes-some-fans-were-forever-burned-by-cyberpunk-2077s-disastrous-launch-im-convinced-that-we-lost-the-faith-of-some-people-indefinitely\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The infamous launch of Cyberpunk 2077 was a low point in CD Projekt Red&#8217;s history.
