“We are hard at work on the next-gen version of Cyberpunk, scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2022, alongside another major update for all platforms,” CD Projekt Group president Adam Kiciński said inthe business blast. “There is also ongoing work on the next-gen version of The Witcher 3 and the Cyberpunk expansion.”

He also noted that they are “[carrying] on with the transformation of our studio, which is affecting more and more production teams.” Theyannounced plansto shift to parallel game development back in March, simultaneously working on both their RPG series.

The game seems to have picked up a lot of new players during the sales. Its 25,000-odd new player reviews on Steam within the past 30 days together are 83% positive, higher than its overall rating."
