Best known for its work on The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, CDPR has become one of gaming’s biggest names today. However, the team stumbled a few years back, hurting its reputation after the disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077.

While those days are behind CDPR, the developer believes it may never recover from the setback. Clearly, the team still takes 2020’s failure seriously, and it hopes that future titles will win back some of the lost trust.

Why it matters: Fans will be glad to see that CDPR isn’t taking its current position for granted. The team is aware that it disappointed fans in 2020.

Speaking to Eurogamer, CDPR discussed the events leading up to the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 and the disaster that followed.

While these events have been well-documented, the latest interview shares an in-depth perspective from various developers. According to Pawel Sasko, the RPG was developed in around 4.5 years, and this rapid production cycle didn’t do the studio any favors.

Despite everything that transpired over the last few years, Pawel Sasko hopes to see fans acknowledge the studio’s efforts. He states that many incredible experiences from the team are on the way, including the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, which he is leading.

I hope that, throughout the work we are doing, we can actually win some of those people.

In particular, the director pointed to upcoming projects like The Witcher 4 and CDPR’s new IP, Project Hadar. All of these games are said to be highly ambitious, with The Witcher 4 set to raise the bar for RPGs.

it can be argued that Phantom Liberty redeemed CDPR, but the team appears to disagree. Multiple developers at the studio are still focused on making amends after accepting everything that has happened recently.

The team is currently focused on The Witcher 4. With production nearly in full swing, a switch to Unreal Engine 5, and more, this RPG is shaping up to be a worthy addition to CDPR’s exciting lineup.
