CD Projekt RED has begun the process of transitioning members of the development team from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt RED co-founder Marcin Iwinski told IGN.
“The core team is working The Witcher 3′s expansions, but more and more people are moving over onto Cyberpunk,” Iwinski said.
The aforementioned expansions to which Iwinski is referring are the 10-hour Hearts of Stone expansion, slated for this October, and the 20-hour Blood and Wine, slated for the first quarter of 2016. This falls in line with CD Projekt RED CEO Adam Kicinski’s statement that 2015 and 2016 are “the years of The Witcher.”
Iwinski had no new information to share on Cyberpunk 2077 or when the developer is expecting to release the game, but, citing Bethesda’s announcement of Fallout 4, Iwinski said he would like to do something similar for Cyberpunk 2077.
"We're impressed with Fallout 4's rollout,” Iwinski said. “They came on stage and said 'It's here, it's real, and it's coming out on this date.' We're going to do something similar. We're going to wait [to reveal the game] until we can show off a very meaningful piece of it."
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released last month and sold four million copies in two weeks on the market.
