Polish publisher CD Projekt will drop its longtime corporate name and adopt the name of its development studio, CD Projekt Red, following a shareholder vote reported by local economic magazine Bankier.pl. The change takes effect after court registration of the amended articles of association. The company was founded in 1994 as a game distributor and established the CD Projekt Red division in 2002 to develop a game based on The Witcher fantasy novels. The board said unifying the names ensures consistency in global brand communication and is expected to strengthen recruitment. The group is currently developing several large-scale projects on Unreal Engine 5, including a new The Witcher title codenamed Polaris, a major expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt titled Songs of the Past, and a Cyberpunk sequel codenamed Orion.
