CD Projekt is actively developing The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2, with 513 developers on the former and 163 on the latter as of Q1 2026, while also preparing a 10th anniversary broadcast for The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine expansion.
CD Projekt Group released its Q1 2026 financial results, showing revenue up 6% year-on-year. Development spending rose to approximately 57.796 billion yen, driven largely by the two flagship titles. The company reported that 513 developers now work on The Witcher 4 and 163 on Cyberpunk 2, with both teams expanded since February. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has sold over 65 million units, and its new expansion Songs of the Past is set for 2027.
Two days before the financial report, CD Projekt Red announced a special broadcast on May 29 at midnight JST to mark the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine expansion. The stream, on YouTube and Twitch, will feature returning developers Kacper Niepokólczycki and Magdalena Zych. No new announcements are promised, but fan speculation about a rumored new DLC or a Nintendo Switch 2 version is high.
The two stories together show a studio in a transitional period: ramping production on its next-generation projects while also looking back at a decade-old expansion. The headcount figures confirm that The Witcher 4 is receiving the bulk of the studio's workforce, with Cyberpunk 2 a smaller but growing team. The anniversary broadcast revives attention on Blood and Wine at a time when fan communities are reading into the event as a possible signal for unannounced Witcher 3 content.
