CD Projekt Red is developing multiple large-scale projects under Unreal Engine 5, including the new IP Hadar, while preparing the release of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 on Netflix in fall 2026. The company has unified its corporate identity with its development studio through a shareholder-approved name change to CD Projekt Red.
CD Projekt Red has undergone a significant corporate restructuring, culminating in a shareholder vote on June 23, 2026, to change the company name from CD Projekt to CD Projekt Red. The change, which takes effect after court registration, formalizes the company's shift from publishing to development, following the dissolution of its publishing division and the sale of GOG.com. The name change eliminates the traditional distinction between parent company and development studio, simplifying brand communication and recruitment as the group works on several major projects under a single label.
The studio is currently developing multiple large-scale projects under Unreal Engine 5. One of these is the new IP Hadar, announced in 2022 as the company's third pillar. A job listing for an Engineering Director describes Hadar as an 'immersive next-generation game' aiming to deliver 'an emotional open-world experience that stays in players' memories'. The development team currently has 24 members.
