CD PROJEKT RED

CD PROJEKT RED is a Warsaw-based developer and publisher of story-driven, open-world role-playing games. Established in 2002 as CD Projekt’s internal game-development division, the studio creates games across European and North American production hubs while coordinating publishing, localization, marketing, public relations and community activity for global audiences.

The studio is best known for its adaptations of Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher works, beginning with The Witcher in 2007 and continuing through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its expansions. Its catalogue also includes GWENT: The Witcher Card Game, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, The Witcher Adventure Game, Cyberpunk 2077, and the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion.

Development and technology

CD PROJEKT RED’s capabilities span full-cycle AAA design and development, narrative design, worldbuilding, open-world game architecture, cinematic direction, motion capture, character animation, 3D art, and game-engine engineering. After historically working with its proprietary REDengine technology, the studio entered a multi-year partnership with Epic Games to adopt and co-develop features for Unreal Engine 5.

Its current development slate includes Project Polaris, the start of a new Witcher saga; Project Orion, the planned sequel to Cyberpunk 2077; Project Sirius, a story-driven multiplayer project set in The Witcher universe; The Witcher Remake; and the original IP codenamed Hadar.

Company context

The listed corporate entity was renamed from CD PROJEKT S.A. to CD PROJEKT RED S.A. on August 10, 2026, aligning its corporate identity with the development brand following the divestment of digital distributor GOG. The company remains active and publicly traded on the Warsaw Stock Exchange as WSE: CDR.
