CD Projekt Red has established a clear vision for Project Hadar, its mysterious new IP, after several years of development planning, although the game has yet to enter pre-production.

CD Projekt Red continues expanding its portfolio beyond The Witcher and Cyberpunk, with new updates on two upcoming projects: Project Hadar i Project Sirius.

In an interview with Polish outlet PAP Biznes, CD Projekt co-CEO Michał Nowakowski discussed the progress of both games and the challenges involved in developing entirely new experiences.

Project Hadar Has a Clear Vision but Remains in Early Development

First announced in 2022, Project Hadar represents CD Projekt Red’s first entirely original intellectual property, separate from its established franchises.

According to Nowakowski, the studio has spent several years developing a coherent vision for the game’s world and its key elements.

With that foundation now established, work on the game itself has begun.

However, Project Hadar has not yet entered pre-production, meaning a full reveal or release is likely still some time away.

CD Projekt Red has not announced the game’s setting, genre, platforms or release window.

Project Sirius Development Remains Cautious

Nowakowski also addressed Project Sirius, the upcoming multiplayer-focused game set in Witcher universe.

He explained that adjustments to the development team’s size were partly necessary because the team had expanded beyond what was appropriate for the project’s current iteration stage.

As Sirius represents a different type of game for the studio, CD Projekt Red intends to be particularly careful about revealing its features before they are ready.

Meanwhile, the company continues working on The Witcher 4 and the next Cyberpunk installment.

Neither Project Hadar nor Project Sirius currently has an announced release date.
