CD PROJEKT RED, developers of Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher and GWENT, announced that it will open a new division — CD PROJEKT RED Wroclaw. Located in the city of Wroclaw, south-western Poland, the new studio will join forces with CD PROJEKT RED Warsaw and Cracow, and bolster development of Cyberpunk 2077 — the upcoming futuristic AAA role-playing game.

Adam Kicinski, President and Joint CEO, CD PROJEKT Capital Group, said:

“Wroclaw is one of the biggest and most technologically advanced cities in Poland and a playing field for serious creative talent. I think the scope of our current and future projects, as well as the overall package we’re bringing in, will pull in people who were hesitant to move to Warsaw or Cracow. The founding dev team of CDPR Wroc?aw is already pretty stellar, but I still can’t wait to see what talents we’ll discover in new people along the way.”

Consisting of 18 talented industry veterans, Wroclaw-based developer, Strange New Things, will form the core of the new studio.

Pawel Zawodny, head of studio at CD PROJEKT RED Wroclaw, added:

“We’re pretty hyped to be on the spearhead of this new office. We know Wroclaw inside out and it’s an amazing place to make games. The team is strong, and I’m sure we have both the experience and the creative firepower to make Cyberpunk 2077 an even better game.”

Adam Badowski, Game Director for Cyberpunk 2077 and Head of CD PROJEKT RED, concluded:

“Aside from their immense technological knowledge and artistic flair, the core team of CD PROJEKT RED Wroclaw are just great people. CD PROJEKT RED is not a typical game developer — we put gamers, creative freedom and quality games above making business. These guys not only share this approach, but, much like the rest of the team, think that this attitude is essential to creating epic video games.”
