CD Projekt Red revealed updates on its development pipeline as part of its latest financial report, announcing plans to launch an unannounced game project in the near future.
The company stated that 2026 is focused on accelerating development of several ongoing projects, including function on The Witcher 4, which will serve as the first installment in a new trilogy set within the franchise’s universe.
Another key initiative is Project Hadar, a new intellectual property developed internally. CD Projekt Red emphasized that Hadar represents a long-term strategy to create original franchises alongside its established successes. This move underscores the company’s ambition to diversify its portfolio and build new worlds for players to explore.
Looking ahead, CD Projekt Red outlined its priorities for the coming quarters:
-
Advancing the development of current projects
-
Expanding internal teams to support multiple productions
-
Launching a game project that has not yet been announced
“In the upcoming quarters, the studio will primarily focus on advancing the development of ongoing projects; we also plan to publish one of the previously unannounced game projects,” the report stated.
While details regarding the mystery project remain scarce, its mention suggests a new release may be closer than previously anticipated. The gaming industry is closely watching CD Projekt Red’s next move, given its track record of delivering immersive and critically acclaimed RPG experiences.
Rumors Point to Potential The Witcher 3 DLC
Despite the company not confirming the identity of the unannounced project, earlier reports offer potential clues.
Industry analysts have speculated that CD Projekt Red could release new downloadable content for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Reports indicate the DLC could arrive this year, potentially targeting a third-quarter launch – around September – to avoid direct competition with the highly anticipated GTA VI.
According to the rumors, the expansion would serve as a narrative bridge between The Witcher 3 and The Witcher 4. If confirmed, this would be the third major content addition to the game, following the widely praised Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions.
