CD Projekt Grows Team Dedicated to Cyberpunk 2077 Expansion; Sales Grow But Profit Drops YoY

Today CD Projekt published its financial results for the third quarter of 2021, and provided more insight on its business and development pipeline.

We hear that, while sales have grown by 38% year-on-year, profit has dropped by 30% due to costs that did not apply last year including the upkeep of Cyberpunk 2077 and higher development costs for new and unannounced games early in development.

We also hear that the next-generation versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are still slated for Q1 and Q2 2022 respectively (following the recent delay)

Last, but not least, the team at work on the “major” expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 has increased in size.

Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
