CD Projekt Red Expands Horizon With New IP Project Hadar and Witcher 3 Expansion
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
CD Projekt Red is developing a brand new IP called Project Hadar while simultaneously working on The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2. Additionally, the studio announced a brand new expansion for The Witcher 3 called Songs of the Past to bridge the narrative gap toward the upcoming sequel.
CD Projekt Red is busier than ever, proving that the studio has plenty of ambitions beyond its marquee franchises. Alongside the heavy lifting currently underway on both The Witcher 4 and the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, new details have emerged regarding Project Hadar, a mysterious completely new intellectual property currently taking shape at the studio. For players tracking the long term roadmap of major RPG developers, this fresh IP signals that the team is ready to branch out into uncharted territory once again.
At the same time, the studio is giving returning fans a reason to fire up the Continental landscape once more. CD Projekt Red officially announced a brand new expansion for The Witcher 3 titled Songs of the Past. Co-developed alongside Fools Theory, this upcoming release is designed to act as a narrative bridge leading directly into the events of the upcoming fourth main installment. Crucially, the expansion is skipping past-generation hardware entirely, focusing strictly on modern platforms to deliver a seamless experience.
While the confirmation of a new Witcher expansion is certainly welcome news for our community, it also hints that the wait for The Witcher 4 might stretch a bit further out. Positioned as a bridge release to soften the lengthy development timeline, Songs of the Past gives players fresh content to dig into while the core team builds the next generation of open world storytelling.
