CD Projekt Red Expands Team for Mysterious New IP Project Hadar
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
CD Projekt Red is expanding the development team for its mysterious new IP, Project Hadar, while juggling a massive slate of upcoming projects including The Witcher 4.
CD Projekt Red is quietly building momentum for its next major universe, confirming during a recent earnings call that Project Hadar has grown to a team of over 30 developers with plans to reach 50 by the end of the year. According to IGN South Africa, the studio's vice president of investor relations Karolina Gnas noted that the team is currently deep in the concept phase, focusing on prototyping gameplay elements and testing out different core ideas for the completely new IP.
While the studio keeps its cards close to its chest regarding what Project Hadar actually is, expectations remain high for another ambitious RPG following the massive success of The Witcher series and the redemption arc of Cyberpunk 2077. At the same time, CDPR is balancing a sprawling development slate, which includes shifting resources toward The Witcher 4 with a targeted 2028 release, alongside ongoing support and new content for existing fan favorites.
For players invested in what is next for high-budget single-player experiences, Project Hadar represents an intriguing blank slate from a studio known for rich storytelling and massive worlds. As development scales up over the coming months, the community will be watching closely to see how CDPR applies lessons learned from past launches to brand new creative territory.
