CDPR has shared its Q3 2022 earning report and along with it, it has also revealed its plans for the upcoming games.

The new remake being an open-world will offer a lot of possibilities. The original game wasn’t an open-world title, rather it was a mission-to-mission game where players had nothing to do other than to complete the storyline.

This remake will be made by a third-party studio. As per previous reports, the game will be outsourced to Fool’s Theory, a Polish studio famous for its good piece of work in the past.

Since the original Witcher was limited to PC and Mac, console users didn’t get to enjoy it at that time. Now, that it is being remade, it is expected to arrive on all next-gen consoles including PS5 and Xbox Series S. Other devices like the PS4, Xbox Series X, and even the Nintendo Switch will likely get the game. And of course, it will also be available on PC.

Alongside the remake, CDPR is also working on a new Witcher trilogy which will be made by CDPR itself. Another game codenamed Sirius is also in development by The Molasses Flood.

Apart from this, the earnings report also sheds light on its other projects codenamed Orion and Hadar. Orion will be a new Cyberpunk 2077 successor and Hadar will be a new project as a whole, both developed by CDPR.
