The \u201cworld vision\u201d stage for its new IP, Project Hadar, has been completed and work has officially begun on turning those concepts into a video game.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;This has been our biggest undertaking to date, taking us several years, but at this point we can say we have a coherent vision for this world and its key elements,\u201d said Joint CEO Micha\u0142 Nowakowski. \u201cThe team has begun work on the game, although it&#8217;s not yet in pre-production.\u201d <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In September, CD Projekt Red said it was staffing up for Project Hadar, with a team over 30 strong with plans &#8220;to hire more, up to 50 developers by the end of this year. But what is it? In June, a new job advert teased what to expect, calling for an engineering director who would help \u201cpush the envelope for the next, immersive game in the Hadar world, creating an emotional, open-world experience that will stay with gamers.\u201d Open-world confirmed!<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Every CD Projekt Red Game In Development<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/cd-projekt-has-officially-begun-work-on-project-hadar-but-its-not-in-pre-production-yet.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">CD Projekt Red is of course currently hard at work making The Witcher 4, which is the next game on the studio\u2019s slate due out 2028. Before that, though, a third major expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, titled Songs of the Past, is scheduled for release next year. Developed by Fool\u2019s Theory, a team of former CD Projekt developers, the expansion aims to bridge the gap between The Witcher 3 and the next game in the series, starring Geralt\u2019s adopted daughter, Ciri.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">After that comes Cyberpunk 2, the follow-up to Cyberpunk 2077. And let&#8217;s not forget that CD Projekt intends to release the new The Witcher 3 trilogy in the space of six years. Assuming CD Projekt hits 2028 for The Witcher 4, and the company sticks to its ambitious release strategy for this new The Witcher trilogy, we could see The Witcher 5 in 2031 and The Witcher 6 in 2034. Where Hadar fits in with all that is anyone&#8217;s guess.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We know nothing about Project Hadar\u2019s world or setting, but it\u2019ll be cool to see what the wonderful minds at CDPR think up \u2014 especially as it\u2019ll be designed first and foremost to support a sprawling RPG. I do selfishly wish CDPR would do one more license though. Give us a good Game of Thrones video game. Please. You could call it Project Hodor. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The next series of the anime based on CDPR and Pondsmith\u2019s shared world is coming to Netflix on October 20. You can check out our interview with the creator of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 for the lowdown. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Elsewhere in CD Project Land, The Witcher 3 just got a remaster on consoles and PC, which saw the iconic RPG get a makeover to tide people over until the expansion. There were some issues with the new visuals, particularly heavy bloom in The Witcher 3 remaster, but CDPR fixed its prized goose sharpish.<\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kirk McKeand Avatar\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/cd-projekt-has-officially-begun-work-on-project-hadar-but-its-not-in-pre-production-yet.jpg\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Kirk McKeand is a Contributor on IGN News.
