For all the great titles that came out last year, some people, including this writer, still argue that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains the greatest game ever made. For those who can't wait for the sequel, the good news is that the CEO of CD Projekt has confirmed that it will enter its production phase in 2024. What is perhaps less welcome news is that the company has created a team to look at how AI can be used in its development. After Adam Kicinski stepped down as CEO of CD Projekt at the end of 2023, a position he had held since 2010, chief creative officer Badowski and commercial officer Michal Nowakowski became co-CEOs. In an interview with Reuters , Badowski said that the next Witcher game, which was revealed in October 2022 under the code name Polaris , will enter its production phase this year.
The CEO hopes Fax Lists to employ 400 people by the summer, as more of the company's employees move from Cyberpunk 2077 duties to The Witcher 4. It seems that there are few companies on earth, even in North Korea , that are not currently using AI in their products. Badowski said that CD Projekt has created a team to see how the technology can be applied to The Witcher 4, although he suggests that it will be used to improve processes rather than create something that players will notice. such as generated assets. He also insisted that it would not lead to job losses, which is hard to believe. "We think AI is something that can help improve certain processes in game production, but not replace humans," Badowski said. The leader also addressed the horror that was the launch of Cyberpunk 2077.
The Witcher 4 is sure to generate as much buzz as Keanu Reeves' blockbuster, and Badowski wants to make sure it avoids the problems Cyberpunk 2077 has when it arrives. According to him, the company has learned the lessons of the past and now controls the production process better. "We believe that in the future we will avoid the premiere that we faced with Cyberpunk 2077," said Badowski. Speaking of Cyberpunk 2077, those looking forward to its sequel, codenamed Orion, will be in for a long wait. Badowski said the game is still in the conceptual stage, though CD Projekt expects to have about 80 people working on it by the end of the year. Its CEO Novakovski said the game may have multiplayer elements, but wouldn't give details.
