CD Projekt Aims to Rebuild Trust with Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2

CD Projekt is determined to regain player trust after the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski and associate game director Paweł Sasko acknowledged that some perceptions of the company may be irreparable, but they remain hopeful that upcoming projects like The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2077's sequel will reignite excitement among skeptical fans. They emphasized that rather than trying to convince players through words, their focus is on demonstrating the quality of future games to win back confidence.

While CD Projekt acknowledges the damage done, they believe that showing tangible improvements and delivering high-quality future games can help regain trust over time. Players who have enjoyed the Phantom Liberty expansion may be an example of this potential recovery.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world RPG that was released in 2020. The game faced significant backlash due to numerous bugs and performance issues, particularly on last-gen consoles. CD Projekt has since worked diligently to rectify these issues and released expansions like Phantom Liberty, aiming to reshape its narrative and relationship with the gaming community. Meanwhile, The Witcher series is well-known for its immersive storytelling and expansive worlds, which has built a dedicated following, allowing CD Projekt to bank on its rich legacy as it moves forward.
