In an update for investors, CD Projekt Red today outlined their "long-term product outlook."

That includes a new trilogy of The Witcher RPGs, a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, and a brand new IP being developed by CD Projekt Red, plus two further games in The Witcher universe being created by third-party studios.

CDPR released details of the projects in a Twitter thread.

The other Witcher projects include Project Sirius, which is described as "an innovative take on The Witcher universe telling an unforgettable story for existing Witcher fans and new audiences." The project is in pre-production and being developed by The Molasses Flood, the developers of Flame In The Flood, which CDPR acquired last year. 60+ developers are currently working on the project.
