CDPR Talks Possibility of Cyberpunk Mobile Game, More Witcher Spin-Offs
CD Projekt Red is actively exploring new mobile game opportunities, the developer has confirmed. This revelation was offered as part of its parent company's latest earnings report, which also saw CD Projekt reveal a 39% increase in full-year 2023 profits, largely driven by the sales of Cyberpunk 2077 and its Phantom Liberty expansion.
The Polish group is no stranger to mobile gaming, with its efforts on this front dating back to The Witcher Adventure Game, whose digital version reached Android and iOS devices in 2014. But the company's track record in the niche has been rather hot-and-cold. Most recently, CDPR has signaled it's pulling away from the smartphone gaming market by ending support for Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and shutting down The Witcher: Monster Slayer after less than two years.

Asked about whether the group has considered the possibility of licensing its intellectual properties to third-party mobile developers, the executive responded affirmatively, as first reported by VGC. «We were pursuing, through conversations, opportunities like that,» Kiciński explained. He noted that CDPR still doesn't have anything of substance to announce on this front, but will «when the time comes.»
