Witcher 3 Developers Are Working On A New Multiplayer Game With Ninjas
screenrant.comA group of former Witcher 3 developers have started their own studio called Dark Passenger and are now working on a new multiplayer game with ninjas. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, originally released on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One back in 2015, has remained a widely popular title among gamers. The success of The Witcher 3 led to a slew of spin-offs and even a Netflix live-action TV series. Just last month, a new expansion for Witcher 3’s digital collectible card game spin-off called Gwent: Rogue Mage was released.
However, while The Witcher 3 significantly bolstered the success and popularity of its publisher and developer CD Projekt Red, the studio’s next new major title had the opposite effect. After years of massive anticipation and excitement, Cyberpunk 2077’s launch in December 2020 was considered a disaster. Even after multiple delays, the game was released with a significant number of technical and performance issues, the latter particularly affecting the game’s PS4 and Xbox One versions. The game’s problems led Sony and Microsoft to issue refunds, with the former even removing the game from the PlayStation Store for a time. More than a year after its launch, the game is now in a much better place and a Cyberpunk 2077 expansion was confirmed for 2023 by CD Projekt Red.
