CD Projekt says it's not actually working on multiple Cyberpunk games

Google Translate does it again.

CD Projekt says that despite what you may have read today on the internet, it is not currently working on multiple Cyberpunk games.

The report emerged from Polish site Bankier.pl, which quoted CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński as saying, "We're working on three Cyberpunk things—over the main game and over two more." But the quote came via Google Translate, and as you can see things were a little bit mangled coming out the other end, which led to confusion.

"We currently have a total of five teams working on a number of projects, with three focusing on the development of Cyberpunk 2077. These include CD Projekt Red Warsaw and Kraków, who are handling the main game, as well as the Wrocław studio, where around 40 industry specialists are engaged in technology R&D," a CD Projekt rep said in an email.

"A separate, dedicated team at the Warsaw studio is handling the development of Gwent. The final team is Spokko, which is currently working on a yet unannounced mobile project."

Can confirm. They just reached out to me as well with the same clarification.

Why did they reach out to you?

Why did they reach out to you?

Because I'm the News Editor of a website.

Incidentally, PC Gamer is incorrect in mentioning that it's an issue with translation or google translate. The original Polish article does mention three projects, so I guess it's a misunderstanding on Bankier's side.

Yea that’s good news. The original rumors made me sour on the game a bit. Don’t come at us like your shit don’t stink and that will be a massive success... one thing at a time.

They've stated multiple times before of following the "Rockstar model" of development, which involves creating the most immersive and engaging games for consumers.

...

And that doesn’t come off as the most generic blanket statement that every developer should be saying?

Most developers don't have the courtesy to tell consumers it's rain when they're pissing on them. Considering CD Projekt's reputation and track record, I'd be rooting for them in contrast to other AAA studios.
