All of that is reportedly a part of a course of to refining the form of CDPR’s groups. “What we imply by that's having groups which are constructed round our tasks’ wants; groups which are extra agile and more practical,” Kiciński says.
These large adjustments are coming amidst ongoing improvement of CDPR’s many upcoming video games. New titles in The Witcher sequence had been introduced final yr. However the studio can also be engaged on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, and its Phantom Liberty growth which releases in late September. So little question the studio’s groups are busy.
