160 devs working on Cyberpunk 2077 first expansion, as CD Projekt redirects staff to other projects

Besides its financial results for the first half of 2021, CD Projekt has also revealed how many developers continue to work on Cyberpunk 2077. The studio still wants to regain players’ trust.

The company shared this information in its latest financial report and during the earnings call with investors.

Around 160 developers are now developing the first expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 (via Seeking Alpha). A large portion of the team is still working on the game’s support and its next-gen version. However, there are now almost 70 people involved in other unannounced projects.

CD Projekt is also committed to working on Cyberpunk 2077 for as long as it’s necessary. “Our ultimate goal is to deliver on the promise we made to gamers and regain their trust,” CEO Adam Kicinski said. “We are fully committed to ensuring Cyberpunk lives up to its full potential and becomes a long-term success.”

The company still wants to release the next-gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 in “late 2021”. However, CD Projekt refused to reveal any dates, as it still keeps in mind the lessons it learned last year. “We cannot be absolutely certain that the release schedule will not change, but for the time being, we definitely are aiming with both titles for the late 2021,” SVP business development Michal Nowakowski said.
