CD Projekt RED’s Marcin Momot spoke with @MPFirst regarding expansions for The Witcher 3 and how they always aim to offer the most value for money, including the upcoming Songs of the Past expansion🚀 ✅The Witcher 3 expansion pass ($24.99) offered massive value, delivering over 30 hours of gameplay across two acclaimed expansions (Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine). ✅Pricing strategy was driven by ambition during CDPR's first open-world project, a desire to reward player trust, and a commitment to providing genuine value for money. ✅CDPR also provided the next-gen remaster and upgrade to the Complete Edition entirely for free to existing base game owners, granting them free access to both expansions. ✅It remains unconfirmed if future content, such as the newly announced Songs of the Past DLC, will follow this same budget-friendly pricing structure.

CD&R IS PURSUING A BUYOUT OF GLOBAL PAYMENTS IN WHAT WOULD RANK AMONG THE LARGEST BUYOUTS IN HISTORY $GPN shares jumped about 10% on the report that the private equity firm is going after the roughly $40 billion payment processor, per the FT.

CD Projekt marked the 19th anniversary of the original Witcher with a direct tribute to BioWare. The studio said BioWare’s support “turned our vision into Geralt’s first interactive adventure,” citing the Aurora engine loan, shared knowledge, and a spot at BioWare’s E3 booth. Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski had already called BioWare “a massive part of CDPR history” last week after the studio’s closure. The first Witcher shipped in 2007 on that engine. CD Projekt later built its own for The Witcher 2, Wild Hunt, and Cyberpunk 2077. The anniversary post arrives days after EA shut BioWare down. It frames the original game as dependent on that early help, while the studio that provided it is no longer around.

CD Projekt Red has hired so many Cyberpunk 2077 modders that Cyberpunk 2’s associate game director says around half of the quest team are former modders. Pawel Sasko says modding can be a “foot-in-the-door technique” and a “gateway into game dev,” giving talented fans real experience with how games are built. “We actually hired so many modders. I would say, at this point, half of the quest team is all former modders.” Some of the developers working at CD Projekt Red started out making mods as far back as The Witcher 2.

CD Projekt Red loremaster Patrick Mills confirmed Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 takes place in 2078. He said the season happens “not long after” meeting Hanako at Embers in Cyberpunk 2077, adding that “time doesn’t stop in Cyberpunk.” Arasaka has less influence in the anime than it did during the game, which lines up with a post-2077 setting without declaring any single ending canon. The confirmation doesn’t close the door on multiple endings, but it does force the timeline forward past the game’s final choices. The related Edgerunners 2 update for Cyberpunk 2077 drops tomorrow.

CD Projekt Red is streaming the first episode of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 on Twitch before the full series hits Netflix. The episode airs across three slots, starting at 3:01 PM PT today, with selected streamers also co-streaming it. Viewers can unlock exclusive chat badges during the broadcasts. The full 10-episode series arrives on Netflix on October 20. The early Twitch showings give people a free look at the new standalone story ahead of the paid premiere, while the limited windows and badge incentive push live viewership instead of leaving the episode available afterward.

CD Projekt joint CEO Michał Nowakowski says the Cyberpunk 2077 movie with Paramount will not be a direct adaptation of the game. He told PAP Biznes the studio wants a story in the Cyberpunk world, not a one-to-one translation of the game’s plot. The prior deal with Anonymous Content expired, so CD Projekt is now working with Paramount under a new approach. This follows the same path the company took with Edgerunners, which used Night City for an original story instead of retelling the game. Ruling out a straight adaptation early gives the studio room to expand the universe rather than recreate V’s story on screen.
