CD Projekt Red co-CEO Michał Nowakowski says the studio still has work to do to fully regain players’ trust after Cyberpunk 2077’s disastrous launch.
“I’m not 100% convinced we went through the full redemption arc,” he admitted that some fans are still put off by the game’s broken debut despite years of updates and the success of Phantom Liberty.
He said the team hopes The Witcher 4 can help change that. “I hope with The Witcher 4 we’ll be able to convince those people and prove through our actions that we’ve changed.”
Cyberpunk 2077 launched in 2020 with major problems, especially on last-gen consoles which were completely broken, and a lot of people refunded it.
Since then, CD Projekt Red has spent years improving the game.
