A CD Projekt developer onCyberpunk 2077and now Project Hadar has said it “makes sense” for the developer to focus on a new IP.
GamesRadar+ recently spoke to Maria Mazur at Digital Dragons in Poland, and asked the former quest designer on Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion about working on the new IP. It comes as little surprise that Mazur is the most excited about Hadar among CD Projekt’s upcoming titles, which includeThe Witcher 4.
“I was so happy to hear that we are actually going to make our own IP, I feel like it only makes sense given how many kinds of people we have on this, like the storytelling side of things but also our artists,” Mazur said, when asked about CD Projekt’s upcoming slate.
“It feels like a waste not to invest all that into something new or something that comes straight from us. I am very excited about Hadar,” the Phantom Liberty quest designer added. Mazur also pushed back on the rather odd rumor about the Feudal Japan setting for Hadar, cementing that the new IP definitely is not set there.
Elsewhere for CD Projekt, we knowThe Witcher 4 is being “extensively worked on,“but Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel is retaining most of its core development team.
