Witcher developer CD Projekt Red will open a new studio in Poland in the historic city of Kraków next month, where it will make one of two new smaller games approximately 20-hours in length.

"This July we will open an office in Kraków," said CDPR managing director Adam Badowski in a statement to Eurogamer.

"As we informed in our strategy outlook some time ago, aside from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077, the Studio aims to develop two smaller (approximately 20 hours of gameplay) premium quality titles.

"Consisting of 20 people, the core team in Kraków will be responsible for developing one of these games."

CD Projekt Red has talked a bit about its plans beyond The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 before. It seems most likely this new game developed by CD Projekt Red Kraków was the game referred to as "AA" back in February 2012. "AA" status refers to "big games with good scores" that take around two-years to make. That "AA" game was forecast for 2013 - a date that could have since shifted.

CD Projekt Red HQ, where The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are being made, is in Warsaw - 180 miles away from Kraków.

Remember, DRM free encourages piracy and kills devs!
Also, Being consumer friendly is a horrible thing.

everytime i read something about cd projekt red i tend to get a weird fuzzy feeling
and then a profound wish that more developers and publishers were like them

It's still a business, and I know they play the right notes for PR reasons, but I don't really care. That's a company I want to support. One that can look out for and help me, and in return I can support fully.

^ agreed
i know they play the right notes but i cant help wanting to support them
especially because of gog

as i said more developers and publishers shoud be like cd projekt red who are actually *gasp* consumer friendly !

Speaking of CD Projekt Red, a while back I read and was glad to hear The Witcher 3 would also be coming to PS4.
Probably a good thing for the developers as well who would now at least be able to play the console version of their game in their own country. :p
