Not only has the game now sold incredibly well, butCD Projekt Red recently become the most valuable developer in Europe. This is very impressive considering the team doesn’t create many games, as the team hasn’t made a major game since 2015’sThe Witcher 3. And in general, the only major games the team has made so far isThe Witcherfranchise, with theGwentcard game being a smaller and still successful title.
In many ways, CD Projekt Red is similar to Rockstar Games, the team behindGTAandRed Dead Redemption. The team takes years to create each game, but in the end, the titles are polished and create massive amounts of revenue for the developer, which is why theRockstar Games founders are some of the wealthiest individuals in the UK.
One of the wonders ofThe Witcher 3is thehuge open world, which the developer recently explained. The game continues to open up time and time again, giving the players tons to do and explore, from lush plains to deep forestation to the isles of Skellige. There is so much to do in the game, beyond the incredible and well-told story.
The Witcherseries, without Geralt, is set to continue at some point afterCyberpunk 2077. Although it will be difficult to see the iconic Witcher go, CD Projekt Red has proven that it has was it takes to create an amazing game, and perhaps one that will sell another 50 million or so copies.
