CD Projekt RED
CD Projekt RED, author of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher, has officially opened the new development studio in Canada, precisely in Vancouver. As you can see below in the company's tweet, the team will simply be called CD Projekt RED Vancouver.This is not really a surprise. In March 2021, CD Projekt RED had acquired Digital Scapes: a company that worked with the Polish company for three years, also assisting in the development of Cyberpunk 2077. Today, July 8, 2021, the agreement between the two companies was closed. Digital Scapes thus became the basis of the new CD Projekt Vancouver team.
At the helm of CD Projekt Vancouver will be Marcin Chudy who said: "Being Polish and Canadian, I find it extremely satisfying to build a bridge between the Polish and Canadian game development industries. This is a great opportunity for developers. to get involved in CD Projekt Red's incredible IPs and for CD Projekt Red to tap into Canada's deep pool of talent and game-making skills. "
We hope this expansion of CD Projekt RED's manufacturing force is conducive to supporting Cyberpunk 2077. We already know that the sci-fi game is about to receive the biggest update ever and "more things will come".
