CD Projekt Red Talks 2022 Projects, The Molasses Flood Working On An Existing IP

CD Projekt Red presented yesterday the end of the fiscal year 2021, highlighting new sales figures for Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher franchises. Included in the slide deck is a full-page summary of what the company is set to work on in 2022, some of which we knew already, but some new information is to be gleaned from it.

These are the items that we know about. Cyberpunk 2077 will see an expansion, which is already in progress. But it won’t be released in Night City before 2023, according to the CDPR tweet account. Also, the Witcher series is getting a new entry and a new engine in Unreal 5, and the studio will continue to work on improving Cyberpunk – no surprises there. CDPR announced earlier this week it will be developing the next-generation version of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt and taking Saber Interactive off of that porting task.

The Molasses Flood’s project was not known. We now have some more information, although we still don’t know everything. According to the earnings call presentation, the newly-acquired Boston-based studio behind The Flame and the Flood is tackling a project within one of CD Projekt’s existing IPs. As more details become available, we’ll be reporting on the game. 

Just like the slides, CDPR will be releasing the remainder of the slide. In January, the company announced that a single-player Gwent spinoff was coming and will still launch this year, while the original stand-alone version of Gwent and the augmented reality mobile Witcher title The Witcher: Monster Slayer will both continue to be supported. CD Project will also be doing “conceptual research and design work for unannounced projects.”

We’re looking forward to learning more about what The Molasses Flood is working on and which CDPR IPs its a part of. What world would that team like to build a game? Leave a comment below with your thoughts!
