CD Projekt Red New Game Details Revealed by Job Listing

by

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been eagerly keeping tabs on CD Projekt Red ever since the turbulent launch of Cyberpunk 2077 back in 2020. Fast-forward to today, and it seems that the hard work they’ve put into patches and updates, culminating in the highly acclaimed Phantom Liberty DLC in 2023, has really won back the hearts of gamers worldwide. Now, I can hardly contain my excitement as CD Projekt Red unveils some tantalizing details about their new project, codenamed Project Hadar, and its combat system!

Right now, CD Projekt Red is keeping quite busy with projects following the release of Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty. For the first time, they unveiled The Witcher 4 at The Game Awards in December, offering fans a peek into the world of The Witcher for almost a decade since the final DLC of The Witcher 3 in 2016. A lengthy tech demo showcasing the game utilizing Unreal Engine 5 was later presented during the State of Unreal event last month, leaving fans amazed by its stunning visuals. Furthermore, CD Projekt Red is also working on a sequel for Cyberpunk 2077, although The Witcher 4 appears to be closer in development.

Apart from the anticipated sequels to “The Witcher 4” and “Cyberpunk”, CD Projekt is also working on a third AAA game, codenamed Project Hadar. This new intellectual property has been in development for several years, but details about it are scarce. Recently, a job listing by CD Projekt Red has provided a small glimpse into the game. They are seeking a Senior Gameplay Designer, and according to the job description, candidates with experience in designing RPG/Action titles that feature melee combat would be ideal for this role.

CD Projekt Red’s Project Hadar Will Focus On Melee Combat

CD Projekt Red is typically recognized more for its world-building, storytelling, and role-playing game systems rather than its combat. While the Witcher series has always incorporated third-person melee combat, Cyberpunk deviated from melee due to its setting and first-person perspective, emphasizing FPS-style combat. Since CD Projekt Red is adept at third-person melee combat with The Witcher, it’s possible that Project Hadar could be a first-person game. However, the specific setting of Project Hadar is still unknown, but its emphasis on melee combat may imply that it won’t follow the futuristic sci-fi genre like Cyberpunk.

It’s expected that The Witcher 4 will take several more years to arrive, and it seems like the Cyberpunk sequel might come out after that. This implies that we may not get any official updates or sneak peeks of Project Hadar for a while, but there’s a possibility it could be launched even before the Cyberpunk sequel. CD Projekt Red often unveils their games early, but fans shouldn’t anticipate receiving any solid details about Hadar in the near future.
