CD Projekt to announce new games

One of Poland’s most successful computer-game developers has announced that it plans to increase its investment in new game development, according to a report in the Polish press on Wednesday. The report also revealed that the company has spent PLN 41 million thus far in 2016 on developing new games, including an update to its popular Witcher series. In the coming months, we will be testing and fine-tuning individual elements of our new game. “We want high quality…(and to) attract and encourage players from around the world to play the next batch of games,” the company’s president, Michał Kiciński was quoted in the news release. A report late on Wednesday in Gamenguide, however, indicated that the company may be under threat of a takeover, which could affect the extent and focus of game development. A conclusive announcement, in which shareholder concerns are expected to be addressed is expected on November 29 at the company’s shareholder meeting. The fledgling company was started in 1994 by Marcin Iwiński and Michał Kiciński and has become well-known for highly successful games such as "Gwent," "Cyberpunk 2077," and "Witcher 3: Wild Hunt." It had revenues of PLN 798 million in 2015.
