CD Projekt RED, the studio behind Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has revealed it’s not interested in being snapped up by another company, and instead looks to remain completely independent.
Speaking with Parkiet, Adam Kicinski, who departed his role as CEO on January 1, 2024 and is now serving as chief strategy officer, touched base on rumours that the studio is looking to be acquired.
These are just rumors. We have always had a clear position, supported by the regulations included in the statute. We are not interested in being included in any larger entity. We have worked our whole lives to get to the position we have now. And we believe that in a few years we will be even bigger and stronger. We have ambitious plans and we are passionate about what we do. We value our independence.
We do not plan any acquisitions at this time. Of course, we are open to ideas that could accelerate the implementation of our strategy. But we are not interested in purchases that would only aim to include the acquired companies in our group and consolidate their financial results. We don’t see the value in it.
CD Projekt RED is currently working on a number of projects, including a full sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, a remake of The Witcher 3, and the next instalment in The Witcher series.
