CD Projekt recently released its financial report for the first quarter of 2022, mainly involving the performance between January 2022 and March 2022. In the presentation, CEO Adam kici ń Ski said that the next generation and 1.5 updates of cyberpunk 2077 were "absolutely positive" in terms of sales and players' perception of the game.
The figure below shows the sales growth before and after the update.
CD Projekt believes that there are many host players who can dig and mobilize, which is also the main plan for the next major update version 2.6 this year, and there will be a planned expansion next year.
In addition, the new "Wizard" game will be developed on the unreal 5 engine. Cdprojekt began to study the project last year and began pre production in the first quarter of this year. At present, more than 100 developers have participated in it, and the studio is "very satisfied" with the project.
With the shift to the unreal 5 engine, cdprojekt said it could feel the improvement of development efficiency. The studio is working with epic to ensure that the engine is properly tuned and scalable, as their strategy is to continue to create a "powerful open worldRPG”。 In addition, cdprojekt also develops its own toolset internally, such as narrative design tools.
Most of the studio's developers are still working on the expansion of cyberpunk 2077, as shown in the figure below.
Referring to the company's financial performance from January to March 2022, both sales and net profit increased year-on-year.
