In December 2020, the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077 led CD Projekt Red to make significant changes in their development approach, according to senior quest designer Paweł Sasko. The negative reception of the base game was turned around with the success of the Phantom Liberty DLC. CDPR has since shifted focus to their next major project, The Witcher’s upcoming episode codenamed Polaris, learning valuable lessons from the Cyberpunk 2077 journey that will likely influence their future development strategies.
