Cyberpunk 2077 Interview

Following their conversation regarding the recent announcement that The Witcher would be getting its own comic book series, Polygon went on to chat with CD Projekt RED’s Rafal Jaki about the possibility of pursuing such endeavors for Cyberpunk 2077 as well. An excerpt:

Under the deal cut with Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith, CD Projekt Red has the rights to pretty much everything but the role-playing game books.

“Mike Pondsmith is retaining the right to his books and that kind of thing, because that’s his baby, his legacy for twenty more years,” Jaki said. “He knows that market very well. But anything else created, that’s us.”

While they have the ability to sign a Cyberpunk deal, Jaki said their focus is entirely on what they already have planned.

“Right now we are focusing all of our efforts on The Witcher and I think that’s not bad because we love the world and we think it’s worth the attention,” he said. “But after the premiere of Witcher 3 there are several possibilities that we could explore.

“We are talking and we don’t know. That’s the truth, we are just talking creatively within the studio. We have two huge AAA titles in development right now. It’s so time consuming on our part that we really need to focus on polishing the actual games and then can pick up the conversation on what’s going to be next.”
