The team's size is expected to reach over 400 members by mid-2024. This project, which entered pre-production in May 2022, will utilize Unreal Engine 5, marking a new technological venture for CD Projekt Red.
到2024年中期，該團隊的規模預計將達到400多人。該項目於2022年5月進入預製階段，將使用虛幻引擎5，這標誌着CD Projekt Red的一項新技術冒險。
Another Witcher-based game, codenamed "Sirius," is in progress at The Molasses Flood, aiming for a mix of single-player story elements and multiplayer components distinct from the open-world RPG style of The Witcher series.
另一款代號爲 “天狼星” 的巫師遊戲正在The Molasses Flood上線，旨在將單人故事元素和與《巫師》系列開放世界RPG風格截然不同的多人遊戲元素混合在一起。
Additionally, "Canis Majoris," a separate AAA Witcher RPG under CD Projekt Red's publishing, is in the works with a different development team, and it's expected to follow Polaris but remains at least three years away from release.
此外，CD Projekt Red發行的另一款AAA Witcher RPG遊戲《Canis Majoris》正在與另一個開發團隊合作開發，預計將效仿北極星，但距離發行還有至少三年的時間。
Furthermore, plans for a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, named "Orion," were confirmed in October 2022. However, active development is pending an expansion of the team, particularly with CD Projekt Red North America leading the project.
此外，名爲《獵戶座》的《賽博朋克2077》續集的計劃已於2022年10月得到確認。但是，積極的開發尚待團隊的擴大，特別是在CD Projekt Red North America領導該項目的情況下。

除了這些已知的遊戲外，CD Projekt Red還開始開發他們的第一個名爲 “Hadar” 的原創IP，儘管有關其內容的細節仍然很少。
While Polaris and its associated technological advancements hint at a release in around three years, CD Projekt Red acknowledges the complex nature of simultaneously creating new games and innovative technology.
儘管北極星及其相關的技術進步暗示將在大約三年後發佈，但CD Projekt Red承認同時創作新遊戲和創新技術的複雜性。
This suggests a potential development period extending beyond the projected timeline, possibly to four or five years, as the studio navigates these uncharted territories within Unreal Engine 5.
這表明，隨着工作室在虛幻引擎5中探索這些未知領域，開發期可能會超過預計的時間表，可能延續到四到五年。
