After making three open-world RPGs, CDPR finally perfected the development formulas of this type of game in "The Witcher 3".Just when they thought they had mastered the "perfect cheats" of RPG development, the disastrous start of "Cyberpunk 2077" gave them a blow.

While Cyberpunk 2077 is now considered one of the greatest games of all time, its status when it was first released was a completely different story.And all this chaos actually laid the foreshadowing as early as the development stage of "The Witcher 3" - the success at that time made CDPR too confident.

In an interview with PC Gamer, CDPR's co-CEO and board member Michał Nowakowski mentioned that the success of "The Witcher 3" has given them unrealistic confidence.

“It (the success of The Witcher 3) gives us confidence…I think that’s where the company started to start a bit ‘magic thinking’ and it wasn’t until Cyberpunk was broken.”

Recalling the version of "The Witcher 3" in February 2015, Nowakowski said that the version was very rough at that time. They even suspected that they could not fix it with the first-day patch, but in the end they successfully solved the problem.

The pace of "The Witcher 3" approaching completion has further aggravated this "fantasy mentality".Nowakowski said they began to feel that "it seems like a magic fairy will suddenly jump out at the last moment and fix everything." It was not until the crushing defeat of Cyberpunk 2077 that they were completely awake.

Compared with the "Witcher" series, "Cyberpunk 2077" was almost completed in an "island-like" development environment, so project integration is extremely difficult.The development of the "Witcher" series is smoother and more concentrated.After the tragic start, CDPR completely broke the development method of "each doing its own business", which also became a major transformation of the company.

Now, the studio is fully committed to developing The Witcher 4 and says it will never make the same mistake again.After all, there is not always a chance to turn the tables like "Cyberpunk 2077".
