Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

CD Projekt is very happy about the current pre-orders for the Phantom Liberty expansion in the two months since the campaign was launched. Yet, they expect most pre-orders to come during the final pre-release days. he team working on Phantom Liberty was about 300 people, still the biggest among the developer's teams.

During the Q&A session of the conference call CEO Adam Kiciński mentioned that more and more developers are going to be shifted to Polaris going forward. A big part of the Phantom Liberty team will move over after the expansion launches.

Some developers will move to other projects, while some will keep supporting Phantom Liberty even after it launches.

The studio is also happy about the change to Unreal Engine 5, which is proving to be a good choice.

We also hear that version 2.0 of Cyberpunk 2077, which will launch alongside Phantom Liberty will add to the lifetime value of the Cyberpunk franchise, albeit the effect is intangible and can't easily be quantified.

The QA process on the expansion hasn't been completed just yet, but it's almost completed, while we learn that the decision of not making another expansion is already made and confirmed, regardless of how much Phantom Liberty will sell.

New, as in sequel? Or is this just about that remake of the first game?

Its a sequel, presumably starring Ciri. They contracted the remake of the first game out to a Polish studio called Fool's Theory https://www.thewitcher.com/us/en/news/46225/the-witcher-remake-is-in-development

IIRC the remake is being done by a different studio (?)
