There has been no good streak lately. Gone are the days when it was the best-valued company on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The problems were initiated by the game’s failure. Now the company is not able to deliver another large project.

More information from the country
So the premiere of The Witcher 3 was moved again. CD Projekt did not give a specific date this time. Details of the decision are to be disclosed “as soon as possible”.
We have decided to continue the further production of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for the latest generation consoles, based on an in-house development team. We are currently assessing the scope of the work still to be performed and we have decided to postpone the previously planned premiere to the second quarter of this year
– we read in the announcement on the Witcher fanpage.
CD Projekt is delaying the game again
Delays are the industry’s bread and butter. The production of games takes years and it is not easy to estimate how much time is really needed to complete a given production. Meanwhile, publishers are pressing on deadlines that are hard to meet. This often causes the so-called crunch, i.e. prolonged periods of daily overtime work.
In recent years, it has been more and more publicized. He was also accused of crunch before the premiere of Cyberpunk 2077. Despite many overtime hours, the release date was postponed three times, and the released game was full of errors.
The players themselves, however, do not seem to be dissatisfied with the move of The Witcher 3 to nextgens. The message is dominated by comments in which fans assure the development team that there is no rush and that publishers should not put pressure on them. Many people also say that they prefer to wait to get a refined production.
