Yesterday, CD Projekt RED published their financial report for the first quarter of 2019. The company provided a brief video recap with CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Piotr Nielubowicz, who also shared an update on the development of Cyberpunk 2077.
The development of our next flagship game – Cyberpunk 2077 - is proceeding at full speed, with over 400 people currently involved in the project. In the first quarter, the Group spent 25 million PLN on development of new videogames and technologies for a cumulative balance of Research & Development expenditures of 264 million PLN.
The most important E3 fair in the Group’s history is upon us. We have a truly exciting line-up and cannot wait to present it! For the first time in our history, we will also be showcasing Cyberpunk 2077 at our public stand.
As June is shaping up to be a very exciting month, I invite you to participate in this event, and also to follow our activities on social media and on cdprojekt.com.
Interestingly, he said that next month will be 'very exciting' with E3 2019 set to be the company's most important ever. This will inevitably fuel speculation of a Cyberpunk 2077 release date announcement coming during the Los Angeles fair, where a new hour-long demo will be showcased to the press (Wccftech included).
Furthermore, Nielubowicz referred to a 'line-up' of products due to be presented. Perhaps there's a new GWENT game similar to Thronebreaker coming up, though there is also the chance he was referring to something bigger such as the other triple-A roleplaying game they have scheduled to release by 2021.
We'll know soon enough, anyway. Until then, stay tuned!
