What Do We Know About Project Hadar?
Project Hadar was first mentioned during an investor presentation in 2022. Since then, the studio has kept details under wraps, with only a few hints about what to expect. According to Michał Nowakowski, CD Projekt’s Senior Vice President of Business Development, the game will be an RPG, staying true to the studio’s signature style.
“We don’t have any specific dates for when pre-production will start on the project. We’re still in the setting-building phase, and that’s the part where the core team is. However, in terms of genre, we make certain types of games, and I think it’s safe to assume that we want to continue making games within that genre, so you can imagine what kind of game to expect.”
While exact gameplay mechanics, setting, or story details remain unknown, it’s evident that Project Hadar is still in early development, with the team currently focused on world-building and foundational design.
What’s Next for CD Projekt RED?
While Project Hadar remains a mystery, CD Projekt RED is actively developing The Witcher 4, which was officially announced during The Game Awards in December 2024. The studio has also expressed its long-term commitment to expanding the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, following the success of its Phantom Liberty expansion.
With multiple ambitious projects in the pipeline, CD Projekt RED is gearing up for another exciting chapter in its legacy. Aspiring developers eager to work on Project Hadar or other upcoming titles should keep an eye on the studio’s official job postings for new opportunities.
As more details about Project Hadar emerge, fans can expect further updates from CD Projekt RED in the coming months. Until then, speculation and excitement continue to grow for what could be the studio’s next big RPG adventure.
