According to the game director, the game studio has had a "really epic" year. The game was developed for more than three and a half years and went on to sell 6 million units in six weeks. It also received seven nominations for the 2015 Game of the Year Awards.
"We launched Wild Hunt, the RPG we've been working on for so long, then we've gone above and beyond to give gamers as many free DLC as we could, and then released Hearts of Stone, which — judging from player feedback — took the game even further. And we innovated all along the way — if you compare Wild Hunt to our previous game, almost every element was improved or changed," says Tomaszkiewicz.
The Hearts of Stone DLC not only provided new developments but also new adventures, complete with tougher enemies, within an added 10 hours of gameplay. Express praised the move to increase the difficulty of the game.
In addition to the DLC, CD Projekt is also working on a new sci-fi game. The game developer's visual effects artist, Jose Teixeira, told MCV the new game is "Cyberpunk 2077," which is by far the biggest title they have ever made. Teixeira, however, remained silent on the release date.
