CD Challenge RED introduced to its buyers that an “impairment allowance” had been created for Challenge Sirius, in relation to the bills occurred to this point in its improvement.
Up to now, the worth of the bills for creating Challenge Sirius totaled 33.4 million PLN in 2022, with one other 9.5 million PLN incurred throughout the first two months of 2023.
In its assertion, CD Projekt RED signifies that this resolution “relies on outcomes of analysis of the scope and business potential of the unique idea of Challenge Sirius, and ongoing work on formulating a brand new framework for this challenge.”
That final half, “a brand new framework,” appears to be probably the most telling, because it implies CD Projekt RED is probably restarting improvement on Challenge Sirius, or on the very least re-adjusting the scope of the thought CDPR initially had ultimately.
Challenge Sirius is one in every of a number of introduced but unrevealed Witcher initiatives, that have been all introduced directly, on prime of a model new IP in improvement, and a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel challenge codenamed Orion.
That CD Projekt RED will be capable to efficiently execute and launch all these initiatives in its proposed timeline, when it’s nonetheless coming off a surprising failure to correctly launch one main title that it labored on for greater than a decade, feels questionable on the very least.
Already re-adjusting the scope of one in every of its initiatives lower than six months after it boldly claimed a timeline involving 5 whole initiatives throughout the approaching decade isn’t precisely shocking, with the debacle that was Cyberpunk 2077 in thoughts.
