CD Projekt Red’s Recent Struggles
CD Projekt Red has had a rough start with its latest game, Cyberpunk 2077. Despite being highly anticipated, the game launched with numerous bugs and performance issues, leading to a lukewarm reception from gamers and critics alike. However, the studio has since made strides to improve the game’s performance and has announced an upcoming major expansion called Phantom Liberty, starring Idris Elba from The Wire.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s success can be attributed to its engaging storyline, memorable characters, and immersive world. The game’s developers have also shown their commitment to their fans by providing regular updates and improvements to the game. While CD Projekt Red may have stumbled with their latest release, it’s clear that they have the potential to create great games, and fans are eagerly looking forward to their future releases.
