Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red is not interested in being acquired despite the likes of Xbox and PlayStation actively seeking out studios to purchase.
Adam Kiciński, chief strategy officer of parent company CD Projekt S.A., told Polish outlet Parkiet that the company is happy and healthy as an independent being.
"We are not interested in integrating ourselves into any larger entity," Kiciński said. "Throughout our entire lives we have worked towards the position we currently hold. We believe that in a few years, we will be even bigger and stronger."
CD Projekt Red is certainly getting bigger as an expansion into North America is currently underway. The aptly titled CD Projekt Red North America will include teams at an already established Vancouver studio plus a new Boston-based studio currently being built. These teams will work adjacent to the CD Projekt Red developers in Poland but will focus on the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codenamed Orion, instead of the next mainline Witcher game, codenamed Polaris.
Another studio owned by CD Projekt, perhaps indicating its desire to be an acquirer instead of an acquiree, is The Molasses Flood, which remains independent under the main company as it works on a multiplayer Witcher game codenamed Sirius.
The video game industry has seen somewhat of an acquisitions race take place between titans Xbox and PlayStation, though the former perhaps claimed a win for good when it completed its purchase of Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard in 2023.
