CD Projekt joint-CEO says it's "fair" that the studio "lost the faith" of some of its audience after Cyberpunk 2077 launch

CD Projekt joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski acknowledged that the troubled launch of Cyberpunk 2077 caused the studio to permanently lose the trust of some players, calling it a 'fair' outcome. He expressed hope that The Witcher 4 or future projects will help win back audiences. Nowakowski also noted that surviving the difficult post-launch period left the studio with stronger, more experienced leadership. He discussed CD Projekt's transition from its proprietary Red Engine to Unreal Engine 5, noting that Epic granted them unique access to the engine's internals, enabling co-development of the technology.
