The Polish study is growing financially and is now one of the main powers of the industry. His greatest work has been The Witcher 3.
CD Projekt has become the second largest video game company in Europe, only behind Ubisoft, in terms of market value. The Polish company, which has been operating since 1994 in Warsaw and other parts of Poland, has CD Projekt RED and GOG as its main economic assets, a shareholding value that has allowed the company to accumulate a value of 8 billion dollars.
As Eurogamer collects, only one month ago that value was estimated at 6800 million dollars; however, the launch of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch and, above all, the premiere of the first season of The Witcher on Netflix – which remains months later the most famous series of the platform and the world streaming, over The Mandalorian—, have made CD Projekt significantly increase its financial value as a company.
Ubisoft, led by Yves Guillemot, continues first with a value of 9600 million dollars today.
The next big challenge of CD Projekt is called Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most anticipated video games of the present generation of consoles. Despite the initial plan to launch this April, finally its departure will occur this September on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Second season of The Witcher on Netflix for 2021
The information has emerged only a few days after we learned that CD Projekt RED will now receive 80% for direct sales of The Witcher 3 on Steam, as this last quarter has exceeded 50 million dollars in revenue. According to Steam's sales policy, any game that exceeds that barrier will go from 75% to 80% in revenue for the developer.
With regard to the second season of the series of The Witcher on Netflix, for now we have few details, but if everything goes well it will premiere sometime in 2021 on Netflix. His filming has already begun and will feature a Game of Thrones actor.
