Speaking to Reuters , studio chief executive Adam Kicinski explained that while the company sold over 1.5 million copies of The Witcher 3 before release, compared with 1 million and 1.7 million total annual sales of the first and second games, respectively, there's a firm belief Cyberpunk 2077 can do even better."Sales of the third part will be many times higher than with our earlier games. Preorders indicate this," he said. "We broke into the mainstream. It is such a moment in our firm's history that after some years people will look differently at CD Projekt before and after this release."We hope and we are certain that Cyberpunk has even bigger commercial potential. It is too early to talk about it, though. This year, and the next one will be the years of the Witcher." Cyberpunk 2077 was first announced back in October 2012 and an impressive looking teaser trailer was released in January 2013. The game is described as a mature, futuristic sandbox-style, RPG inspired by the Cyberpunk pen-and-paper RPG system created by Mike Pondsmith. Originally announced for PC, CD Projekt Red hinted at Cyberpunk 2077's possible release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One . Cyberpunk 2077 does not have a release date.In case you missed it earlier today, CD Projekt Red is already hard at work releasing free DLC for The Witcher 3 and, with profits from the game already being channeled into two big expansions coming next year , it sounds like there'll be plenty to keep fans occupied.
