CD Challenge RED introduced to its buyers that an “impairment allowance” had been created for Challenge Sirius, in relation to the bills occurred thus far in its improvement.
Thus far, the worth of the bills for growing Challenge Sirius totaled 33.4 million PLN in 2022, with one other 9.5 million PLN incurred in the course of the first two months of 2023.
In its assertion, CD Projekt RED signifies that this determination “is predicated on outcomes of analysis of the scope and industrial potential of the unique idea of Challenge Sirius, and ongoing work on formulating a brand new framework for this mission.”
That final half, “a brand new framework,” appears to be probably the most telling, because it implies CD Projekt RED is probably restarting improvement on Challenge Sirius, or on the very least re-adjusting the scope of the concept CDPR initially had not directly.
Challenge Sirius is one in all a number of introduced but unrevealed Witcher tasks, that had been all introduced without delay, on prime of a model new IP in improvement, and a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel mission codenamed Orion.
That CD Projekt RED will have the ability to efficiently execute and launch all these tasks in its proposed timeline, when it’s nonetheless coming off a shocking failure to correctly launch one main title that it labored on for greater than a decade, feels questionable on the very least.
Already re-adjusting the scope of one in all its tasks lower than six months after it boldly claimed a timeline involving 5 complete tasks throughout the approaching decade isn’t precisely stunning, with the debacle that was Cyberpunk 2077 in thoughts.
