The Witcher 4 Can't Be Another Cyberpunk 2077, and CD Projekt Red Knows It

The Witcher 4 is the work of over twice as many CD Projekt staff as The Witcher 3, in a fresh display of how blockbluster team sizes have ballooned
The Witcher 4 is the work of over twice as many CD Projekt developers as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the company's executives have revealed. That's approximately as many people as worked on Cyberpunk 2077, although naturally, the figure excludes a lot of external or infrequent contributors, such as voice actors.
"It was chaos": How The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 are learning from decades of CD Projekt's documentation mistakes
The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 have gotten ample attention for their whizbang Unreal Engine features and potential major cast resurrections, but one of their key 'enhancements' may seem horribly dry: their creation will be much, much better documented than any Witcher or Cyberpunk game before. This also means that they will be a stronger foundation for Witcher and Cyberpunk games to come.

The Witcher Remake is currently on the back burner because progress on it depends on The Witcher 4's development, CD Projekt Red confirm
CD Projekt Red and Fool's Theory might have used Gamescom to make clear that they've got a Witcher thing in the pipeline for this year and the next two, but they've also had to put one of their previously cat-eyed projects on hold for the time being.

CDProjekt Red CEO says Cyberpunk didn’t finish its ‘redemption arc’, hopes The Witcher 4 will win over those who ‘lost faith’
"We lost the faith of some people indefinitely, and that's a fair thing"
CD Projekt Red's CEO still thinks they need to finish their post-Cyberpunk redemption arc, and he's hoping The Witcher 4 will help
I think despite the mess that was the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, it wouldn't be right to say that CD Projekt Red's reputation was completely tarnished. It is still a game with a lot of cultural relevancy, and nobody can shut up about The Witcher 3 to such a degree that it's even getting a brand new expansion more than 10 years after the last one came out. Even still, it doesn't sound like joint CEO Michał Nowakowski is entirely convinced that the studio has managed to complete its redemption arc.
