CD Projekt working on new IP, multiple multiplatform releases
14
According to a translation of the livestream of CD Projekt's recent Investor's Day, the Polish developer behind The Witcher is working on a brand new IP, along with a whole bunch of other releases over the next few years. The Witcher 2 is still due out on Xbox next year, and then CD Projekt says it's also working on two more "AAA+" titles for 2014 and 2015. Between then and now, the company also hopes to put out three smaller budget titles -- two with a budget/staff grade of "A", and 1 "AA"-sized game.
All of the titles are set up for "multiplatform" release, though which platforms isn't yet clear. But the company says it's still working on developing the RED engine, and since that engine is already designed for PC and Xbox development, we'll guess those two. CD Projekt promises more news on all of these titles soon, and since both "AAA+" titles expect to take 3-5 years to develop, it's a good guess at least one of those is already under development. We'll keep an eye open for more.

Let's see what they can harness and develop for the next-gen of consoles, if they ever come out. It feels like we'll be stuck with the 360/PS3 forever!

I really look forward to these new games. I love Witcher 2. I feel that I was respected from purchasing CD Projekt's products : )

Glad The Witcher 1 & 2 have been doing really well for them in terms of sales & revenue.

@Faenix How many exclusives does the PS3 already have over the 360?

Multiplatform doesn't count if they don't also include PS3.

When these guys say AAA+ you know they mean it. The Witcher 2 was made with such quality and care, no corners were cut like a lot more popular supposedly 'AAA' titles (I'm thinking of Gears 3 when the Brumak gets killed, big cloud of dust then it's lying perfectly still on the ground, and the fact you don't even see the CNV Sovereign in it's entirety!)

I feel like this grading system was invented one day by someone hyping their game. What exactly is A, AA, AAA and AAA+ supposed to mean?
