Witcher developer’s new IP is “definitely NOT a cosmic horror in feudal Japan”, in case you were wondering

Bad news, fans of interesting things, it looks like the mysterious new IP in the works at The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 studio CD Projekt isn’t a cosmic horror game set in feudal Japan. It’s a very specific option to rule out, but that’s what co-CEO Michał Nowakowski has done.

While there’s been some buzz around Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel – codenamed Project Orion – recently, thanks to CD Projekt officially acknowledging that development has kicked off for it and sharing news of some additions to the team working on it, things have remained quite quiet on the Project Hadar front. Now, though, we’ve had an update on what the game won’t be, just in case you were hyped up for one very specific idea.

In response to some fan speculation about what Hadar might involve – via a tweet that happened to mention cosmic horror and feudal Japan as separate ideas – CD Projekt Michał Nowakowski has shot down the idea of it being those two things welded together in some fashion. “ can only tell [you] it’s definitely NOT a cosmic horror in feudal Japan ;),” he said, adding: “Time will come, we will spill the beans. Worry not.”
