CD PROJEKT RED’s H1 2026 wrap — the studio skipped a standalone Q2 report and filed the half-year package instead — puts Group revenue at 435 million PLN (+23% YoY) and consolidated net profit at 249 million PLN (+37%), with net profitability at 57.2%. A Bloomberg wire carried by CNBC-TV18 attributes a 53% YoY jump in Q2 R&D to more than PLN 200 million in that quarter as headcount swelled.
Studio staffing at end-July 2026 reached 1,045 developers across active projects. The largest block — 519 — sits on The Witcher 4 (Ciri as planned protagonist), with the planned-target window still 2028 and unchanged in this package. This draft does not invent a Ciri delay, a firm day inside 2028, or any slip past that planned window.
The Witcher publishing ladder is three successive years. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered locks September 29, 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and native Switch 2, including Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, and is a free download for qualifying owners of the base game — not a paid upsell for existing owners. Songs of the Past, the Fool’s Theory-collaborative Geralt expansion, is dated 2027 only (no firmer day here). Witcher 4 remains the 2028 planned target, keeping one large Witcher-themed release per year on the company’s stated path.
Cyberpunk lifecycle notes in the same H1 wrap — 40M+ base copies, Phantom Liberty at 15M, Edgerunners 2 on Netflix October 20 — sit beside licensing growth that helped the half. For adjacent big-calendar RPG context already live on RCG.news, see our report that FF7 Revelation’s physical edition still needs a download.
Bottom line: H1 revenue 435m PLN and net 249m PLN, Q2 development spend just over PLN 200m with Bloomberg’s +53% R&D read, 1,045 developers end-July with 519 on Witcher 4, Remastered free for qualifying owners on September 29, Songs of the Past in 2027, and Witcher 4’s planned 2028 target unchanged — no invented Ciri delay and no firmer Songs day than 2027.
