We have identified about Hadar, CD Projekt Purple’s new franchise, for a number of years now, however it wasn’t till March 2026 the studio “established the foundations” of what it is truly going to be. With solely guarantees and a codename, little is thought about its nature, however one other nugget of information has simply surfaced.
A job advert (hat tip to GamesRadar) for an engineering director for Hadar has popped up on CD Projekt Purple’s personal open positions web page, and it explicitly describes the venture as one other open-world sport: “On this place, along with the remainder of the workforce, you’ll assist push the envelope for the following, immersive sport within the Hadar world, creating an emotional, open-world expertise that can stick with players.”
In fact, that reads like probably the most generic potential description of what a CDPR venture is, and that is the purpose. Hadar remains to be within the early levels of improvement, with solely 26 individuals engaged on the venture on the finish of February this 12 months. There are extra job listings linked to Hadar out there on the time of writing, which suggests the developer is now on the brink of ramp up work on the prototypes and “particular components” that will or might not find yourself within the sport.
“We’re creating a number of prototypes and implementing them straight in Unreal Engine. This enables us to live-test and confirm how chosen mechanics and gameplay components can carry out,” joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski stated again in March.
It is likely to be some time earlier than we hear something about Hadar once more, however thus far, it seems like CDPR will likely be sticking to what it does greatest, no less than on a fundamental degree. For now, we have now a brand new Witcher 3 enlargement, The Witcher 4, and Cyberpunk 2 to stay up for.
