CD Projekt Gets $7 Million to Study Game Development

The studio will study city creation, seamless multiplayer, cinematic feel and animation excellence.

National Center for Research of Development in Poland has awarded famous local studio called CD Projekt RED 30 million PLN ($7 million USD) to help it research several aspects of game development. 

The Witcher series developer had four proposals for possible research topics and all of them were approved. The proposals featured several game development aspects: city creation, seamless multiplayer, cinematic feel, and animation excellence. 

Developing video games is a hyperinnovative activity, but also one which carries substantial financial risks, involves continuous R&D work, and requires much experimentation and prototyping along the way.

The GameINN program—a fruit of our industry’s collaborative efforts—will, in the coming years, enable Polish developers to carry out nearly 40 projects worth 191 million PLN. I am confident that the resulting innovative solutions will further elevate the quality of Polish video games and enhance our competitiveness on the global stage. Indeed, our industry now has the potential to become the champion of the modern Polish economy.
