CD Projekt Red Seeks Talent for Mysterious Project Hadar

Marcin Blacha, the Vice President and Narrative Lead at CD Projekt Red, has underscored the need for an "exceptional team" for their ambitious project, Project Hadar. Aspiring developers are encouraged to explore the open positions and play a crucial role in shaping this new venture.

Unlike CD Projekt Red's previous successes, The Witcher series (which draws from Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels) and Cyberpunk 2077 (inspired by a tabletop RPG), Project Hadar introduces a completely new universe crafted by CD Projekt. While specifics are limited—except for the assurance that it won't delve into space horror—the project has been quietly progressing with a small team of around twenty until recently.

Currently, the Hadar team is actively recruiting for several key roles, including programmers, VFX experts, technical artists, writers, and mission designers. The enthusiasm from top developers, who describe this as a "once-in-a-lifetime chance," suggests that Project Hadar is moving from conceptual stages to full-scale production.

CD Projekt Red is simultaneously managing multiple projects. The largest team is dedicated to Project Polaris, the inaugural game in the new Witcher trilogy centered around Ciri. Additionally, two other teams are hard at work on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 and another title set within The Witcher universe.
