CDPR reiterates that it will not be acquired: We are not interested and attach great importance to independence

As we all know, "The Witcher 3" produced by CDPR set a new benchmark for open world RPGs. "Cyberpunk 2077" sold more than 25 million copies, and the developer has become one of the giants in the game industry. While its reputation has spread far and wide, it has also become an acquisition target for Sony and Microsoft because they hope to expand through the acquisition of CDPR. However, CDPR recently reiterated that they have no intention of being acquired because they value their independence.

Recently, CDPR CEO Adam Kiciński was interviewed by Polish media Parkiet. He once again responded to the rumors of being acquired, saying that they were not interested in merging into a larger company.

"These are all rumors and we are not interested in joining any larger entity. We have worked our entire lives to get to where we are today. We believe that in a few years we will be bigger and stronger. We have ambitious plans and are passionate about what we are going to do. And we value our independence."

There were early rumors that Sony wanted to acquire the Polish company in response to Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard. However, CDPR officials quickly denied the statement. Now the latest interview confirms that Adam Kiciński has not changed his mind. Currently, CDPR has hundreds of outstanding developers and a world-class professional team in story, technology and RPG.

In addition, Adam Kiciński also talked about the "Witcher 4" project, which is currently being developed by nearly half of the team. The company hopes to move approximately 400 developers to the project in 2024. According to interviews, this goal remains unchanged and the project is well under development. CDPR is more ambitious for future projects. They hope that "The Witcher 4" will break the boundaries of RPG games, while the "Cyberpunk 2077" sequel aims at a more ambitious branching narrative.

Like CDPR, Capcom has recently denied rumors of an acquisition. The two companies appear to share the same philosophy and are open to collaboration while focusing on independent growth.
