CD Projekt is considering licensing out its Cyberpunk or The Witcher IP to mobile developers

CD Project is considering licensing out its Cyberpunk or The Witcher IP for use in mobile games.
As part of a Q&A following an earnings conference for the publisher’s FY2023 earnings, one caller asked: “Have you considered licensing either of your big IPs to third parties to make mobile games?”
They then asked how this would work from a business standpoint, whether it would be a one-off licensing fee or a profit-sharing agreement.
Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski replied that the publisher was indeed looking at the possibility, but that nothing had been set in stone yet.
“The answer is pretty simple here,” he replied. “The answer is yes, we are considering such a move.
“In fact, we were pursuing, through conversations, opportunities like that. We have nothing to announce just yet, but when the time comes, we would.
“As for a one-off or other business model related to any such potential partnership, we would not comment on the specifics here, to be honest, plus there is nothing in place that we’re talking about.
“But there’s no predesigned business model we’re looking at in this case, whether one-off or shared profits. That’s another story. But when the time comes we’ll definitely share information.”
Cyberpunk 2077 has never been the subject of a mobile game, but mobile titles based on The Witcher have been released in the past with mixed results.
The Witcher: Monster Slayer was a geolocation based RPG released in July 2021, but it was shut down in June 2023.
Android and iOS ports of The Witcher card game spin-off Gwent were also released, as was a standalone single-player expansion called Thronebreaker. Reception to Gwent was generally positive on all formats, though official support for the game ended in October 2023.
