According to Gadget360, CD Projekt Red, the developer behind the games The Witcher , and Cyberpunk 2077, has denied rumors about being acquired by Sony. This rumor started to surface recently, when Sony said that the company is looking to take the games it has acquired to a whole new level.
The rumor first surfaced from leaker Liz's Discord post, which claimed that PlayStation planned to buy Projekt Red CD and the game title. Days Gone 2 is being developed. Game franchise director Jeff Ross Days Gone also denied this rumor of Liz.
CD Projekt Red will remain standalone
CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kiciński has confirmed that the developer will not change anything and still wants to remain independent in the industry. According to him, at the moment, CD Projekt Red has many projects in development, so the speculation about them being acquired is also quite understandable, as this can add more resources to the studio to quickly complete the work. One of the ongoing projects by CDPR is the expansion "Phantom Liberty" by Cyberpunk 2077.
Meanwhile, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) acquired Firewalk Studios last month to help build a massive AAA multiplayer game for PS5 and PC. In addition, the Japanese game company also has a series of large deals that have been made such as the acquisition of Bungie, Housemarque and well-known game software such as Nixxes Software and Bluepoint Games.
