CD Projekt changed its official name to CD PROJEKT RED in August. The company says the move is only a formality, and work continues as usual. For players and investors, that means the label changed without altering the development slate.
CD PROJEKT RED in August
August brought a formal rename, not a reset. CD Projekt S.A. became CD PROJEKT RED, and the company kept its development work in motion under the new name.
The timing matters because the studio is still carrying three active projects: The Witcher 4, a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, and an expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Those are the same production commitments readers were tracking before the name change, so the corporate label shifted faster than the work itself.
International Cat Day in August
International Cat Day in August gave the developers a lighter way to speak directly to players. They addressed players on social media and showed off some cats, turning the rename period into a public moment that mixed branding with community management.
Michael would read that as a signal that the studio still wants the audience focused on the games, not the paperwork. The social posts pushed the message that the new name is administrative, while the development pipeline remains the real story.
The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2077
The Witcher 4 is one of the projects carrying the new name forward. So is the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, along with the expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
That combination gives the rename a practical limit. If the legal name change is only a formality, then the reader should expect continuity in branding, studio output, and the way the company presents its work, even if the official title on the door now reads differently.
