During CDProjektRed’s earnings call, CEO Michał Nowakowski was asked if he had considered licensing IP to third parties to make mobile games, and how that would work from a business perspective, whether it would be a one-time licensing fee or a profit-sharing agreement, etc. question.
Nowakowski said the company is indeed considering licensing the IP for use in mobile games. Nowakowski said: “In fact, we are pursuing such opportunities. We have nothing to announce yet, but once the time is right, we will announce it. As for whether it is a one-time licensing fee or other business models, to be honest, we don’t We’ll discuss the specifics here because we haven’t agreed on anything yet.”
Previously, “The Witcher” IP has released the AR mobile game “The Witcher: Monster Slayer”, which was developed by Spokko, a mobile game studio acquired by CDP. However, the game received a mediocre response and was discontinued in June last year. In addition, there is also a single-player game “The Witcher: Gwent” that is also the “Witcher” IP. Although “Gwent” has received a good response, CDPR also announced after a major version update for the game in October last year that the game will no longer receive updates, but players can still continue to play.
