CD Projekt Red released details about job openings related to the mysterious RPG Hadar, promising "unlimited potential".

Had — a new RPG from CD Projekt Red: what the project looks like based on recent vacancies

The role‑playing game under the codename Hadar remains in the shadows for now, but thanks to a recent hiring spree at the Polish studio you can piece together several key facts about its direction and scale.

What is known
Details
Genre and features
An open world with an emphasis on close‑quarters combat. The game is being developed on Unreal Engine 5, but it uses proprietary intellectual property that differs from “The Witcher” and Cyberpunk.

Project status (March 2025)
The Hadar team has laid the foundation for a new franchise and already begun work on designing individual elements of the game.

New vacancies
1) *Director of Engineering* – task: “expand the boundaries of what’s possible for the new game in the exciting world of Hadar, creating an emotional experience with an open world that will stay with players long after.”
2) *Lead Technical Artist* – emphasizes the universe’s huge potential: “we want it to not only meet gamers’ expectations but exceed them.”

Team
According to the latest report (May 2025), only 24 people are working on Hadar. In comparison, The Witcher 4 has 513 people and Cyberpunk 2 has 163.

Release timeline estimate
Polish analysts predict that the game may not see a release until 2032.

Thus, Hadar promises to become an emotional RPG with an open world, but it remains a small project within CD Projekt Red, and its release looks distant.
