The Polish developer CD Projekt RED is once again in the spotlight of investors. After a year of sustained growth, the value of its shares has risen by almost 40% in just twelve months, placing it among the most valuable in the European technology sector. The main reason behind this enthusiasm is the development of The Witcher 4, one of the most anticipated releases of the coming years.

As reported by Bloomberg, shareholder confidence is high, and analysts predict that 2027 could become the best year in the studio’s history, provided the deadlines are met and the game finally hits the market that year. The expectation surrounding the return of the Geralt universe has placed CDPR in a position of strength it hasn’t seen since the release of The Witcher 3.

The Witcher 4 generates record expectations… but not everyone is convinced

Despite the widespread enthusiasm, there are also voices calling for caution. One of them is analyst Poniatowski, who has warned of a possible “bubble effect” and has even recommended selling CDPR shares to avoid a scenario like the one experienced with GameStop. Although it’s not an identical situation, the risk of overvaluation exists if expectations are not met, so investors are proceeding with caution.

The The Witcher saga has sold over 75 million copies worldwide, with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt being the most successful title with over 50 million units sold to date.

For now, CD Projekt has not revealed specific details about The Witcher 4, beyond it being the start of a new saga within the witcher universe. However, the combination of legacy, demand, and economic forecasts is fueling interest in both the stock market and the gaming community.
