Witcher Dev’s Mysterious New Game With Saudi Arabia’s Scopely Is Not Releasing Soon

“We’ve been previously suggesting that this would take some time. Scopely
and their team are very iterative, and they work very fast and very hard, but it’s more about iteration and reaching a certain level of satisfaction that is felt on both side–them and us–so things are happening, but, once again, it’s definitely not a story for 2026.”

CD Projekt announced its partnership with Scopely in March 2025, saying at the time that the game was based on one of CD Projekt’s franchises. This came after CD Projekt said it was considering a Cyberpunk mobile game.

Saudi Arabia’s Savvy Games bought Scopely in 2023 for $4.9 billion–that is the No. 8 biggest gaming acquisition of all time.

Scopely is one of the biggest mobile game companies on the planet. The company reached a new stratosphere of success with Monopoly Go. Scopely also now owns Pokemon Go.

In 2024, CD Projekt said it was considering the possibility of making The Witcher and/or Cyberpunk mobile games. The company does have experience with the mobile market, as Gwent: The Witcher Card Game received mobile ports, though support for the title ended in October 2023. Another Witcher mobile game, the Pokemon Go-inspired The Witcher: Monster Slayer, released in July 2021 but shut down nearly two years later in 2023.
