What Kind of Game Is CD Projekt Red and Scopely Working On?

Scopely, a well-recognized name, primarily excels due to its creation of the mobile version of Monopoly GO, and more recently, it’s acquired Niantic, the innovative team responsible for the popular augmented reality game Pokemon GO.

As Pokemon enthusiasts anxiously await a significant update from Scopely, it appears that they’re collaborating instead with CD Projekt Red, a renowned game studio known for popular intellectual properties.

CDPR x Scopely

Based on VGC’s report, an upcoming partnership between Scopely and CDPR was hinted at during a recent earnings call. While the specific intellectual property for the game has yet to be disclosed, fans are speculating that it could be connected to either The Witcher or Cyberpunk 2077 franchises.

It’s plausible that themed editions of the digital Monopoly Go game, similar to those based on Harry Potter and Star Wars, might also emerge, drawing inspiration from the worlds of The Witcher or Cyberpunk.

As an avid fan, I’ve been dreaming about the potential of Cyberpunk 2XL, where we could immerse ourselves even deeper into the world of Cyberpunk. Imagine a future where this captivating first-person shooter transforms into an augmented reality (AR) experience, right at our fingertips on our phones!

With the cyber-hacking essence of Cyberpunk as the foundation, we could be the ones traversing real-life environments, trying to hack into specific areas much like Pokemon GO players hunt for their elusive creatures. But

As a player, you’d need to crack their digital codes and take them down, turning your neighborhood into a battleground of wits, strategy, and quick reflexes. The lines between reality and the game would blur, making every corner of the city a potential battleground for cyber domination!

The Witcher on Mobile

Given that The Witcher 4 is in development, there might be concurrent work on a potential collaboration. Since there’s already a mobile adaptation of the Gwent card game, what Scopely may be developing could potentially be a separate project.

Instead of adopting the Pokemon GO format for a Witcher game, where players would physically walk around to complete missions, it might be challenging as many gamers might not be accustomed to such extensive mobility due to age or physical limitations. The appeal of Pokemon GO lies in its simplicity and accessibility, being suitable for those who may not experience discomfort from minor movements.

What’s in Store for the Future?

Currently, both Scopely and CDPR have their hands full preparing for significant game launches. CDPR is developing the successor to the hugely popular The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, while Scopely has recently made a billion-dollar acquisition with Niantic, sparking anticipation among fans who are eagerly waiting for some major changes in Pokemon GO.

It’s yet undecided exactly what these two studios intend for their partnership, but given their busy schedules with other commitments, the collaboration might not be an extensive undertaking.

It’s likely that fans will receive news shortly, and it would be great if this information isn’t delayed by more than a year.

Although the partnership between CDPR and Scopely isn’t public knowledge yet, it’s anticipated that The Witcher 4 will come out shortly for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and personal computers.
