CD Projekt Red was established in February 2002, and since September 2003 the team has been working on its first project. The vision of CD Projekt Red  is to create role playing games that millions of players would love. That means producing computer games with great playability that would also have a great commercial potential. CD Projekt Red benefits from the experience and financial support from publishing part of CD Projekt well known as the best RPG publisher in Poland (all major RPGs were published in Poland by CD Projekt). Currently (April 2009) the CD Projekt Red team consists of over 80 professionals.

The first assumption of CD Projekt Red is to focus on only one product at a time, so that it would result in a great game, which would gain popularity all over the world. The first project is an action role playing game entitled "The Witcher" based on a setting known from the novels of the best-selling Polish fantasy author - Andrzej Sapkowski. Still, the knowledge of the novels is not needed to enjoy the gameplay and it is an additional benefit for the gamers from the countries where the books were published, such us Poland, Germany, Russia, France, Spain, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic,  United Kingdom, Hungary and Lithuania.

The vision of the game can be shortly summarized in one sentence: "An action-oriented, visually stunning, easy to use, single player RPG, with a deep and intriguing storyline."
Now, after success of The Witcher for PC, we are working on rebuilding the mature world we created for console players with our recently announced project The Witcher: Rise of The White Wolf (Xbox360, Playstation3).
