Marcin Blacha, the Vice President and Narrative Lead at CD Projekt Red, has made it clear that Project Hadar requires an "exceptional team." Aspiring developers are encouraged to explore the available positions and play a role in shaping this new venture.
Unlike the studio's previous works, such as The Witcher series, which draws from Andrzej Sapkowski’s novels, and Cyberpunk 2077, inspired by a tabletop RPG, Project Hadar introduces players to an entirely new universe crafted by CD Projekt. While specifics are still under wraps—except for the assurance that it won't delve into space horror—the project has recently expanded beyond its initial team of about twenty members.

Currently, the Hadar team is on the lookout for talent to fill roles such as programmers, VFX experts, technical artists, writers, and mission designers. The enthusiasm from top developers, describing this opportunity as a "once-in-a-lifetime chance," suggests that Project Hadar is moving from early conceptual stages into full-scale production.
CD Projekt Red is simultaneously managing multiple projects. The largest team is focused on Project Polaris, the inaugural installment of the new Witcher trilogy centered around Ciri. Meanwhile, two other teams are diligently working on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 and another game set within The Witcher universe.
