CDProjekt原本计划针对巫师系列进行三项游戏的开发, 包含巫师2, 游戏机版巫师之白狼崛起, 以及另1款尚未公布的巫师系列游戏.但受金融危机影响，开发商经历了两波裁员. 第一波裁员使得未公布的巫师游戏胎死腹中, 而第二波裁员则关闭了开发白狼崛起的工作室.

不过好消息是巫师2终究会继续，目前开发商决定将所有人力集中於巫师2的开发, 巫师2会推出PC版本和游戏机版。

============================================================

GameBanshee has learned from an inside industry contact that The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf has indeed been cancelled.

Details are sketchy, but the following facts have been confirmed: after the release of The Witcher, CD Projekt Red took the financial obligation of starting 3 projects simultaneously, a console port of The Witcher, and two more titles based on The Witcher intellectual property, one of which was The Witcher 2.

As the financial crisis hit, the studio was affected as well, finding itself incapable of managing all three projects and forced to lay off a significant portion of its staff. The third Witcher IP project was cancelled, and its entire crew was let go or left of their own volition. A second round of layoffs followed as The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf was cancelled, including around two dozen people losing their jobs yesterday.

All funds and manpower have been redirected to a single project, The Witcher 2, which will be a multi-platform title for PC and consoles.
