A number of former CD Projekt Red staff members decided that enough was enough and founded their own studio called Blank. The company was co-founded by Mateusz Kanik, who was the game director for Cyberpunk 2077 and also the game director for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt along with former executive producers, Jędrzej Mróz and Marcin Jefimow, and Warsaw SA Rookiez Mikołaj Marchewka. GameSpot also reports that Michal Dobrowolski (CD Projekt Red) as Design Director, Artur Ganszyniec (CD Projekt Red, 11 Bit Studios) as Narrative Director and Grzegorz Przybys (Division 48 Studio, Artificer) as Art Director are currently looking for more talent individuals to join the team. Blank’s debut game is a post-apocalyptic adventure, yet to be released.
“After years of working in an increasingly conservative industry, we are ready to make bold, impactful projects that share our unique creativity and values. Where the industry advocates the dictatorship of the creative individual, we want to leave ownership to the team. Where the industry relies on crunch culture, we prefer work-life balance. Where the industry says bigger is better, we set our sights on highly polished games with a focus on emotion, story and craftsmanship.”
