The Witcher Goes Mobile? CD Projekt RED and Scopely Announce Major Collaboration

Scopely and CD Projekt RED Join Forces – What Could This Mobile Power Move Mean?

Just a couple of weeks ago, Scopely made waves with its massive acquisition of Niantic, the minds behind Pokémon GO. That alone was enough to send shockwaves through the mobile gaming scene. But now? Scopely is showing us it’s not even close to being done.

In a surprise announcement during an investor call, CD Projekt RED, the legendary studio behind The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, revealed that they’re teaming up with Scopely to create a new mobile game. Yeah, you read that right—this is the same Scopely behind the wildly popular Monopoly GO, now teaming up with one of the most respected names in RPG gaming.

Let’s take a second to let that sink in.

While the details are still tightly under wraps, CD Projekt confirmed that the game will be based on one of their existing IPs. They didn’t drop a name—but if you had to bet? Most signs point to The Witcher. Not only is it CD Projekt’s most established and globally loved franchise, but with a new Witcher game already in development, launching a mobile side-experience could be the perfect way to keep the hype burning while introducing the world of Geralt to an even wider audience.

And let’s be real—The Witcher has the kind of lore, combat, and fantasy world that’s practically built for mobile RPG greatness. We’re talking decked-out characters, monster hunting, alliances, magic systems, branching stories… this could be RAID: Shadow Legends meets Gwent, with a slice of narrative brilliance we’ve come to expect from CD Projekt.

📱 Why Scopely?

If you’re wondering why CD Projekt would team up with Scopely of all companies, here’s your answer: reach and resources. Scopely has proven again and again that it knows how to dominate the mobile space. Monopoly GO has been an absolute juggernaut, and the company’s recent acquisition of Niantic shows just how serious they are about becoming the kingpins of mobile gaming.

By working with Scopely, CD Projekt gets a fast track into phones worldwide—especially with players who may not have consoles or PCs but are still itching for deep, fantasy-rich experiences on mobile. It’s a win-win, and honestly, a pretty genius business move from both sides.

🧠 Why Now?

Timing, my friend. The Witcher universe is still riding high thanks to the Netflix show, the resurgence of interest in the older games, and of course, that upcoming new-gen Witcher title currently in development. Dropping a mobile experience now (or even teasing one this year) could give fans something to bite into while they wait for the next big AAA release.

It also makes sense following the success of other mobile-first expansions of big franchises. Diablo Immortal (despite the drama) proved that there’s serious demand for mobile dungeon crawlers. Even Genshin Impact showed how deep RPG systems can thrive on mobile.

Now imagine those mechanics filtered through the dark, gritty world of The Witcher.

Yeah. We’re excited too.

🧙 What Could the Game Look Like?

While we’re in speculation territory here, some possible formats include:

• A RAID: Shadow Legends-style team-based RPG featuring characters from across The Witcher timeline.
• A story-rich solo campaign that follows a new Witcher or revisits Geralt’s past.
• A PvP-driven monster hunter with deck-building and alchemy-based combat.
• Or—just maybe—a Gwent 2.0 with roguelike mechanics and narrative progression.

Whatever it ends up being, we can expect high production values, recognizable faces (Yennefer, Ciri, and yes, Geralt himself), and some serious attention to worldbuilding.

Scopely and CD Projekt RED are a combo we never knew we needed—but now that it’s real? We can’t stop thinking about the possibilities. This could be the next big thing for fantasy gaming on mobile, and it might just rewrite what we expect from the genre.

Whether you’re a long-time Witcher fan or just love a solid mobile RPG, keep your eyes on this one. If CD Projekt brings even a fraction of their storytelling magic to mobile, and Scopely brings their free-to-play wizardry, we could be looking at 2025’s breakout mobile hit.
