According to IGN, CD Projekt RED isn't interested in talking too much about this highly anticipated title until 2017, but they did talk numbers and expectations.

"Sales of the third part will be many times higher than with our earlier games. Preorders indicate this," the studio's chief executive Adam Kicinski told Reuters this week. "We broke into the mainstream. It is such a moment in our firm's history that after some years people will look differently at CD Projekt before and after this release."

Kicinski added: "(The forecast) is not unreasonable. Games with such quality as the Witcher 3, with a similar marketing campaign, have reached similar or even better sales levels. We hope and we are certain that Cyberpunk has even bigger commercial potential. It is too early to talk about it, though. This year, and the next one will be the years of the Witcher."
