CD Projekt RED, the company behind The Witcher 3 and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, has announced that it will be donating 4 million PLN, roughly 980,000 USD, to the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy) to help combat the spread of coronavirus in Poland, the company's home country.
CD Projekt RED co-founder Marcin Iwinski posted an update to his LinkedIn profile concerning the donation, stating, "We’d like to thank all the brave souls who fight for our well-being every day and hope these funds help in your effort to rid us of the virus." The donation has been split between CD Projekt RED itself and the company's board of directors and shareholders, with both parties donating 2 million PLN.
Last week, CD Projekt RED announced that it would be shifting to a work from home structure to minimize its risk of coronavirus spreading throughout the company. CD Projekt RED is just one of many companies implementing such measures, with other major developers and publishers taking similar precautions.
Fans had worried that the work from home structure would cause another delay for Cyberpunk 2077, but according to CD Projekt RED, it will still hit its September release date. Regardless, CD Projekt RED's donation should go a long way to help combat the coronavirus pandemic currently ravaging the world.
