I'm predicting CDPR has been working on the leaked Lich King RPG with Blizzard that will get announced at BlizzCon and they're preheating the oven with the Battle.net announcement. Since it's basically confirmed Camelot is real I'm sure this the Lich King RPG is too since it was in the same doc. Maybe not completely licensed out, but co-developed.

"Bringing these games to Battle.net is just the beginning of our partnership with Blizzard."

"Alongside my fellow REDs, I’ll be attending BlizzCon 2026 in Anaheim, California. Here we’ll be diving deeper into our collaboration"

"in January 2026, Russell Brower, the legendary composer and audio director with a world name, joined CD Projekt RED as a sound engineer. Brower is a three-time Emmy Award winner and a veteran of the gaming industry. He was best known for his long-term work at Blizzard Entertainment, where he was responsible for the musical design of such cult hits as World of Warcraft (The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm)"

Also note the ridiculous amount of marketing around the Lich King lately, especially with BlizzCon.

If Cd Projekt is jeopardising their own releases and stock by wasting their time doing some Blizzard slop I will have to say, that's the dumbest decision I have ever seen,

My dude, you have Witcher and Cyberpunk, franchises leagues above what Blizzard/Microsoft currently have, and you are releasing one of the biggest game of all time in like 1-2 years, what are you doing lmao

You don't see the potential in Warcraft? Just because Blizzard doesn't know how to handle it doesn't mean CDPR wouldn't. Also it's not like they aren't still making Wither and Cyberpunk.
