The Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz has resigned from CD Projekt Red after an internal investigation into alleged workplace bullying, reports Bloomberg. Tomaszkiewicz, who was the secondary game master and production manager at Cyberpunk 2077, denies the allegations but apologized in an email to CD Projekt staff « for all the bad blood I caused ».
In the email Bloomberg claims to have seen, Tomaszkiewicz writes that a commission has been set up to investigate allegations of workplace bullying and that he has been released. « Even so, many people feel anxiety, stress, or discomfort when they work with me, » he wrote before apologizing.
Tomaszkiewicz has been with CD Projekt since 2004, first as a junior tester and then as a designer for The Witcher 1, before becoming the lead Quest designer for The Witcher 2 and game director for The Witcher 3.
In March, CD Projekt Red announced plans to reorganize their teams to support the simultaneous development of their two main series, The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077. This was part of their efforts to make price corrections after Cyberpunk’s flawed, disappointing start, which was nonetheless oversold, 13 million copies.
The company continued to patch and update Cyberpunk 2077. The latest hotfix was released just last week.
