As part of this partnership, CD PROJEKT RED will become the main strategic partner with Futuregames Warsaw, the Polish division of one of the best Rookies-certified game dev schools in the world. Both of the companies will work together to expand access to education in the various fields of the video game industry.
Futuregames is a game dev academy from Sweden and it offers a whole range of different types of education at many different levels, from short courses for experienced professionals to full-time programs for aspiring game developers who are just starting in the industry.

Lessons will be held in English, on-site in Warsaw, and will be open to all EU citizens and valid student visa holders.
The very first batch of courses will commence in September 2023, with Futuregames Warsaw attendees getting to create a total of four games. All of them will be using provided professional-grade game dev software and hardware and with their creators retaining full ownership of the games they make.
