CD Projekt says it will not negotiate with the hacker, even if this does lead to its data being released to the public.
While the company doesn't say which and how much data has been stolen, the hacker claims they have gotten away with "full copies of the source codes" for the games Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, Gwent: The Witcher Card Game, and an "unreleased version of Witcher 3."
They also claim to have company documents related to "accounting, administration, legal, HR, investor relations and more."
The hacker left CD Projekt with a deadline of 48 hours to contact and presumably agree to their terms. If that doesn't happen, the hacker claims CD Projekt's source code will be "sold or leaked online" and the company documents sent to journalists.
