The Witcher 4 is a highly anticipated new game for CD Projekt Red, and it will kick off a brand new trilogy. Although we still don't know a lot about the game, CD Projekt has now revealed some exciting information.
Co-CEO Nowakowski said The Witcher 4 won't be "The Witcher 3 with new clothes." Instead, it's dedicated to breaking new ground and differentiating itself from previous games, but not just a little different.
"Making a new game is always a creative challenge, especially when we're trying to push boundaries and explore uncharted territory," he says. While the concept is relatively vague, I can't reveal more details without touching on the specifics of the game. "I would say that you shouldn't expect The Witcher 3 to just get new clothes. ”
Of course, The Witcher 4 is based on The Witcher 3 and other previous games. However, Nowakowski said that The Witcher 4 will introduce many new gameplay elements and mechanics that were not present in the previous game.
He continued: "I want to stress that there is always a risk in doing so; ”
The Witcher series has a fine tradition of "fantasy world", "free choice" and "extreme graphics", attracting many loyal fans. Among them, The Witcher 4 will also continue to focus on the player's freedom, you can shape the character according to your own wishes, and make various key decisions in the game. These decisions will affect the entire storyline and the development of character relationships, giving players a greater sense of participation and immersion.
Regarding the specific release time of The Witcher 4, the executive said that it is inconvenient to disclose it, because "announcing the release date is part of the marketing plan, and we are not willing to disclose it here." "Back in 2022, the company's management had said that The Witcher 4 would be released as early as 2025.
However, he also mentioned that The Witcher 4 is CD Projekt's most mature project so far, which means that it has made a lot of progress in its development process. While the game is currently in pre-production, full development is expected to begin in the second half of 2024. More than 400 people are currently working on The Witcher 4, codenamed "Polaris".
In addition to The Witcher 4, CD Projekt has a number of upcoming games. The company is working on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, a remake of the original Witcher, a new IP codenamed "Hadar", and a new Witcher game co-developed by Molasses Flood Studios.
