The Witcher 4: A New Saga in the Making
Geralt’s epic journey may have wrapped up with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but the world of the White Wolf is far from exhausted. CD Projekt Red is already knee-deep in pre‑production, hinting that a fresh trilogy of Witcher games is on the horizon.
What the Company Says (and What It Means)
- New saga, new protagonist: The studio’s president, Adam Kiciński, confirmed the upcoming title will launch a brand‑new saga, just like the first trilogy.
- Three parts, not just one: “We’re pre‑producing the first game of this saga, but we have more than one in mind.” The plan is for a trilogy.
- No Geralt yet: While the first trilogy centered around Geralt, the second story will spotlight a different hero—likely a fan‑favorite.
- Gameplay powered by Unreal Engine 5: CD Projekt Red is partnering with Epic Games to build the new entries on this next‑gen engine.
Who Will Save the World?
Rumors are swirling that Ciri might take the baton. Her medallion, tied to the School of the Cat, has a flair reminiscent of the newly unveiled Lynx medallion—so the theory isn’t shockingly off‑beat.
Why Fans Are Excited
- Fresh storylines: Each game in the new trilogy promises its own complete arc, offering fresh narratives and potential twists.
- New gameplay mechanics: With Unreal Engine 5, players can expect lightning‑fast action, stunning visuals, and smoother world‑building.
- Uncharted characters: A new protagonist means fresh perspectives and fan darlings to rally behind.
So while we’re still waiting for official confirmation, one thing is crystal clear: the next chapter of the Witcher saga is being crafted with big‑time tech and a touch of youthful mystery. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and our memory packs ready for what’s next.
