Witcher 3 dev confirms next game is first in a brand-new saga CD Projekt RedDuring an earnings call, CD Projekt Red confirmed its next Witcher game will mark the start of a new saga for the series. The Polish studio formally announced it had begun work on a new Witcher title this past spring. Apart from news that Unreal Engine 5 will power the project, few details surfaced from the reveal. But a teaser image depicting a Lynx Medallion suggests a Witcher School that spawned from popular fanfiction may take center stage. And it now seems CD Projekt Red\u2019s Witcher universe will continue to expand beyond whatever comes next. The next Witcher game is the start of something greater During CD Projekt Red\u2018s latest earnings call, an investor asked President and Joint CEO Adam Kici\u0144ski to clarify comments about a \u201cnew Witcher saga.\u201d In his response, the executive noted that CDPR is already considering plans to produce multiple titles in the monster-filled universe. \u201cWe said that there\u2019ll be a new saga. Now we are pre-producing the first game of this saga. But we have in mind more than one. The first saga [featured] three games, so now we are thinking about more than one game\u2026\u201d Talk about CD Projekt Red\u2019s future plans for its mainline Witcher series begins around the 50:20 timestamp in the following video: Given the Witcher franchise\u2019s unwavering popularity in recent years, this news seemed all but confirmed prior to Kici\u0144ski\u2019s comment. Still, it\u2019s nice to have confirmation that the next Witcher game is unlikely to count as the last. During the earnings call, the company also reiterated that The Witcher 3\u2019s long-awaited new-gen update remains on track for a late 2022 release. The studio continues to withhold details about a specific due date, however. With Cyberpunk 2077\u2019s Phantom Liberty DLC slated for 2023, information on the next Witcher game will likely remain under wraps for quite a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
