CD Projekt Red Begins Production on New Witcher Game (Unlikely to Be The Witcher 4)

Gather around, gamers, because it’s finally happening! The countdown to the next Witcher game is officially underway as CD Projekt Red has begun its creation process.

Now, before you get too carried away, keep in mind that it’ll likely be a few more years before we’re casting spells and slaying monsters again. However, there’s some exciting news for those itching for a Witcher update. The director of the upcoming Witcher entry confirmed that production has officially kicked off for Project Polaris—the codename given to this eagerly anticipated RPG sequel. Sebastian Kalemba spilled the beans on his personal Twitter account, exclaiming, “I’m thrilled to announce that Project Polaris has entered the full-scale production phase! With new challenges just around the corner, it’s the talented and hard-working people who make me believe we can together make the upcoming Witcher Saga a remarkable experience. No stopping now! Stay tuned for what’s on the other side of the coin!”

In case you missed it, the tweet came alongside an intriguing photo of coins resting on a stone floor, hinting at the mysteries yet to be uncovered. While the game is still in the early stages, leaving us several years from getting our hands on it, there’s hope it might drop within the next decade. Fingers crossed, Witcher fans! We’ve all seen those unexpected delays before—remember how long it took Cyberpunk 2077 to finally launch?

An intriguing tidbit for this sequel is that it might not be The Witcher 4 in name, at least. As time passes, game developers often make sequels more accessible to newcomers, similar to how Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom stands alone despite following Breath of the Wild. Geralt’s voice actor even hinted that the game won’t revolve around the iconic Witcher protagonist and admitted that the details of who’s taking the lead are still under wraps. When the sequel was first teased, they described it as the start of a fresh saga. So, get ready for something new and exciting, and keep an eye out for more updates from CD Projekt Red as they roll out more info.
