The Witcher 4: Every part We Know About CD Projekt Pink’s Subsequent RPG

The Witcher video games (and the Netflix collection) are primarily based on the Witcher novels from writer Andrzej Sapkowski. CD Projekt’s first trilogy targeted on Geralt’s journey, and lots of are questioning the place the story may go in The Witcher 4 and past, or if it’s going to adapt any parts of any of the Witcher books. We do not have the solutions to any of these questions.

One of many essential items of hypothesis across the new Witcher sport is what that medallion seen within the teaser artwork is. Some imagine it represents the College of the Cat. CD Projekt itself later confirmed it’s a lynx, although the narrative implications of this are unclear.

Ciri from The Witcher 3 wears this medallion, although she formally skilled on the College of the Wolf. Nonetheless, there are some who took this to imagine Ciri would possibly tackle a bigger function within the subsequent sport, or maybe be the primary playable character–and they have been proper. At The Recreation Awards, CD Projekt revealed Ciri to be the primary character.

Recreation director Sebastian Kalemba instructed PC Gamer that it was a “pure selection” for The Witcher 4 to inform its story from Ciri’s perspective, constructing off the narrative in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

“There’s loads of room for her and for us, additionally, to construct on prime of [her]. There’s a lot room for exploration, and since she’s such a nuanced character, the start of her journey offers us freedom and so many alternatives to have the ability to dig in and use [that] for good,” he mentioned.

In 2020, CD Projekt author Jakub Szamałek was requested by VG247 if the studio had thought-about making Ciri the primary character of a brand new Witcher sport. Szamałek replied, “Fascinating query. Would you prefer to play a sport with Ciri as a lead character?”

“I remorse we did not get to discover Ciri’s previous a bit extra,” he defined of Ciri’s story in The Witcher 3. “She’s such an amazingly wealthy and sophisticated character. Because of apparent reasons–well, she’s just about gone for two-thirds of the game–she did not get fairly as a lot display screen time as we writers would have favored. However hey, perhaps it is one thing we’ll get to get again to sooner or later.”

Whereas The Witcher 4’s story will give attention to Ciri, Geralt will also appear.
