That is proper, of us, you may lastly begin counting down the times to the subsequent Witcher sport, as manufacturing has lastly kicked off at CD Projekt Crimson.
Now, do not get too excited because it’s nearly positively nonetheless years away, however these of you desperately hoping for some Witcher updates lastly have a juicy one: the director of the subsequent Witcher sport has confirmed that manufacturing has began on Undertaking Polaris (the codename for the subsequent entry within the common RPG collection). “I am thrilled to announce that Undertaking Polaris has entered the full-scale manufacturing part!” wrote Sebastian Kalemba on his private Twitter account. “With new challenges simply across the nook, it’s the proficient and hard-working individuals who make me consider we will collectively make the upcoming Witcher Saga a exceptional expertise. No stopping now! Keep tuned for what’s on the opposite aspect of the coin!”
That final line is in reference to a photograph paired with the tweet, which you’ll be able to see above, of some cash laying on a stone ground. Clearly if manufacturing has solely simply began on the sport, we’re nonetheless few years out from being truly in a position to play it. What number of years? Do not ask me! Have not the foggiest, however I am going to cross my fingers for all you Witcher followers that it will be someday this decade on the very least (we have about 5 years to go till the subsequent one, however all of us bear in mind what occurred to Cyberpunk 2077, do not we).
One necessary factor to notice about this upcoming sequel is that it appears unlikely to outright be The Witcher 4. Subsequent 12 months it is going to have been a full decade since The Witcher 3 got here out, and with sport growth taking so lengthy a whole lot of video games are designed to be welcoming to new gamers even when they’re sequels (simply have a look at Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and the way little it references Breath of the Wild).
The voice of Geralt himself has even mentioned the subsequent one is not concerning the collection’ mainstay protagonist, although he does not know who it is going to be about. Again when the sequel was revealed it even famous that it is the begin of a brand new saga, so it is fairly protected to say this’ll be beginning contemporary, roughly. I am certain we’ll discover out extra when CD Projekt Crimson is able to present extra.
