Hey everyone, it’s time to get excited because CD Projekt Red has finally kicked off production on the next Witcher game. While we still have a long wait ahead before we can get our hands on it, those eager for any Witcher news finally have something to savor. The director of the upcoming game has announced that production for Project Polaris, the codename for this eagerly anticipated RPG, is now underway. Sebastian Kalemba shared on Twitter, “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!”
If you’ve seen Kalemba’s tweet, you might have noticed an intriguing photo of some coins on a stone floor accompanying it—hinting at possible themes in the upcoming game. With production just beginning, it’s safe to say we’re still several years away from diving into this new adventure. Exactly how long? That’s anyone’s guess. Let’s just hope we see it within this decade! And remember the rollercoaster ride of waiting for Cyberpunk 2077? Hopefully, we’ll have a smoother journey this time around.
It’s also worth mentioning that this sequel isn’t shaping up to be The Witcher 4. As we mark nearly a decade since The Witcher 3 launched, the gaming landscape has evolved. New entries in a series often have to appeal to both veterans and newcomers alike. Just look at how Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom brought fresh adventures while nodding to its predecessor Breath of the Wild.
Interestingly, the voice actor for Geralt has mentioned that this new installment won’t be focused on his character, though he’s unaware of who will take the lead. When the sequel was first announced, it was described as the beginning of a new saga, hinting at a reboot of sorts for the beloved franchise. So, stay tuned for more updates from CD Projekt Red as they continue to reveal more about this exciting new chapter in the Witcher world.
