It’s been teased that a new addition to The Witcher game series will begin development “immediately” following the launch of CD Projekt Red’s next massive RPG, Cyberpunk 2077. However, it’s also been confirmed that this new adventure won’t be The Witcher 4.

CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński recently revealed [via Eurogamer Poland/PSU] that a “relatively clear concept” has been laid down for the next adventure in the team’s single player games. He added that full production would begin “immediately” after Cyberpunk 2077 lands on store shelves.

He went on to add that every game CD Projekt Red has planned right now will be based on either The Witcher or Cyberpunk universes. The new Witcher game has been assigned to a smaller team, while continued development on Cyberpunk 2077 will be handled by Red’s two larger teams.

Sadly, we’re not getting The Witcher 4.

“We’ve been working on the next single-player game already, creating a clear concept that waits for further development,” said Kiciński.

“I already said there will be no Witcher 4. I clearly said that Witcher was a trilogy. Simultaneously, we’ve always emphasised that we want to create Witcher games and the agreement with Mr. Sapkowski confirmed our rights.”

Following the news, CDPR’s Head of Studio, Adam Badowski, took to Twitter to elaborate on the company’s plans…by NOT elaborating on the company’s plans.

He shared the following statement: “The Witcher is always in our hearts and minds, but currently we are fully focused on Cyberpunk 2077. When the right time comes, we will begin to talk about other projects.”

While it’s great news to hear that CDPR is handling one IP at a time when it comes to its main focus, it’s also doing nothing but making me want to play The Witcher even more. But no Witcher 4…? Really?!
