The Witcher may return, but will Geralt?

Despite the series selling 25 million copies worldwide, there’s been no talk of a fourth Witcher game… until now.

With the vast majority of those sales coming from The Witcher 3, you’d normally assume that a new sequel was a given. But CD Projekt has always insisted that the series would end as a trilogy, at least as far as main character Geralt is concerned.

And speaking to investors, one exec reiterated that, ‘The Witcher was designed as a trilogy and a trilogy cannot have a fourth part, can it?’

However, he did add that: ‘We like this world a lot. We invested 15 years of our lives in it and a lot of money. So, we’ll think about [making a new Witcher game].’




You could interpret that as implying that the new game would feature a new protagonist, but other than that it seems to make The Witcher 4 appear pretty likely.

If it does happen though it won’t be any time soon, as CD Projekt’s current focus is sci-fi role-player Cyberpunk 2077, of which virtually nothing has been seen so far.

That and spin-off Gwent: The Witcher Card Game, the open beta of which you can play for free on PlayStation 4 this weekend.
