The Witcher 4 already in development? New notice raises hope among fans

Is CD Projekt RED already working on "The Witcher 4"?

A job offer from the studio could indicate this.

"Cyberpunk 2077" is the latest game from CD Projekt RED.

It was one of the most anticipated games of the past few years.

Unfortunately, the game turned out to be a disappointment, mainly due to the severe performance problems on PS4 and Xbox One *.

The futuristic role-playing game did not come close to the success and popularity of "The Witcher 3".

While the developers are now trying to bring "Cyberpunk 2077" up to scratch with updates and DLCs, players are already wondering how things are going with a new "The Witcher" part.

CD Projekt has not officially announced anything, but a job posting could contain a reference to a continuation.

For "The Witcher 4"?

CD Projekt RED is looking for new employees

Shortly after the release of “Cyberpunk 2077”, the Polish development studio revealed that there was already a “relatively clear concept” for the next game. He also stated that CD Projekt RED wanted to focus in future on game worlds from the “The Witcher” and “Cyberpunk” universes. Therefore, fans hope that the next game from the studio will be "The Witcher 4" - but the title might be different.

This has not been confirmed, but a new job posting could actually point to the production of a new "The Witcher" part (via

gadgetcrutches.com

). This reveals that CD Projekt RED is looking for a programmer for the department in Vancouver who has experience with “

real-time cameras from the third perspective

”. If it is not a completely new game, the chances are good that the job advertisement is intended to work on a "The Witcher" title, since the game character was always controlled from the third-person view - in "Cyberpunk 2077" only the first person perspective is available.

New "The Witcher" game will appear in a few years at the earliest

Will Geralt return?

Will the players slip into the role of Ciri or a completely new character?

There are currently no answers to these questions.

Should CD Projekt actually have started the development of a new "The Witcher" game, the production should

still be in a very early phase

.

A release can therefore only be expected in a few years at the earliest.

The studio will be much more careful with announcements after the "Cyberpunk 2077" debacle so that the developers have enough time and do not deliver an unfinished game that causes performance problems.
