CD Projekt Red Assembles Massive 400-Person Development Team
CD Projekt Red is pulling out all the stops for The Witcher 4! The studio has assembled an enormous 400-person development team to work on the highly-anticipated sequel.
This is by far the largest team CD Projekt Red has ever put together for a single project, showing how ambitious their plans are for the next Witcher game. With Cyberpunk 2077 wrapping up, the full focus is now on bringing the next chapter of Geralt of Rivia’s story to life.
CD Projekt co-CEO Adam Kiciński said: “We’ve never had a development team this large before. It shows how serious we are about making The Witcher 4 our most expansive open-world game yet with meaningful choices and stories.” The studio has been recruiting top talent from around the world to join the team in Warsaw.
This incredibly talented group of developers, artists, designers, programmers, and writers have a monumental task ahead of them, but with the full might of CD Projekt Red behind them, we have no doubt they’re going to deliver an absolute masterpiece. The bar has been set high after the massive success of The Witcher 3, but we’re confident this dream team can take the franchise to dazzling new heights.
The road ahead is long, but the journey has begun. Fasten your seatbelts, grab your silver swords, and get ready to toss a coin to your Witcher once more! This is going to be an epic ride, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for Geralt's final adventure. The future is bright for The Witcher!
What to Expect from The Witcher 4 Based on Early Details
A Massive Open World to Explore
The Witcher 3 set the bar high for open-world RPGs, but the Witcher 4 is set to surpass it. CD Projekt Red has hinted at an even larger map with diverse new locations to discover. Imagine dense forests, perilous mountains, and windswept coastlines begging you to venture off the beaten path. Who knows what monsters and mysteries await?
New Characters and Quests
While we'll miss Geralt, Ciri, and the rest of the gang, the Witcher 4 gives CD Projekt Red the chance to craft a whole new set of unforgettable characters. Expect complex, multi-dimensional heroes and villains that subvert fantasy tropes. And of course, with new characters come new quests. If The Witcher 3's side quests are any indication, even minor missions in The Witcher 4 will be packed with twists, humor, and poignant moments.
Next-Gen Graphics and Gameplay
As a next-gen-only title, the Witcher 4 will harness the full power of new hardware like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Life-like characters, ray tracing, and little details will make the world feel truly alive. And new hardware enables new gameplay possibilities - perhaps we'll get to see Geralt's sword skills in virtual reality or on the go with Switch cross-save support!
The Witcher 4 is still a ways off, but with so much talent and passion behind it, this game is destined to be a masterpiece. The future is bright for Witcher fans, so keep your silver sword sharp - there are more adventures to come!
