So, here we are again, folks! The Witcher is back on our radar, and just like your favorite old sweater, it feels comfortably familiar. In a recent chat with the Skill Up podcast (thanks to the lovely people over at Gameranx), CD Projekt Red dropped some juicy tidbits about The Witcher 4. Spoiler alert: don’t expect a massive overhaul of map size or quest numbers from its predecessor.
The team behind this beloved series, VPs Sebastian Kalemba and Małgorzata Mitrega, confirmed that The Witcher 4 would have “more or less” the same map size as The Witcher 3 and a similar number of quests. But hang on before you start rolling your eyes, thinking this is another rehash! There’s more to consider here.
While keeping things relatively compact, they hinted at something bigger brewing underneath. The developers emphasized that their ambition for the game is “huge” and that they aim to deliver “a super compelling experience.” So yes, it may be familiar territory, but expect a quality ride rather than just an expanded version of what came before.
The Witcher 4 will occur a few years after The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. That means Geralt’s adventures might be seasoned with new flavors while still honoring everything we loved about his journey up until now. They’re aiming to create an inviting experience for newcomers, too. Talk about walking a tightrope between nostalgia and innovation!
You might be wondering how Geralt fits into all this chaos. Well, he’ll be there, but as usual in the land of mystery and intrigue, nobody can say how. Intriguing right? Now let’s hear from you! What do you think about returning to familiar grounds with similar map sizes and quests? Are you ready for another round of monster slaying?
