CD Projekt Red is all in on The Witcher 4, and unsurprisingly, has begun really pushing the game’s marketing and potential power within the space. The Polish studio is confident it will be bigger and better than both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.
In an interview with Eurogamer, VP of Technology Charles Tremblay touches on how the game is going to be bigger and better than the studio’s previous fare.
“I will not say it’s easy, but I think that we have some cool stuff going, and hopefully that will have some good showcase [of the technology]. The only thing I will say is that changing the tech for us does not change the fact that we always will be ambitious. And the next game we do will not be smaller, and it will not be worse. So it will be better, bigger, greater than The Witcher 3, it will be better than Cyberpunk – because for us, it’s unacceptable [to launch that way]. We don’t want to go back.”
Of note, of the two games, Cyberpunk 2077, which of course, faced a lot of pushback following its rushed release in 2020, was a smaller map, but it managed to provide a strong play area that felt larger than it actually was.
Meanwhile, we’ll have some time to wait before any sort of big The Witcher 4 reveal happens, as it seems CPR learned its lesson with revealing games too early. As it stands, the studio plans to reveal the game fully a year before its proper launch.
