The other day The Witcher 4 has entered its active production phase, as announced by CD Projekt RED. Eurogamer spoke to the studio developers and learned a few new details about the game’s creation.
According to CDPR technical vice president Charles Tremblay, the new The Witcher will be released more widely than its predecessor and in much better technical condition than Cyberpunk 2077. To do this, the studio divided the production into several projects with different levels of verification.
The game will also most likely be released immediately on PC and consoles without early access, as was the case with Baldur’s Gate 3 from Larian Studios. In addition, the studio will launch a long-term marketing campaign for The Witcher 4 – just under two years will pass from the moment of announcement to the game’s release. However, the developers have also learned the lessons of Cyberpunk 2077, so they promise not to create hype, but simply to “whet the fans’ appetite.” They are also willing to work more carefully on the platforms for the game so that the story with PS4 and Xbox One does not repeat itself.
Things can go wrong, but it’s our job to make sure they don’t. And I think that’s the biggest reason for optimism, because everyone in the company is worried all the time – but in a good way, if you know what I mean. Worried about whether we’ll do everything well enough? Are we sure we won’t miss anything? I think this gives us a better chance of success in the future than if we thought we couldn’t fail.
Let us remind you that The Witcher 4 is being developed under the codename Project Polaris on the Unreal Engine 5. The release date of the game remains unknown.
