This week, CD Projekt RED confirmed work on a new saga set in the Witcher universe and released the first piece of art. The image features an unusual medallion design, dusted with snow, hinting at a fresh visual identity for a future chapter in the franchise.
Fans have debated whether the medallion nods to the School of the Cat and if Ciri will headline the story, citing a resemblance to the feline-inspired motif from the earlier adventures and the snowy aesthetic that could symbolize elements associated with Ciri, sometimes linked to a frost or winter lore in Witcher storytelling.
Another portion of the community sees a lynx-like silhouette in the artwork, thanks to long ears and distinctive facial lines. CD Projekt RED’s head of communications, Marcin Momot, acknowledged the discussion in a lighthearted way after a social post comparing the medallion to a lynx, sharing a playful gif rather than a direct confirmation.
As for a release window, no date has been announced. The company has also shared details on the project leadership, underscoring the strategic direction for this Witcher title. In related regional news, policy changes and platform decisions have influenced how some titles are distributed in various markets, including Russia, reflecting ongoing shifts in the global gaming landscape.
