These projects include a next-generation version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, a mobile game called The Witcher: Monster Slayer, a Netflix anime film called The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, a Netflix live-action series called The Witcher: Blood Origin, and a mysterious AAA RPG that could be The Witcher 4.
In this article, we will explore each of these projects and what they mean for the future of the Witcher franchise. We will also discuss the possibility of The Witcher 4 and what we can expect from it.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Next Generation Edition
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is widely considered to be one of the best RPGs of all time. The game was released in 2015 and has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. It has also won over 800 awards, including multiple Game of the Year awards.
The game follows the story of Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter known as a witcher, who is searching for his adopted daughter Ciri, who is being hunted by a powerful enemy called the Wild Hunt. The game features a vast and immersive open world, rich and complex characters, engaging quests, dynamic combat, and multiple endings.
CD Projekt has announced that they are working on a next-generation version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This version will feature improved graphics, faster loading times, and other enhancements. It will also include all the DLCs and expansions that were released for the game, such as Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.
The next-generation version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be released in 2022 and will be free for owners of the current version of the game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
The Witcher: Monster Slayer
The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a mobile game that combines augmented reality (AR) and location-based technology to create a unique witcher experience. The game allows players to become witchers themselves and hunt monsters in their real-world surroundings.
The game features a first-person perspective and uses the camera of the mobile device to show the monsters that are lurking around. Players can use their swords, signs, potions, bombs, and other witcher tools to fight them. They can also collect trophies, craft items, upgrade their gear, and complete quests.
The game also features a story mode that takes place before the events of The Witcher series. Players can encounter familiar characters from the books and games, such as Vesemir, Lambert, Eskel, Triss Merigold, and others.
The Witcher: Monster Slayer is developed by Spokko, a subsidiary of CD Projekt. The game is available for free on iOS and Android devices.
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is an anime film that is produced by Netflix and Studio Mir, the same studio that created The Legend of Korra and Voltron: Legendary Defender. The film is a spin-off of the Netflix live-action series The Witcher,
The film is a spin-off of the Netflix live-action series The Witcher, which is based on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski and the games by CD Projekt. The film focuses on the origin story of Vesemir, Geralt’s mentor and friend, who is voiced by Theo James.
The film follows Vesemir as a young and cocky witcher who enjoys slaying monsters for money and fame. However, he soon faces a new threat that forces him to confront his past and his destiny. The film also explores the history and secrets of the witchers, the mages, and the Continent.
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf was released on August 23, 2021, on Netflix. The film received positive reviews from critics and fans, who praised its animation, action, humour, and voice acting.
The Witcher: Blood Origin
The Witcher: Blood Origin is a live-action series that is produced by Netflix and Hivemind, the same producers of The Witcher series. The series is a prequel that takes place 1200 years before the events of The Witcher series. The series tells the story of the first witcher and the origins of the witcher order.
The series will feature six episodes and will star Laurence O’Fuarain as Fjall, a warrior who seeks revenge after losing his tribe and his loved ones. Sophia Brown will play Eile, an elite warrior-turned-musician who has a special gift. Michelle Yeoh will play Scian, a nomadic sword-elf who is the last of her kind. Jodie Turner-Smith was originally cast as Eile but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
The Witcher: Blood Origin is currently in production and is expected to be released in 2022 on Netflix. The series is created by Declan de Barra and Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, who are also executive producers and writers.
The Mysterious AAA RPG
The most mysterious and anticipated project that CD Projekt is working on is a AAA RPG that could be The Witcher 4. The project was first announced in 2019 as part of CD Projekt’s strategy update. The project is described as a “new single-player AAA RPG” that will be developed by a new team within CD Projekt Red.
The project is still in early development and has not been officially confirmed or revealed yet. However, there are some hints and clues that suggest that it could be related to The Witcher franchise. For example, CD Projekt has renewed its license agreement with Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of The Witcher books, which gives them the rights to use his works for video games. CD Projekt has also stated that they want to create more games in The Witcher universe and that they have multiple ideas for new stories and characters.
Some fans speculate that the project could be The Witcher 4, a sequel or a spin-off to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Some fans hope that the project could feature Ciri as the main protagonist, as she can travel between worlds and times. Some fans suggest that the project could be a prequel or a side story that explores other witchers or other regions of the Continent.
The project is expected to be released after 2022, as CD Projekt has stated that they will focus on Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Next Generation Edition until then. The project will be developed using REDengine 4, the latest version of CD Projekt’s proprietary game engine.
The Witcher 4: What We Know So Far
The Witcher is one of the most popular fantasy franchises in the world, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next instalment in the series. CD Projekt Red, the developer of the Witcher games, has confirmed that they are working on a new Witcher game, but they have not released any details about it yet.
Here is everything we know about The Witcher 4 so far:
