Whatever it becomes - it’s not The Witcher 4.
A majornew Witcher gameis in development by series developer CD Projekt Red.
Exactly what form this new role-playing “saga” will take, we don’t yet know.
But there are questions to answer nonetheless.
But what does this mean?
But nowhere official was there a Lynx School, until now.
There was a Lynx School mentioned somewhere unofficially though, ona Witcher Fandom Wiki.
To be clear, this is fan fiction.
It’s not legit.
I wonder whether anyone’s fan fiction has ever had such attention paid to it.
I expect CD Projekt Red will disregard all of this and instead create something completely new.
Why is the Lynx School medallion so important?
But if not Geralt, then who?
Is this The Witcher 4?
“I clearly said that Witcher was a trilogy.
It’s a perception thing.
The only other witcher-like character with anything approaching the same level of fame as Geralt is Ciri.
She is of pivotal importance to Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher world.
I know it’s not a lynx, but it’s closer than a wolf.
This brings us to another important question surrounding the lynx medallion though, of “when?”.
The Lynx School needn’t necessarily have been created after the events of The Witcher 3.
It could come from an older time, perhaps even a much older time.
The witchers were created as a result of this.
What if a new Witcher game went back there, to the start of it all?
What if the lynx medallion was among the first ever worn?
I don’t think you could.
But what if, instead, you let players create their own witcher, their own hero?
We would care about them.
It could be called The Witchers, signifying we are all them.
That could be a compelling take.
“Never on my watch!”
he tweeted in reply to a question about it.
Think you could join the team?
Multiplayer is yet to come toCyberpunk 2077, remember.
Should it do very well when it eventually does arrive, perhaps that will change.
The headline news being that this new Witcher saga will be powered by Unreal Engine 5.
More recently, the studio’s smaller projects likeThronebreaker: The Witcher Talesand Gwent were built on Unity.
Internal engine development has always been a key part of the studio’s focus.
“Was that whole demo made with that nefarious purpose?”
said Jason Slama in the short video, grinning.
“I don’t know, but it definitely caught my eye.”
Butas Digital Foundry explores, there’s a lot to lament about the loss of REDengine.
Therefore,we don’t expect the release date of the new Witcher game to be earlier than 2025.
Now that the Cyberpunk 2077 panic-fixes seem to have settled down, perhaps full production can begin.
I can’t wait that long!
Netflix is all over it.
Or you could plough through The Witcher 3 again on any number of platforms, including Switch.
