CD Projekt Red revealed its development team assigned to The Witcher 4 (codename Polaris) has a current roster of 403 developers, exceeding the target size and entering the production phase. While still in pre-production, the new mainline Witcher game is poised to enter full production in the second half of the year.

CD Projekt Red’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting a direct sequel in the form of a comic book instead of another video game.

CD Projekt Red has offered an update on the status of its next Witcher game, hinting that the project may be at least a couple of years away from release.

As a result, there’s a bit more marketing and interviews popping up about the title and what fans can expect. Recently, Game Informer spoke with some of the folks behind Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. During their conversation, it was unveiled that The Witcher 3 played a significant role in where developers were taking inspiration.

March 13, 2023, was a very good day for PC Gamer associate editor Ted Litchfield. Because on that day, CD Projekt finally fixed the grass shadows in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, meaning he could finally enjoy the game the way it was meant to be.
