The Witcher 4 is in Production Phase
The Witcher 4 marks the beginning of a new saga in the Witcher universe and is part of a planned trilogy of AAA RPG games. The Witcher 4 will be built on Unreal Engine 5, a departure from the RED Engine used in previous titles.
Pre production is underway, but the release date is at least three years away, with the studio emphasizing the need for extra effort due to technological advancements and engine transition. While the official title is yet to be announced, it’s commonly referred to as The Witcher 4 until further details emerge.
During CD Projekt’s fiscal year 2023 earnings conference, interesting revelations surfaced regarding the highly awaited Witcher 4 known internally as Polaris. It was disclosed that the game has now become the focal point of the company’s development efforts, set to transition into full-fledged production by the latter half of the year. Particularly noteworthy is the progress achieved by the Polaris development team, which currently boasts a roster of 403 developers, surpassing the anticipated size required for the production phase.
As previously hinted by developers, The Witcher 4 won’t be another type of The Witcher 3. CD Projekt has also shared updates on other Witcher projects.
