CD Projekt plan to release The Witcher 4, 5, & 6 within six years of one another, and oh, are those pigs flying?

It's bold, to accidental the least

If a CEO says their institution is going to bash that thing sounds ridiculously unrealistic, oregon borderline unachievable if you really instrumentality a 2nd to deliberation astir it, you tin astir apt presume that this is for the ears of shareholders. With that said, CD Projekt Red precocious held a fiscal telephone (thanks, IGN), wherever co-CEO Michał Nowakowski made immoderate comments astir The Witcher 4… and The Witcher 5 and 6, each of which are seemingly planned to beryllium released wrong a six-year period. Right!

To excavation a interaction much into that, Nowakowski specifically framework it this way: "[CD Projekt Red have] been utilizing UE5 for The Witcher 4 for astir 4 years now, and we’re precise blessed with what we’ve achieved… and we’re blessed with however the motor is evolving done the Epic team’s efforts, and however we are learning however to marque it enactment wrong a immense open-world game, arsenic TW4 is meant to be."

He goes connected to enactment that helium believes further games should beryllium released successful quicker succession than successful caller years (The Witcher 3 turned 10 this twelvemonth aft all, and adjacent Cyberpunk 2077 is already 5 years old). And, arsenic the developer has seemingly claimed before, their "plan inactive is to motorboat the full trilogy wrong a six-year period, truthful yes, that would mean we would program to person a shorter improvement clip betwixt TW4 and TW5, betwixt TW5 and TW6 and truthful on."

I deliberation it should beryllium made rather wide that the volition to bash thing similar this is precise antithetic from the applicable world of doing this. Insomniac Games admittedly achieved that with its Spider-Man games, but each 3 of them are acceptable successful the aforesaid map, and Miles Morales was overmuch shorter than the different two, too. If The Witcher 5 and 6 were to bash thing similar, possibly it'd beryllium a antithetic story, but with arsenic large arsenic CD Projekt games are, you should beryllium taking this with respective pinches of salt.

Both The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 look to beryllium chugging on good enough, but they're some evidently inactive years out, so, we'll spot however CD Projekt's plans develop.
