Video game developers change staff frequently, but one of CD Projekt Red’s CEOs has said that a significant portion of The Witcher 3’s development staff is still intact.
This coming May marks the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3. Besides being a stark reminder of the passage of time, it’s also a reminder that it’s been 10 years since CD Projekt Red last made a Witcher game. . The developer has obviously been busy in the meantime, preparing DLC ​​and a game called Cyberpunk 2077. The release of this game was not mentioned in the slightest by anyone, but when so much time passes, questions always arise. How do you make it anymore? A similar question could be asked about Dragon Age: The Veilguard. That was okay because there was a 10 year gap between Inquisition and so will The Witcher 4!

CD Projekt Red has also experienced three rounds of layoffs in three months in 2023, so it would be understandable if you were a little worried that there weren’t enough developers on the The Witcher 3 team. However, earlier this week, co-CEO Michal Nowakowski shared a tweet referencing the game’s upcoming 10th anniversary, writing: “The Witcher 3 turns 10 this May. We have about 100 developers working with us to this day. Some of the people working on new projects, including The Witcher 4, are actually veterans of The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 1, which I respect a lot. I have been with the series ever since.”

So even if you’re a little grumpy about Ciri being the main character now (c’mon, that’s always been the case, right?), there will at least be some carryover from the previous title. Let’s ignore how long we’ll be waiting, considering that production started in November.
