Technical ambition, optimism, and timeframes: what we learned about The Witcher 4 from speaking to CD Projekt Red


In more than a year of conversations with CD Projekt, Eurogamer has picked up a few hints at what we can expect for The Witcher 4 and its reveal.

"I know a lot of people are curious about it, so I'll try to explain," CDPR's vice president of technology, Charles Tremblay told me earlier this year, wryly joking that the decision has been a "very polarising question in general, for the company and for everyone". This is a new process CDPR brought in as part of its response to the Cyberpunk launch, with the studio allowing more time for pre-production, and conducting regular reviews on whether the technology is ready for each individual project to move forward - including, in some cases, delaying that step where necessary. "There's no magic, only hard work and making sure you stay on the right course" Sticking with inferences, there's also one more bit of information we might be able to glean, this time from a conversation with joint CEO Michał Nowakowski.
