Two years ago, the developers of The Witcher 3 released a next-gen update that introduced ray tracing and high-resolution textures. Alongside these upgrades, the game received a new quest, allowing Geralt to obtain gear inspired by the Netflix series.
Philipp Weber, narrative director for The Witcher 4, revealed that the quest was created by the designers and writers working on the next installment. For them, it served as a warm-up for crafting a large-scale game.
2 years ago we released a new quest for The Witcher 3. New designers and writers worked on it preparing for the Witcher 4, together with one of our most senior quest designers, who is with us since The Witcher 1. All in all, it was the perfect start to getting back into the vibe.
As a reminder, The Witcher 4 does not yet have a release date. CD Projekt RED has shared a cinematic teaser trailer, which you can watch here.
