The Witcher 4, also known as Project Polaris, has entered full-scale production, according to CD Projekt. This marks a significant milestone in the game’s development, as the team has completed the preproduction phase and is now focusing on the most intensive phase of production.
The transition to full-scale production was confirmed by joint CEO Michał Nowakowski in a statement accompanying the Q3 2024 earnings report. Nowakowski expressed pride in the team’s progress and thanked them for their dedication to the project. Game director Sebastian Kalemba also shared his excitement about the upcoming challenges and the talented team working on the new Witcher Saga.
While details about The Witcher 4 are still scarce, it has been confirmed that the game will not focus on Geralt of Rivia. Actor Doug Cockle, who voices Geralt, revealed earlier this year that the character would be a part of the new game but not the main focus. Fans can expect a new story in the Witcher universe with a different protagonist.
In addition to the Witcher news, CD Projekt also provided updates on its other titles. Cyberpunk 2077 has now sold over 30 million copies, with the Phantom Liberty expansion selling an additional 5 million copies. The company is pleased with the dedicated community that has formed around Cyberpunk games and is grateful for the support.
Furthermore, CD Projekt announced a new Netflix animated series set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe following the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The studio has plans to expand the Cyberpunk universe through different media and engage with fans in new and exciting ways.
While Cyberpunk 2077 is set to launch for Mac next year, there are no plans for a PS5 Pro update. The focus remains on delivering the best possible experience for players on all platforms.
Overall, CD Projekt is making significant progress on The Witcher 4 and other projects, and fans can look forward to more updates and announcements in the future. Stay tuned for more details on the upcoming Witcher Saga and the expanding Cyberpunk universe.
