The Witcher 4 is upon us! Sure, we’ve got the massive, vast world of Cyberpunk 2077 to make it through first– which will not take place overnight– however we now know that designer CD Projekt RED is gearing up to develop a brand-new The Witcher game as its next title.

The worst thing CD Projekt RED could do at this point would be to try and angle development of The Witcher 4 around decisions made in the TELEVISION program. The Net
