Earlier this year The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was finally released. The game was just as massive as promised, and luckily also as good as suggested beforehand. This was the result of years upon years of hard work for the developers over at CD Projekt Red, who are now taking a much needed break from the series:
"It [The Witcher franchise] deserves some rest," CD Projekt Red's Marcin Iwinski explains. "The past 10 years the team has been working on swords and castles and medieval Slavic monsters. So I think it's time for some guns, androids, and some ammo. And a necropolis. So this is what we'll be working on. We definitely are not annualising a franchise or anything-it's about the experience. The world of The Witcher is gigantic and it's great to tell these stories, but I don't know when this will happen."
The guns and androids he's referring to are most certainly the guns and androids found in the studio's next game, the futuristic action roleplaying game Cyberpunk 2077. The release date for that project is not known yet, but either way it would appear Geralt of Rivia can rest easy, at least for the foreseeable future.
