Following director Sebastian Kalemba’s announcement thatThe Witcher 4has now"entered the full-scale production phase"and an accompanying teaser, fans have entered a theorizing frenzy about Project Polaris' potential plot.
The long-awaited fourth Witcher entry fromCD Projekt Redis in the works, but its plot still largely remains a mystery. That’s why the community takes any teaser it can get and does its best to decipher all possible pointers to the new installment’s story, as is happening now thanks to Kalemba’spostfeaturing a mysterious image of coins. Inspired by the picture, fans are taking to online forums likeRedditto discuss the coins' unknown meaning.
“What do these coins mean?“asks one such fan. “Looks like a sun eclipse for me. I guess it’s hinting at Curse of Black Sun and a prequel during Falka’s Rebellion,” answers another.
One theorizes that the coins point to “the Conjunction of the Spheres,” the cataclysm that first brought monsters like ghouls, graveirs, and vampires into The Witcher’s dimension. Others simply joke that “these are the coins that were tossed to the Witcher.”
Regardless of its plot, it seems that it’s a better time now to be a Witcher stan than ever withupcoming CD Projekt Red gameslike The Witcher 4 in full swing. There’s also the codenamedProject Sirius, a Witcher game that developers say will “differ from past productions” at CDPR. A new story is underway fromThe Witcher books' author Andrzej Sapkowski as well, coming over a decade after the beloved series' last title was released.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
