“The next game we do will not be smaller, and it will not be worse,” CD Projekt vice president of technology Charles Tremblaytold Eurogamer. “It will be better, bigger, greater than The Witcher 3, it will be better than Cyberpunk because for us, it’s unacceptable [tolaunch so abysmally].”
“We don’t want to go back,” Tremblay continued.
Still, Tremblay’s comments will undoubtedly invigorate some The Witcher fans; The Witcher 3 is an approximately 50-hour game, and it offers a fantasy open-world that often looks like a heavenly painting. Anything bigger and better than that seems like no less of a miracle than creating the universe.
“Even if there will be some ‘sweaty moments’ and maybe even some bad stuff happening,” Tremblay said about The Witcher 4, “I think that we will try everything we can to make it even more than what we achieved in the past years.”
