CD Projekt Red Says That Medallion Is A Lynx, Implying There’s A New Witcher School

CD Projekt Red officially revealed that it was working on the next installment in its popular Witcher series and that it would be the start of “a new saga.” It also released a new image to go with this news and while it looked somewhat familiar in that it featured a silver medallion, not at all unlike the Wolf medallion of the Witcher school Geralt is associated with in the first three Witcher games, it was definitely not a Wolf medallion. 

CD Projekt Red confirms the new announcement. Eurogamer that the medallion is a lynx, which implies the existence of a new (or different) Witcher school that we haven’t yet seen in the canon, both in the games and the books they’re based on. 

“Ok, some mysteries should not be so mysterious,” CD Projekt Red global communication director Rober Malinowski told Eurogamer. “I can confirm that the medallion is, in fact, shaped after a lynx.” 

It was noted that no Lynx school ever existed in The Witcher Canon. The only time a Lynx school ever existed was in fan fiction, where witcher Lambert and the sorceress Kiera metz went south to find it after The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. They joined the Cat school, and later turned it into the Lynx School. Now, of course, this is just fan fiction so there’s no word on whether CD Projekt Red is adapting this story or if it has its own plans for the Lynx school. 

Considering this new Witcher game is the start of a new saga, it’s not surprising the studio is seemingly leaving Geralt and the Wolf school behind to create something new. Ciri may have something to do the Lynx school. It could be that she invented it in the wake of The Witcher. We will never know for sure, but we now have confirmation that this medallion is made of lynx.
