Four new Witcher games are in development, CD Projekt Red confirms

CD Projekt Red revealed Tuesday that in addition to Unreal Engine 5’s previously-announced Witcher sequel, four more Witcher games will be released.

This is the first post-The Witcher 3 game, now codenamed “Polaris,” will be followed by two more sequels as part of a trilogy. A CDPR strategy document states that all three games would be available within six years after release of the original. Two additional Witcher games, codenamed “Sirius” and “Canis Majoris,” will be created by The Flood and the Flame developer The Molasses Flood and an unnamed external studio headed by “experienced developers who have worked on past Witcher games,” respectively.

Not much is known about “Sirius” or “Canis Majoris” at this time. The Witcher Universe is the setting for this title. The multiplayer experience will include single-player gameplay, as well as a story-driven campaign and quests. The latter is described as a “full-fledged Witcher game.” There are several studios that could fit the description of “Canis Majoris”’ developer — including Rebel Wolves, which was founded by Witcher 3Director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz resigned from CD Projekt Red. However, nothing has been confirmed.

Both games will be separate from the new Witcher saga set to begin with the release of “Polaris.”

CD Projekt Red also announced the release of a second album. Cyberpunk 2077.
