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

CD Projekt Red revealed in a series tweets Tuesday that in addition to Unreal Engine 5’s previously announced Witcher 2 sequel, four additional Witcher games will be released.

First postWitcher 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.”

Not much is known about “Sirius” or “Canis Majoris” at this time. The Witcher Universe is the setting for this title. It will offer multiplayer gaming along with a single-player experience. The campaign includes quests and a story-driven campaign. The latter is described as a “full-fledged Witcher game.” Both games will be separate from the new Witcher saga set to begin with the release of “Polaris.”
