CD Projekt shocked the gaming community, when it confirmed that it would make a new witcher game. In the statement, CD Projekt posted a mysterious photo: a medallion hidden in the snow.
The meager amount of data is enough for “plum residence” to conjecture. At first glance, the cat-like appearance makes many people think that the main character of The Witcher 4 will come from a special witcher school. Specializing in raising female witchers and non-Human children, the new game promises a new direction.
After looking closely, it seems that this feline animal has rather pointed ears…
That is the data that makes the “lynx” speculation floating on many social networks. However, many sides objected, saying that the witcher school was just a product adapted by fans, not part of the main plot.
CD Projekt RED’s global director of community has quashed doubts in a new Twitter post. Responding to gamers who said that the locket looked like a lynx, Marcin Momot said “nod” with a GIF.
Momot’s meaningful nod prompted him to explain to PC Gamer, that he agreed with Twitter users’ comments that the creature that inspired the design of the locket was the lynx. Marcin Momot indirectly confirmed that the school founded by the witcher Lambert and the witch Keira Metz, both characters appearing in The Witcher game series, exists in the The Witcher world created by CD Projekt.
At a time when a new game is in its early stages of development, it’s hard to believe in such an aimless “tweet”. An animation does not make the decision to make a game absolutely solid, there will be many changes that will exist for many years to come.
The success of The Witcher series in general and The Witcher 3 in particular more or less reassured gamers. CD Projekt RED knows what to do with a game set in the witcher world, having learned new lessons from the (recovering) failure of Cyberpunk 2077, they have a new chance to develop another masterpiece .
7 years after the release of The Witcher 3, gamers still find a mystery that is carefully hidden by the developer.
CD Projekt RED has recognized the limitations of REDengine, the homegrown game engine, and is looking for a new horizon. Teaming up with Epic, the father of Unreal Engine, CD Projekt RED will make The Witcher 4 on the Unreal Engine 5 platform, known for its ability to create realistic images and simulate realistic physical effects.
The handshake with Epic may have made some gamers feel uneasy, but CD Projekt was quick to reassure the community. They announced The Witcher 4 will not be sold exclusively on any retail platform.
