CDPR Wants To Ensure The Witcher 4 Has Its Own Unique Identity

Expert Verified By

"We Don't Want To Copy Our Own Tricks All Over Again."

Story Highlight
  • CDPR says it doesn’t want to use the same bag of tricks it used for The Witcher 3 again.
  • The Witcher 4 and all future projects will introduce new elements and maintain their unique identity.
  • This will be the company’s policy moving forward, despite its RPG-only focus.

The Witcher 3, released in 2015, set a new benchmark for the industry to follow. Ten years down the line, it’s still considered the gold standard for open-world RPGs. Despite the enormous success, CDPR says it wants to approach The Witcher 4 in a different way.

The Polish gaming giants say that despite the commercial and critical success of The Witcher 3, they want to add something new to The Witcher 4 to give the title its own unique identity, which sets it apart from the prequel. 

Why it matters: CDPR has already revealed that having Ciri as the new Witcher gives them new creative choices, and player freedom is a focal point for its next release, so we can already expect many new things with the sequel. 

The Witcher 4
CDPR aims to give The Wutcher 4 its own unique identity.

Speaking with the AnsweRED podcast, joint CEO Adam Badowski revealed that, initially, after The Witcher 3’s success, they wanted to adopt the same approach for all their future titles. However, they want to add new things to each release. 

We don’t want to copy our own tricks all over again and again. So every game should consist of something new.

CD Projekt RED Cyberpunk 2077 The Witcher 3
CD Projekt RED wants to give new elements to all its future games, despite still focusing on RPGs only.

He said the studio doesn’t want to copy its tricks to all its games; therefore, The Witcher 4 and all other future releases will always have something new to give them their unique identity. And this is a general rule for the company. 

Nonetheless, CDPR remains entirely focused on RPG games, despite other genres also attracting their interest. Recently, The Witcher 3 hit a massive 60 million units sold, and overall, CDPR is one of the most stable AAA studios in the industry.
