The Witcher 4 Map Size To Be ‘More or Less The Same’ As The Witcher 3

Expert Verified By

CDPR Has Also Promised 'Quality Over Quantity.'

Story Highlight
  • CDPR confirmed in an interview that The Witcher 4 features map size and the number of quests similar to The Witcher 3.
  • The game is aiming to have more or less the same scope as its predecessor, but it will focus on quality over quantity.
  • The project itself is aiming to be bigger compared to other entries that CDPR has released so far.

After the main event, the game reveals things like The Witcher 4 stole the spotlight of TGA this year. The high-end visuals—provided they were rendered by a 32 GB RTX 5090—also appealed to fans. Many were intrigued by the game’s new protagonist, Ciri, while others disliked the change. Now, the studio has come forward to provide more insight into The Witcher 4’s exact scope compared to the last title.

CDPR game director Sebastian Kalemba and executive producer Gosia Mitrega have claimed that the RPG has a map size that is ‘more or less the same’ as The Witcher 3. 

Why it matters: CD Projekt Red has clarified that The Witcher 4 will have a similar scope to its predecessors, with a similar world map size and amount of quests. Assurances of ‘quality over quantity’ were also made.

In a video interview with YouTuber Skill Up (around 1:13:45), CDPR clarifies The Witcher 4 will have nearly the same amount of quests as its predecessor to bring a ‘super compelling experience.’ However, they’ve also promised to focus on ‘quality over quantity’ to ensure the world doesn’t feel bland.

 Again, quality over quantity. But definitely, […] It’s going to be big compared to everything we’ve prepared so far.

Previously, CDPR has also confirmed that The Witcher 4 is targeting a whole new and wider audience, and it is aiming to be the studio’s most advanced title ever.

The Witcher 4
No release date or window has been announced for The Witcher 4.

All in all, The Witcher 4 is likely years away, as the game barely entered full production a couple of months ago. Additionally, CDPR wants to avoid the disaster of Cyberpunk 2077’s launch at every cost

Do you think The Witcher 4’s open world will feel lively despite having such a massive size, or are we potentially in for a bland experience? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the official Tech4Gamers forum.
