Since the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt CD Projekt Red (CDPR) has been busy shifting development to Cyberpunk 2077. CDPR has made it very clear that Cyberpunk 2077, the game that was first revealed back in October 2012, would be the next main project for the studio.
According to CDPR's founder Marcin Iwinski, after crafting swords for 12 years, the team is a bit "burnt out." Regardless of whether or not CDPR wants to pursue new horizons, Wild Hunt is a critically acclaimed addition to the Witcher series making it something hard to let go.
After winning the Game of the Year award for Wild Hunt during last night's Game Awards event CDPR CEO Adam Kicinski was invited to speak with Polish TV station TVN24 BiS (via GamePressure). During the interview Kicinski was asked on whether or not there would be another installation in the series following Wild Hunt.
Kicinski's response could bring hope to fans, but the reality is we wouldn't be seeing a Witcher game any time soon.
It's too early to talk about it, but it's not like we're forgetting about this brand – that's understandable. (…) It wouldn't be fair towards the fans. We work within this universe for over a dozen years now and I don't think it's going to be the end of it.
CDPR is wrapping up Wild Hunt DLC then moving on to Cyberpunk 2077, a game we won't likely see until around 2019. The time span between Witcher 2 and Wild Hunt was about four years and that was CDPR building a world around a series they were working on for over 12 years.
