Ciri most likely won't be a protagonist though. Everything we know so far about the new protagonist is that it won't be Geralt. But when they announced the game they had a graphic with a new medallion that wasn't the same one Ciri was wearing (cat medallion). This implied we may play as a completely new witcher from a school that wasn't featured in books and past games. One of the devs later on also confirmed the animal on this medallion is lynx
Looks like a feline
Maybe the Euroasian Lynx found in Poland

Yeah, this is lynx. I believe one of the devs even confirmed it. There were also some fan theories in the past that snow in that image with a medallion might be teasing the Kovir and Poviss region as a setting which is located on the far northLooks like a feline
Maybe the Euroasian Lynx found in Poland

Cyberpunk managed to go from quite possibly one of the worst AAA game releases of all time to a game that's still getting those sales every month (top 60 on steam as we speak), currently has 20k people playing it after 4 years on the market.
If you believe a new The Witcher game that releases in a good shape, after how huge The Witcher 3 was, with the TV show happening, etc...won't blow past The Wtcher's 3 initial sales...you're mistaken. The Witcher 4 will sell A LOT more than The Witcher 3 in its first few weeks at least.

It might sell more than The Witcher 3 did at launch, but you get my point. The acclaim, the sensation, the long term success, the “story” of it all. GOTY.
It’s very, very likely to not be replicated a 2nd time. I’d love to be wrong though, as TW3 is in my top 5 games of all time.
Also, despite Cyberpunk finally being a decent game after a few years, it’s still nowhere near as ambitious and groundbreaking as CDPR led everyone to believe it would be during the 7 year buildup.
It had Rockstar levels of hype, but didn’t deliver Rockstar levels of quality.
CP2077 is a pretty world. Looks good in screenshots and “RTX 4090 Phycho Ultra” YouTube videos. That’s about it, though.

Thank you for telling me this. I was about to go through the same with this game that i did with No Man's Sky. Game releases in a bad state, but it's corrected only to be called "amazing" and then i buy it and it's still shit...just not as bad...just better than on release date but still nowhere near one of the greats and i end up disappointed.

If they develop in parallel and use a single world design for the first game, might be feasible...They need to reuse a lot of asset to do it.."all three games aimed to be delivered within a 6-year period"

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
It seems like all current western games have a female protagonist by now. Five years or so ago this would have been an interesting choice, but it's 2024 now and I've had enough of the girl boss trope.

I wanna know what's going on with that Witcher 1 remake.

CD Projekt is outsourcing it to Fool's Theory, a Polish studio which has devs who worked on the original Witcher 1. It's apparently in very early stages of development and planned to be released after Polaris (Witcher 4 or however it will be called). Earlier this year Fool's Theory wrapped up work on their last game (The Thaumaturge) and started focusing on Witcher 1 remake
