At this point just about everyone is aware of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's success, both critically and commercially. It's very much set the bar for role-playing games going forward, but will we ever see another Witcher title now that Geralt's story is over? Developer CD Projekt Red can't seem to give a definitive answer just yet.
The topic was brought up following the studio's latest management meeting and "We like this world a lot. We invested 15 years of our lives in it and a lot of money. So, we'll think about [making a fourth Witcher game]," was its response.
Right now, the developer is hard at work on Gwent: The Witcher Card Game and Cyberpunk 2077, so even if it does return to The Witcher's grim fantasy world, it won't be for a while. Still, we could definitely see it happening down the line; the third game's level of success is surely too difficult to ignore.
Would you be up for another Witcher game, even if Geralt missed out on the action? Hunt some monsters in the comments section below.

Could be Ciri or next gen Witcher based game~
They were always talking sh*te when they waffled on that it'd be the last, get real. That's like Rockstar saying GTAV would be the last in the franchise.
That would be awesome.. and bring Leo Bonhart somehow in so I could destroy this bastard in the game, then load it again and destroy him again
Let's hope they're not announcing the Witcher Andromeda
I need another Witcher game. Perhaps the next game will allow for custom character creator. Imagine, every player Witcher will be uniquely their own. Also need Game+++. And also Dyes! Not only on Armors but also on weapons and stuff. And Photo Mode is a MUST this tme round.
Witcher 4 with zelda open world idea would be cool do the game in any order and make the world feel alive
Ciri.
I'd play that. Ciri's super badass.
@tonyp1987 so... an elder scrolls game...
I do not understand people thinking the new Zelda game is at all original.
Ubisoft with a touch of Morrowind. Zzz
I'll have to open and play my copy of The Witcher 3 at some point and then let you know if I want another one
I'd love another game playing as Geralt but Ciri would be cool. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do with Cyberpunk, though.
@TheGZeus i didn't think zelda was orignal idea but i do think they improved on the idea which would make zelda better than elder scrolls. Imo zelda world feels alive and the world can be your enemy or your friend if you pay attention to the small details. Like i said its imo off what i think of zelda
I feel Geralt deserves his retirement and to spend his days naked with his 'ship of your choosing.
SPOILER!!
Me? Oh, he's with Yennefer. And no way Ciri can come back even though she'd be awesome.
@GAMINGLORY I think making your own Witcher would be the way to go.
@tonyp1987 Nothing I've seen makes it seem "alive" any more than any other open world game.
The lore is thin, so the context amounts to "Ganon messed things up so now some skeletons and not-robots".
It's inconsistent and unrealistic.
Enemies everywhere with weapons, but who were they fighting? You seem to be the only one. Why don't the weapons break for them?
Zelda has exactly two "open world" games, and the first is hardly 'alive'.
If you like the new game, great. Just don't act like it's anything new. "This game should copy a copy of a copy" is silly.
Oh, and it's hard to respect the opinion of someone with that avatar. Says a lot about you and your tastes.
@starhops no way Ciri can come back? Last I checked she was hunting monsters to the north.
@starhops
New Witcher game with full character creation..?Breathing significantly intensifies..
Let me plough everything
I would be all for a Ciri game.
@TheGZeus With 32 possible endings, I suppose they could use Ciri as a main after all. You can pretty much just pick one ending to continue. Well, since they no longer "make" witchers, maybe Ciri would be a good choice. Regardless, I'm game for ANY new Witcher game.
They'll be one but it'll well into the PS5 lifespan.
With the amount of lore available, it wouldn't be hard. So many other cities to explore, lots of other Witcher guilds to look at. Basing it around the fall of the Cat guild and their penchant for assassination would be cool, whether or not you get to create a custom character. They should let it breath a little though. Think about it after Cyberpunk.
I can see the next witcher game being open world like wild hunt but with a character editor. Even could pick your own witcher faction, wolf, cat, ursine, so on and so forth
