Back in March 2022, CD Projekt announced that a new Witcher game was in development, which we eventually came to know as Project Polaris. We immediately called it The Witcher 4—it's the one coming after The Witcher 3, so it just made sense—but CD Projekt made a point of saying it had not announced "a game called The Witcher 4."
"It was our initial confirmation of a new saga in The Witcher franchise," global PR director Radek Grabowski tweeted at the time. "Right now, we are not discussing any specifics in terms or story, characters, mechanics, or plot details."
