Following director Sebastian Kalemba's announcement that The Witcher 4 has now "entered the full-scale production phase" and an accompanying teaser, the community has wondered whether the new RPG will live up to its predecessor's stellar reputation - but CD Projekt Red says it isn't "out to beat" The Witcher 3.
Speaking in a recent response to a fan online, narrative director Philipp Weber explains in a post that the upcoming game's developers aren't looking to "beat" The Witcher 3 - they're just hoping to "live up to that legacy" left by the beloved 2015 RPG. "We're not out to beat it, since we're still so proud of what we did then," writes Weber. Instead of focusing on living up to expectations set by the series' last game, devs are trying to make "the best" one they can.
