The Witcher 4: 5 Reasons It's Coming Sooner Than You Think
4. The Witcher TV Show
The upcoming Witcher TV series has the potential to be huge. The financial support of Netflix, and the big-name attraction that is Henry Cavil could fire the Witcher franchise into unprecedented levels of popularity.
Ultimately, it is a perfect situation for CDPR. The success of the TV show is relevant towards a potential Witcher 4 but not reliant on it. It offers a superb opportunity for the Witcher Franchise to expand to a wider audience.
The Witcher TV show releases in late 2019 and it should be a successful and well-established show by the time the Witcher 4 could be set for release. It makes perfect sense for CDPR to capitalise on the success of the TV show, whilst introducing current and potential fans to a vast array of new characters. This only adds to the creative opportunity of the Witcher 4.
The TV shows fundamental role in aiding the Witcher 4 is by expanding the Witcher Universe and its lore. The Witcher 3 successfully focused strongly on Geralt.
However, the focus for the Witcher 4 must be on the world itself, and the intricacies that define it. The TV show allows for the expansion of the Witcher’s greatest asset, its universe, and that will only widen the appeal of the Witcher 4 to CDPR, and the fans.
