The Witcher 4: 5 Reasons It's Coming Sooner Than You Think
3. The Characters
CDPR have numerous possibilities for the direction of the Witcher 4. Characters made the Witcher 3 the generational game it was. They could potentially take a smaller character such as Zoltan Chivay and build the Witcher 4 around them. They have proven their worth in creating original characters throughout the Witcher 3.
The Bloody Baron is the example of this.
He encapsulates CDPR’s ability to create flawed, yet deep characters - ones that extend beyond the trivial video game hero and villain.
A video game set in the Witcher Universe that is separate from the original trilogy could ensure that many put off by The Witcher 3’s already developed story could be welcomed into the series with a new entry. The Witcher 4 offers an unprecedented level of freedom for CDPR, who have undeniably made the franchise their own.
CDPR’s skill at creating compelling, deep, and complex characters ensures they will have numerous directions they can take the Witcher 4 in. They can start entirely fresh or build upon pre-established characters.
Given CDPR’s incredible track record and their undeniable ambition, the appeal of the Witcher 4 will ensure that it happens sooner rather than later.
