The process is accelerating for the new The Witcher
According to CD Projekt CEO Adam Kiciński, the team working on Cyberpunk 2077’s upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion is currently the largest team, but that will soon change. According to the statements, the Phantom Liberty team consists of 300 people, while the development team of Polaris, that is, the new The Witcher game, consists of 260 people. Kiciński also announced that they will transfer most of the team to Polaris after releasing Phantom Liberty.
CD Projekt announced that this game, codenamed Polaris, entered the pre-production process in May of last year, and in October it was the beginning of a new Witcher trilogy. According to the company, the new trilogy will be released within six years of the first game. However, for now, there is no information about the release date of the next Witcher game. Considering that AAA games are completed in a minimum of 3 years, we can say that the game can be released in 2026 with the best guess.
