When we say The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we have come to the end of Geralt’s long and adventurous adventure. This series, which offers us many unforgettable stories, characters and experiences, will no longer focus on Geralt’s story . In short, we will set sail on a new journey with a new main character with the new Witcher game.
Although no details are yet clear, including who this new main character will be and what time period the game will be about, we have explained at length everything we want to see with the new Witcher game. In addition, we would like to warn that we have gone into the depths of the Witcher universe in our article and that our article may contain some spoilers about Witcher books . So let’s move on to our content.
Let’s start with what we don’t want first: A new case of Cyberpunk
CD Projekt Red, which made a huge impact in the game world with The Witcher series and won the hearts of many players, had a great fiasco with Cyberpunk 2077, which has become one of the most anticipated games of all time. Although we can say that the current state of the game is much better than its release and most of its errors have been corrected and become playable, it seems that it will never be able to completely get rid of its negative popularity.
We would never want the new The Witcher game to face such a situation. We hope that CD Projekt has learned from all the mistakes it made with Cyberpunk 2077 and has started to move forward not to repeat these mistakes again. Because the new Witcher game may be CD Projekt’s last chance to redeem itself by forgiving players.
Let’s come to the most striking point: The time period in which the main story of the game will pass.
The Witcher universe is bigger than it looks. Although this world, full of dark elements and intrigue, focuses more on the story of Geralt of Rivia, it contains many interesting characters and deep stories. For example, Leo Bonhart. Bonhart, a ruthless professional bounty hunter, appeared a lot in the books and came to the fore with his sadistic personality. Although we have been told that witchers are ruthless beings and that they are much more skilled in sword fighting than an ordinary person, Bonhart has killed many witchers alone and even made a collection of medallions.
The universe is not limited to such characters. The story of Kovir and Poviss , which is a country that Triss Merigold mentioned many times, is also quite impressive in the games. Quite impressive adventures can be made, including the declaration of independence of Kovir and Poviss, which are affiliated to Redania, and remaining as a neutral trading country full of riches, as well as the fact that Redania surprises Redania by confronting the occupying forces with a huge army.
We can say that Kovir and Poviss are the best candidates to be the country where the new Witcher game will take place, as a completely neutral country and hesitant to get involved in the war of Nilfgaard and the Nordic countries. Because we have witnessed the war of Nilfgaard and the North a lot, both in the books and in CD Projekt’s Witcher series. In CD Projekt’s Witcher trilogy; While there are many countries we haven’t seen yet, including Ofir, Zerrikanya, Rivya and Vengerberg – we saw some of them with Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, but we are talking about the main games – we think Kovir is the most suitable potential candidate.
This is because we speculate that CD Projekt Red has plans for Kovir, which it often mentions with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Also, aren’t you tired of constantly seeing Nilfgaard’s plan to take over the world and make him his subjects? That’s why we expect CD Projekt to take us away from this mess a little bit with the new Witcher game and give the biggest focus to our character’s story. It is worth noting that the coin found in the announcement image of the new Witcher game belongs to the Lynx School (verified by a CD Projekt employee) and that such a school does not exist in the Witcher universe – except for a story created by fans.
Fix the shortcomings: A darker and more technically advanced game
When we say dark, you may first think of dark caves, which are abundant in Witcher 3. We’re not talking about that kind of darkness. Imagine that after the union of the spheres, many creatures roam this universe and we haven’t even met half of them in the games. The new Witcher game, which we predict will be a much higher level job with Unreal Engine 5, can increase the dose of fear in the game with these creatures.
It is more possible than ever to create a gameplay experience that will make you feel the cruelty of the universe and atmosphere, and the helplessness of the endless war. Although Kovir is one of the countries that has the least of these elements, there is no way the whole game will take place in Kovir. Just like in Witcher 3, we are likely to travel to many different regions.
Although The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is considered one of the most successful games ever and is the second most awarded game in the game world, we all know that it has a long way to go technically. Many mechanics and animations in the game, including riding, fighting, walking and running, need to be overhauled and made much better.
The Witcher 3 is largely a role-playing game and what makes it stand out is; Although we know that there are characters, dialogues, voiceovers, music, atmosphere, universe, story, mission structure and many more details, we want to see a more advanced game with the new Witcher game .
Let’s all be your voice: Please don’t touch the side quests
Today, when it comes to open world; We envision fetch jobs, headquarters capture, and hundreds of repetitive side activities that lack any depth, just designed to allow the player to spend a little more time in the game. The Witcher 3 is a game with dozens of side activities. So what sets it apart from those boring side activities we just talked about?
In addition to simple activities such as destroying monster lairs, collecting Gwent cards and going on treasure hunts, the depth of the side quests in Witcher 3 is very important. These important side missions, which have many different endings, including the choices you make, are designed in the quality of a main mission . We also hope that CD Projekt Red continues to maintain this quality of side quests with the new Witcher game. These adventures, where we feel ourselves in adventures like the main task and witness the weight of the decisions we make, are one of the things the company does best.
Who would object to that?: More GWENT!
Originally conceived as a side game within The Witcher 3, Gwent became so popular that it even got its own separate online game . Gwent, which you can play for free on PC, iOS and Android devices, naturally has a much more detailed and different structure than we saw in Witcher 3. When we say Gwent in Witcher 3, GWENT: The Witcher Card Game and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, even though we have a lot of Gwent content, would it be selfish if we wanted more?
It would be really nice to see a much more advanced version of Gwent, which we saw in Witcher 3 with the new Witcher game. We also know that CD Projekt has developed a new single player game under the name Project Golden Nekker, featuring Gwent, and its release is planned towards the end of this year . This mentioned game will not be a game in the style of Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales and will offer a different story Gwent experience.
As of now, we have come to the end of our article, where we have compiled everything we expect from the new Witcher game. We look forward to your thoughts and expectations about the new Witcher game in the comments.
