In what is quite a lofty goal, CD Projekt Red are currently intending to release three Witcher games in a six-year period.

    Witcher 1 was 2007, 2 2011, and 3 was 2015. 9 years and some MASSIVE engine changes in between. TW1 was essentially a Neverwinter Nights mod. 2 and especially 3 made MASSIVE changes and, as of CP2077, they are an Unreal Engine house. CP2077 being 2020.

    I think it is very optimistic. I also think it is feasible if they are stabilizing on an engine and have an arc planned out. I would… expect closer to 8 or 9 years but it is plausible.

    And yeah… I could easily see it as 6 years of just trying to fix the bugs in 4.

    I mean, yeah it’s 100% possible. Especially if they’re just gonna stick to UE and not care too much if there’s optimization issues.

    The thing is, why? Why for any of this? Wouldn’t they make more money doing like two DLCs for each of them, giving them a bit more polish and post-launch touch ups, doing like a GOTY re-release, just really milk each game like they did Witcher 3? What’s the rush for? Are they trying to speedrun to beat the end of Western civilization?
