Many of us had assumed that CD Projekt Red would move away from Geralt being the lead character with its new trilogy. However, the game director on The Witcher 4 has now teased Geralt's return.

In an interview with Italian site Lega Nerd (via insider-gaming), Witcher game director, Sebastian Kalemba said: “I believe I can say it'll be an excellent entry point for many players, without forgetting the long-time fans who still wish to follow Geralt's adventures”.

That seems to be a pretty clear indicator that Geralt will still be around in this new Witcher trilogy. Whether or not he is the main playable character remains to be seen.

CD Projekt Red is currently developing The Witcher 4 (unofficial title) under the codename ‘Polaris', utilising Unreal Engine 5. The team working on the game has grown a lot this year as development on Cyberpunk 2077 started to wind down. Still, the game is not expected to release for several years.

KitGuru Says: While I'm not expecting to still be playing as Geralt full-time, I would be extremely happy to see CD Projekt Red continue to centre the games around him.
