CD Projekt has confirmed that the first game in the new Witcher trilogy — codenamed Polaris — will come before The Witcher Remake.There may yet be no hint of a release date for that influx of new Witcher games, but we do at least now know that Polaris, the first game of a new Witcher trilogy, will be out before The Witcher Remake.The Witcher Remake will come out after the first game of the new Witcher trilogyIn the transcript of CD Projekt’s financial results conference for Q3 2022, president and joint CEO Adam Kiciński answered a question about the timeline for CD Projekt’s future Witcher games. “As for the remake, and when it will come out — it will come after Polaris, which is a consequence of how we view this project,” Kiciński says. “The remake will be largely based on technologies used in Polaris, so development will proceed in parallel with Polaris, but once Polaris is launched, its base technologies will be ready for partial reuse in the remake. But we are not saying whether Sirius will come before or after Polaris — only that these three Witcher games will be the first games we’re going to launch in our pipeline; that’s all I can say for now.”Before that, Kiciński answered a question about Project Sirius, the codename for a game set in the Witcher universe which sounds as though it will be an entirely different affair, and which will offer both a single-player and multiplayer experience. Talking about Sirius, Kiciński says, “we are not guiding on this game when it comes to its size or what type of game it is; we only stated that it would be accessible to a broader audience. There’s a very clear business purpose to this: we have to prepare ourselves to communicate more information around this project when the time comes. As the product is different than anything we’ve released so far, we have to be sure that gamers can understand what the game is about — this is why we’re not describing what kind of game it is, or what its size will be.”As for what’s nearer on the horizon for Witcher fans, the Xbox Series X|S upgrade for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt arrives on December 14th.
