The new Witcher game is in development along with The Witcher 4

CD Projekt has announced that a completely different game associated with the The Witcher franchise is in development alongside Witcher 4. Earlier this year, CD Projekt confirmed that it would be developing a fourth major game in its Witcher series that would mark the start of a “new saga for the franchise.” And while this game is referred to simply as Witcher 4 By fans at the moment, it appears that another major entry in the series is also being developed at an overseas studio.

Confirmed As part of a new message from CD Projekt today, the publisher revealed that the title associated with The Witcher is currently being manufactured outside of CD Projekt Red. This game, codenamed Canis Majoris, is said to be completely separate from Witcher 4. Despite this, CD Projekt still describes it as a “complete Witcher game,” which seems to suggest it could have a lot in common with the three main entries in the RPG series. CD Projekt did not mention the studio that makes this game, but it did reveal that the project is being managed by developers who have worked with The Witcher in the past.

In total, this means that three games related to The Witcher are now in active development at the same time. Outside Witcher 4 (codenamed Polaris) and Canis Majoris, studio Molasses Flood is also working on a new game set within this same universe. CD Projekt explained that this game will be very different from the other Witcher titles and will include multiplayer elements.

With The Witcher emerging as a property over the past decade, it’s not too surprising to see that CD Projekt is really leaning toward the series. While it remains to be seen how all of these games will turn out, this announcement only confirms that we will continue to see a lot of new media related to The Witcher in the coming years.

What do you think about CD Projekt doubling down on The Witcher franchise in this way? And what do you expect the Canis Majoris project to turn into? Make sure to let me know either in the comments or message me on Twitter at Trustworthy.
