CD Projekt Red Plans to Squeeze Out as Much Juice Possible From the Superhit Witcher Series With Multiple Upcoming Projects

The Polish developer CD Projekt Red recently raised curtains over several projects they have in hand for the upcoming years. However, among these projects, three of them are for the fan-favorite Witcher franchise. It seems the Polish developers are exploring the Witcher universe for as much content as they can get from there.

Earlier we got a heads up about a new Witcher game in the making. CDPR finally announced it with the codename Polaris. It will begin a new journey of another new Witcher trilogy. Also, the latest announcement had more surprises for the fans to enjoy.

Are Witcher creators working on a spin-off and multiplayer mode?

The Polaris wasn’t the only major announcement related to the Witcher franchise, as the Polish developers are also working on two more titles. One might wonder if these two projects are the other titles of the said trilogy that we just talked about. However, that is not the case at all.

CDPR is also working on a game with the codename Canis Majoris. This game’s events will take place in the same universe, but won’t have connections to the new main story that started with Polaris. This game is likely set to be a spin-off series, following a character in the Witcher universe. Also, an external studio with members who worked on the past three games would develop Canis Majoris.

The Polish game company also talked about another Witcher project, Sirius. It is claimed to offer a fresh experience, something which the past three games never provided. And, Sirius would have multiplayer and the usual single-player mode. Like Canis Majoris, Sirius would be created by their subsidiary studio, The Molasses Flood.

Can these new series impact the game market?

Multiplayer games have been in trend lately, so we can expect fans to like Sirius. Moreover, a spin-off will offer a new experience to the fans and will help them see the Witcher universe, from some other character’s point of view.

Also, the Witcher fandom has increased lately thanks to the Netflix adaptation and it can drastically improve the game’s sales. Similar to how Cyberpunk 2077 witnessed better sales after the release of its Netflix adaptation, Cyberpunk Edgerunners.
