CD Projekt Red’s Job Listing Fuels Witcher 4 Hype
CD Projekt Red has posted a job listing for an Open World Designer, which could indicate that The Witcher 4 production has begun.
The Witcher 4 could be in the early phases of production according to a job listing made available by development studio CD Projekt Red.
An “Open World Designer (Junior/Specialist)” is needed to “fill our game world with believable and exciting content consisting of communities and events that players will encounter,” according to the job description. Applicants should have expertise modding and an enthusiasm for playing “cRPGS or pen & paper role playing systems,” according to the post, which does not specify the game’s title.
Although some fans think that the listing is related to CD Projekt Red’s recent Cyberpunk 2077, the need for cRPGS (Computer Role-Playing Game) enthusiasts indicates a distinct project. Character creation, dialogue trees, and a plethora of menus are all common features in cRPGs for committed players to go through. The Baldur’s Gate series and Larian Studio’s Divinity: Original Sin 2 are two prominent examples of the category.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a role-playing game and it is not classified as a cRPG. With The Witcher’s subject, setting, and design, it’s probable that the next game in the series will depart from the action-adventure formula used in prior games.
Also it’s likely that the listing is for a whole different game than The Witcher or Cyberpunk 2077. Since 2007, CD Projekt has focused primarily on those franchises, therefore a new IP could be in the works.
Considering The Witcher’s current success, a return to Geralt of Rivia’s adventures would be appropriate. The dark fantasy realm established by Polish novelist Andrzej Sapkowski has slowly increased in popularity, culminating in beloved video game series from CD Projekt Red as well as live-action and animated Netflix series.
The widely anticipated game Cyberpunk 2077 was launched in 2020 to mixed reactions and a lot of controversy. Despite many years of development and a number of significant delays, the game was universally regarded as a flop upon release. Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone numerous important fixes to stabilise the experience, which was previously glitchy, unstable, and completely unplayable on older consoles. CD Projekt Red has promised a number of big expansions for their neon-drenched RPG, but no definite release date has been given for any of them.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is widely regarded as one of the best games of the previous generation. several fans declared it one of the best role-playing games of all time. It can be played on several platforms like PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
