'The Witcher 4' has now become the epicenter of the gaming community's attention.
CD Projekt Red has recently officially announced their latest blockbuster game, 'The Witcher: A New Saga Begins,' after over 7 years since the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This exciting news brings immense joy to fans of this renowned RPG series. Currently, CD Projekt Red remains tight-lipped about details regarding the new installment, leading gamers worldwide to fervently speculate about the protagonist.
Despite only revealing an illustrative image of a snow-buried Witcher, some gamers speculate its connection to a key character in 'The Witcher 4,' possibly the iconic Ciri from the third installment. CD Projekt Red had previously announced the conclusion of Geralt's beloved journey, with the ending of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt hinting at a side story involving Ciri. For those who haven't played, the game ends with Geralt entrusting Ciri with a new sword as she embarks on her own journey as a Witcher.
Ciri also sports a medallion similar to Geralt's, albeit not the wolf emblem like Geralt's. Many gamers believe it's a cat emblem, as described in the original novels by author Andrzej Sapkowski. It's entirely plausible that CD Projekt Red redesigned the medallion, as Geralt's medallion appears different in the books compared to the Netflix series adaptation.
Vesemir - Geralt's advisor - is also a subject of speculation among the gaming community regarding whether he's the new protagonist of 'The Witcher 4.' The medallion in the Netflix series bears a striking resemblance to the image recently posted by CD Projekt Red. Despite Vesemir's presumed death in The Witcher 3, the new game will explore his youthful adventures set long before the events of the first three games.
All of these are just speculations from fans and the gaming community worldwide. CD Projekt Red may not reveal further information for a long time. The last Witcher mainline game released by CD Projekt Red was Wild Hunt in 2015, but then they released the catastrophe Cyberpunk 2077, which disappointed and outraged gamers worldwide.
