Introduction
After the massive success of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CD Projekt Red is finally bringing us back to the Continent with The Witcher 4, currently operating under the codename “Polaris.” This upcoming RPG is expected to usher in a new era of Witcher adventures with updated tech, a fresh story, and evolved gameplay.
