Dang, The Witcher 4 studio says its new IP "definitely is NOT a cosmic horror in feudal Japan," which is precisely what I was hoping it was

If there's one game I would want to follow CDPR's long-awaited sequel 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4, it would be a cosmic horror game set in feudal Japan - and I mean that sincerely! In fact, CDPR, with its spect♍acular worldbuilding, is one of the few studios I would trust to pull off something so wild. But, sadly, that very specific genre is exactly the only one CDPR has fully ruled out for its new IP, codenamed Project Hadar.

In a Twitter response to some speculation about Hadar, CDPR co-CEO Michal Nowakowski shut down just one of the ideas that was floated. "Can only tell it's definitely NOT a cosmic horro♛r in feudal Japan ;)," he said. "Time will come, we will spill the b🉐eans. Worry not :)"

Little has been said of Project Hadar so far, but we know it's among many 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming CDPR games currently in some form of development. With 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Phantom Liberty out the door and putting a bow on Cyberpunk 2077, 澳洲幸运ꦓ5开奖号码历史查询:CDPജR has moved its focus to The Witcher 4 with "the largest part" of its development team working on the sequel. The next Wit🍸cher game will mark the beginning of a brand new trilogy, and on top of that there's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a spin-off codenamed Sirius and a Witcher remake on the way that'll build 🍸on the technologyไ used for The Witcher 4.  Finally, there's the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codenamed Orion. Phew.

We don't know exactly where Project Hadar fits into such a busy calendar for CDPR, but we know it's technically been in development since 2021. We haven't heard anything about it for some time, but at least we know it's still in the works, which is a good thing despite the obvious missed opportu🅠nity that is CDPR rul🐼ing out a cosmic horror game in feudal Japan.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in🔯 2021. That means I'm respo🌊nsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
