The Witcher 4 director calls returning to the fantasy RPG "challenging" after Cyberpunk 2077, but CDPR is finally ready to have 2 franchises cook at once
The switch from Th🔥e Witcher to Cyberpunk 💞2077 was also "really hard"

Jumping out of the medieval fantasy universe it spent years crafting in The Witcher to the futuristic dystopia of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077 was apparently "really hard" for developers at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red, as was switching back once more with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4, but senior mem♈bers♓ of the studio reckon its finally ready to have two franchises cook at the same time.
Speakin✅g to , art directoౠr on the unannounced Project Hadar Pawel Mielniczuk said "after years of making this medieval universe of The Witcher, switching to Cyberpunk was really hard."
The Witcher 4 game director Sebastian Kalemba added that "tಞhe moment of recalibrating, it's tough - it requires some time to rewire the brain and really get into the IP, the genre, the characters, all that required some time to really fully recalibrate."
And going back to Tಌhe Witcher 4 after a tour of Night City was just as difficult. "It's never easy. It's really nice to get back to the IP. I think people love it, and we have something great to cook," Kalemba said, but pivoting to an entirely different genre, inspired by a different historical period, where people speak completely differently, "is challenging, but super cool at the same time."
"You're kinda reinventing - and at the same time we're thi♋nking about how weඣ can improve it," he added.
The pair also said the studio is more ready to tackle two very different franchises at the same time now. It's apparently always been CD Projekt Red's intention, though the studio was too small and inexperienced to pღull it off 10 years ago. It now has two massive RPG hits under its belt (and probably way more developers under its umbrella.)
