In an interview, game director Sébastien Calembe shared information about Geralt's presence in CDPR's next game.
In Project Polaris, the saga of Geralt of Rivia will continue. But his role as the main character has not yet been revealed. Game director said:
“This will be a great starting point for many players, while not forgetting fans who still want to follow Geralt's adventures.”
There have been rumors that Ciri could be the main character in the next Witcher game, which could theoretically be true.
Since Geralt's story is almost complete in the third game, his role in the fourth game may be much smaller. Ciri is still training to become a Witcher and could be an important part of the next game.
But fans will clearly be happy to know that the iconic character will not be left behind. CDPR has confirmed that The Witcher 4 is being developed to appeal to new players and series veterans. This is an important moment for the studio.
CDPR has ambitions to set new records with The Witcher 4. The Witcher 3 was a revolutionary game that inspired an entire generation of role-playing games and set a benchmark in the gaming industry that continues to this day.
