1. What is the Witcher 'Polaris'?

CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is developing the next game in the Witcher series, codenamed Polaris. It will be the official sequel to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and will offer a new open-world RPG experience. CDPR is planning a new trilogy based on Polaris, and this game will be the first.  

2. Development and technological progress

'Polaris' will be developed by abandoning the existing REDengine and adopting Unreal Engine 5. This will allow for more advanced graphics, realistic lighting effects, and an immersive open world. CDPR is working with Epic Games to optimize Unreal Engine 5 for the development of next-generation open-world RPGs. 

3. Story and worldview

According to the information released so far, 'Polaris' is likely to deal with new characters and narratives that deviate from Geralt's story . After the ending of The Witcher 3, the birth of a new witcher or the subsequent story of existing characters may unfold. Fans are talking about the possibility of 'Ciri' being the main character, but nothing has been officially confirmed. 

4. Gameplay changes

Polaris will likely feature a more expansive open world and dynamic environmental interactions . CDPR plans to further develop the quest design and narrative delivery seen in The Witcher 3, and will likely see player choices further impacting the game’s world.  

5. Release date and future plans

CDPR has stated that Polaris is in the early stages of development and will take several years to fully launch . The expected release date is likely to be after 2026, and the trilogy will be released sequentially thereafter. Accordingly, CDPR is continuously working to improve the quality of the game and meet the expectations of fans.  

6. Conclusion

The next Witcher game, Polaris, will be an important game that opens a new era after Witcher 3. With the introduction of Unreal Engine 5, an expanded worldview, and improved gameplay, it is expected to provide fans with a more intense RPG experience. We look forward to additional information to be revealed in the future and to seeing how CDPR will complete this ambitious project.
