CD Projekt Red Considering 'The Witcher 3' Sequel

CD Projekt RED created "The Witcher" with having a trilogy in mind. Given the success of the franchise, however, the Polish video game developer is now considering the idea of expanding the world of the action RPG. On Thursday, a CD Prokekt Red executive revealed that they are thinking of making a sequel to "The Witcher 3." During a Q&A session after the company's results briefing, the executive said, "'The Witcher' was designed as a trilogy and a trilogy cannot have a fourth part, can it?" He then added, "We like this world a lot. We invested 15 years of our lives in it and a lot of money. GameSpot reports that while "The Witcher 3" is the final installment to star Geralt of Rivia, it might not be the last game in the famous franchise. Of course, a continuation of Geralt's story will not make sense to fans, so this could mean that future games in the series will likely focus on a different character. The executive's statement about the possibility of another "The Witcher" game comes after it was revealed that the existing games have achieved the milestone of raking in $250 million. The trilogy has also sold over 25 million copies, according to PC Gamer. Considering that the trilogy has achieved major success, it makes sense for the Polish company to expand it. While the follow-up is still up in the air, CD Projekt intends to focus on the "The Witcher" brand, specifically on "Gwent: The Witcher Card Game." "This year we will continue to expand'The Witcher' brand -- it is, after all, the year of Gwent.
