A new Witcher game is coming! But it’ll take a while even if the switch to Unreal Engine 5 is the right move for CDPR. Meanwhile, we’re all thinking of replaying the modern classic that is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – if you disagree with this statement, just bear with me (and know that you’re wrong).
After two installments that were quite focused on the monster hunting and human drama, The Witcher 3’s massive scope allowed for a wider range of, among other things, zany side quests and obscure homages. While the first game was designed to be a detective story, the threequel largely plays – and reads – like the most competent but tired professional in the world has been thrown into the biggest goose chase ever.
Even after finding Cirilla and gaining a clear sense of the world-ending threat which looms near, the two (excellent) expansion packs have Geralt bumbling his way through confusing situations and the exact kind of messes he tries his damn best to avoid. In a way, I think we all love Geralt because he’s a badass warrior who’s virtually unable to escape the worst – and stupidest – of society despite trying his hardest to act like a lone wolf all the time. And The Witcher 3 nailed that feeling.
