Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, almost half of CD Projekt RED’s development staff is now working on The Witcher 4. In a recent earnings report for Q3 2023, CD Projekt RED outlined what percentage of developers were working on various different projects.

The Witcher franchise and the author of the original novels, has shared that Netflix “never listened” to his ideas for the hit fantasy series.Speaking to gaming YouTuber CerealKillerz at Comic Con, Sapkowski shared that he had visited the set of the Netflix TV show during production and that he had shared some creative input but that Netflix “never listened” to his ideas.The Polish author joked about being brushed off by Netflix: “The set was tremendous. Tremendous… I gave them some ideas but they never listened to me. It’s normal.

Witcher game has over 250 CD Projekt Red employees working on it with even more staff to be transferred after the release of Cyberpunk 2077‘s expansion.Polaris, the codename for the fourth The Witcher game, is using Unreal Engine 5 rather than CD Projekt Red’s own REDengine. This is in order to free up a lot of its developers to refocus on the game itself, as Epic Games‘ engine offers an enormous amount of pre-built assets and tools.As well as this design decision, it looks like the company is ensuring that the next Witcher game is as strong as possible, whenever it releases.“At the end of July, the [Cyberpunk 2077 expansion] Phantom Liberty team working on the pre-release phase consisted of 300 people,” said CEO Adam Kiciński in an earnings call earlier this week (via Video Games Chronicle).“That’s fewer than at the end of 2022, but it still it remains our biggest team.

The Witcher director Marc Jobst has shared his thoughts behind Henry Cavill’s exit, implying it could be due to the show’s “demanding” nature.Jobst, who directed two episodes in the Netflix show’s first season, was asked about the actor’s decision to leave the series following season three.Speaking to ScreenRant, Jobst said: “Look, Henry has done three series, these are demanding shows to make, you know, they are huge. Henry does every single beat of his stunts, he won’t even allow a hand, if you’re doing a close-up of a hand grabbing a sword, it has to be his hand.“So, normally, what you do is you bring in a double.

The Witcher actor Joey Batey has revealed a plot point in season four that’s a “fan favourite” moment from the books.Batey returns as bard Jaskier in season three, part two of the Netflix show, which will be the last time fans get to see Henry Cavill in the role of Geralt Of Rivia.In a new interview with Metro, Batey referenced a significant detail from the books that he said he’s looking forward to portraying in the show.“I’m just glad that Jaskier’s still in it,” he joked, adding: “There’s a thing called the hanza, which I’m looking forward to exploring. It’s a bit of a fan-favourite moment I think.”In The Witcher books written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, Geralt’s company, or hanza, is a group of people that teams up to rescue Ciri.

The Witcher season three sees Ciri undergo a significant transformation – but what does it all mean for the future of the Netflix series?Based on the successful fantasy book series and video games of the same name, The Witcher sees Henry Cavill star as a magically super-powered monster hunter (known as a Witcher) who crosses paths with Ciri (Freya Allan), a princess whose untapped magic is sought after by evil monarchs, mages, and monsters.At the end of the third season, the pursuit for Ciri’s magical powers leads to her being stranded in the Korath Desert, where she experiences visions of her parents and Falka (Hiftu Quasem), a legendary elven leader who imparts the knowledge of fire magic.Fans of the books will know that Falka, often dubbed ‘Bloody Falka’, was a princess of Redania, who sought revenge against her father, stepmother and half-siblings after a tumultuous family history.Her rebellion captured Redania but met its demise when expanding into other kingdoms, leading to Falka’s execution.In Ciri’s visions, we learn of a prophecy that suggests a descendant of Falka will bring about the world’s destruction, while one from elf sorceress Lara Dorren’s lineage will be its saviour.While struggling to survive in the desert, Ciri uses her newly acquired fire magic to heal a white unicorn. At that point it becomes clear that her abilities are more advanced than anything a mortal mage can teach.

The Witcher left many fans of the Netflix show in tears – warning spoilers below.It comes after the finale showed his character Geralt is once again separated from his love Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and Princess Cirilla (Freya Allan), before being reunited with Jaskier (Joey Batey) and riding off into the sunset.Following the scene, one fan wrote: “I am just distraught with that ending and knowing Henry’s Geralt won’t get his happy ending.”Another added: “Really solid ending to the season, I thought. Gonna miss Cavill.

The actor announced his decision to leave in October 2022, with the show now set to move in a new direction for the already confirmed fourth and fifth seasons.Liam Hemsworth will indeed be replacing Cavill as Geralt Of Rivia for season four, and it appears the character’s sudden change of face will even be addressed in the show.Speaking to Yahoo!, executive producer Tomek Baginski previously stated that fans of the books will recognise the story they have drawn from to explain Cavill’s departure.“I don’t want to get too emotional, but it was a great journey to have Henry Cavill on this show and we will miss him,” he said.“But, at the same time, we have a very, very good plan to introduce our new Geralt and our new vision for Geralt with Liam.

It’s finally that time. The time that seemingly most fans of the series have been dreading.
