CD Projekt Red Announce Next Witcher Game

The world has gone mad. Trump has issued a ban on all European travel to America, Ireland is on the verge of total shutdown and governments all across the world are calling for a state of emergency.

But hold on to your socks, it's not all doom and gloom.

Today it was confirmed that CD Projekt Red, developers of The Witcher series and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, have started development on their next title which could see us returning to the world of The Witcher.

Speaking to journalists (via Eurogamer Poland), CD Projekt's CEO, Adam Kiciński, said that the company was beginning work on a new single-player title and although not an outright Witcher 4, could possibly be set within the Witcher universe. 

"We've been working on a next single-player game already, creating a clear concept that waits for further development," 

"It's already working but we don't want to commit to it yet. We'll start working on this next game right after Cyberpunk 2077."

"I already said there will be no Witcher 4, I clearly said that Witcher was a trilogy. Simultaneously, we've always emphasized that we want to create Witcher games and the agreement with Mr. Sapkowski confirmed our rights."

Beyond the facts that this title exists and that it will be possibly set within the Witcher universe, no other details have been discussed or confirmed and it's likely we won't hear anymore on the game for quite some time. At least we'll have Cyberpunk 2077 to keep us ticking over.

Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed back in January from its April release to September 17 to allow the developers to add a little more flourish and functionality which, as we all know, is a welcome reason. Nobody wants a broken game.

E3 Cancelled Due to Concerns Over COVID-19

In light of the recent health concerns over the COVID-19 virus, E3 2020 has been cancelled.

The spread of Coronavirus across the globe has seen a number of events cancelled due to public health concerns with the most recent being that of one of the highly anticipated gaming events of year, E3.

The news broke today when the event organizers, the Entertainment Software Association or ESA, published a statement on the E3 official website.

After careful consultation with our member companies regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry – our fans, our employees, our exhibitors, and our longtime E3 partners – we have made the difficult decision to cancel E3 2020, scheduled for June 9-11 in Los Angeles.

Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our fans and supporters. But we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today.

Our team will be reaching out directly to exhibitors and attendees with information about providing full refunds.

We are also exploring options with our members to coordinate an online experience to showcase industry announcements and news in June 2020. Updates will be shared on E3Expo.com.

We thank everyone who shared their views on reimagining E3 this year. We look forward to bringing you E3 2021 as a reimagined event that brings fans, media, and the industry together in a showcase that celebrates the global video game industry.

E3 2020 is the most recent of events to cancelled due to concerns over COVID-19 following in tow with GDC, Facebook F8 and more. Prior to this PlayStation had also pulled out of the event for a second year in a row and Geoff Keighley, presenter of The Game Awards, had also confirmed he would not be participating in the event.

There's no denying this was a highly anticipated year for E3, especially with the next generation of consoles looming on the horizon, however the possibility of E3 being delivered as an online experience is an inciting one, but why don't you tell us how you feel about it, and for more on E3,
