In a recent statement, renowned author Andrzej Sapkowski revealed that he has not been consulted on the development of the highly anticipated game, The Witcher 4. This marks a significant shift in the relationship between the author and the game developers at CD Projekt Red, who previously sought his input during the creation of earlier titles in the franchise.

Sapkowski, who created the beloved characters and intricate world of The Witcher series, expressed that he has not been involved in the project for some time. This change has raised eyebrows among fans who are eager to see how the next installment will honor the original source material. The Witcher series has garnered a massive following, thanks in part to its compelling storytelling and rich lore, elements that many hope will continue in the upcoming game.

As CD Projekt Red moves forward with its development, the absence of Sapkowski’s guidance could lead to a different creative direction. Fans are left to wonder how this will impact the narrative and character development in The Witcher 4, as the franchise continues to evolve in the gaming landscape.
