The Witcher 4 Dev Say It Has Learned From Its Cyberpunk 2077 Mistakes

During The Game Awards, CD Projekt Red finally showed the first look at The Witcher 4, the long-awaited follow up to 2015's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. In the nine years since that game's release, CD Projekt Red's subsequent game, Cyberpunk 2077, was launched with a number of bugs and issues that took years to fully address. And that's not a mistake that the developer intends to make again with The Witcher 4.

The Witcher 4 director Sebastian Kalemba told IGN that the company's Cyberpunk 2077 ordeal has changed the way it structures its game development.

"The way we produce right now has changed in a very good way," explained Kalemba. "We are very mindfully defining the stages of the production. We are very mindfully trying to scope it, making sure that the foundation is there. I already see that it's helping us to make sure that whatever we create right now is super coherent across the board. This way makes us feel that we control this super complex environment more than we used to, and that also makes everyone feel more secure when it comes to developing generally on a daily basis."
