Out of nowhere, CD Projekt Red started the week off by announcing that development is officially underway on the next entry in The Witcher saga. The Polish studio released a single teaser image, and that was enough to incite conversations and speculation online as to what the Witcher 4, or whatever it's called, will involve.
One of the main pieces of speculation around the new Witcher game is what that medallion is. Some people believe the medallion shown in the teaser represents the School of the Cat. Ciri from The Witcher 3 wears this medallion, though she formally trained at the School of the Wolf. Still, there are some who believe Ciri might take on a larger role in the next game, or perhaps be the main playable character. That remains to be seen, but CD Projekt Red previously teased that it wants tell more Ciri-centric stories.
" A New Saga Begins"
In 2020, CD Projekt writer Jakub Szamałek was asked by VG247 if the studio has considered making Ciri the main character of a new Witcher game. Szamałek replied, "Interesting question. Would you like to play a game with Ciri as a lead character?"
