It's hard to compare the CD project RED games with the most successful, most successful, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It is expected to improve previous franchise games, but it is also important that each game has its own identity. Witcher 4 He has the best chance to do it only because of his change of the protagonist, which fits the game in new directions.
Message Witcher 4 will stand on his own merit rather than try to imitate Wizard 3There's a great news for franchise. When creating your own identity it gives more of what is great about Wizard 3And at the same time giving a Ciri convincing story and your own way. Wizard Games must be able to be great without geralt and cross out of Wizard 3gives room for growth.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was still the standard for RPGS and the ten -year anniversary is the right time to play.
Ciri deserves its own story
In a recent interview with Gamesradar+, Witcher 4Narrative director Philipp Weber revealed that the CD project RED is trying to overcome Wizard 3How he understands that players have their preferences. Weber also says:
“I think the way we want to make justice of heritage Wizard 3 is to take the philosophy we had during Wizard 3 – How to do a game, how to really care about these things, how to tell stories – and keep this philosophy.
And I think it's really trying to have the healthy mixture really forward and try some new things, but to do justice of what was there, he didn't try to defeat it. ”
Trying to measure Witcher 4 against Wizard 3 would be a recipe for a disaster. Ciri is another character from Geralt, with another set of skill, abilities, personalities, perspective and experience. Witcher 4 He must build on his predecessor's previous success, but the creation of something that is a pale copy of his predecessor begs for unflattering comparison. At the same time, it is also possible to move forward and honor the game that has allowed to continue.
Approach of giving Witcher 4 Enough respect that he can create his own identity, instead of following past achievements, giving, giving, giving, Witcher 4 The best chance of success while respecting the inheritance Wizard 3. Not using Wizard 3 As a goal to defeat is less pressure on the CD project Red to capture the flash in the bottle twice using the same strategy, and instead create space to create something new that many players, old and new ones will love.
Geralt's heritage lives through various stories
This is a great way to have franchise growth and mature organically as Witcher 4 He continues on the way Geralt began. It is confirmed that Geralt will appear Witcher 4But it will be Ciri's story, not Geralt's, and the narration will require the understanding that her story deserves to be independently.
Instead of giving players more the same, these statements clarify it Witcher 4 will be unique but also as engaging as Wizard 3.
Fitting your own journey does not mean rediscovery of the bike and Witcher 4 It is likely to include systems and functions of narration Wizard 3 So popular. This does not mean Witcher 4 will be a copy Wizard 3as Cyberpunk 2077 was made with the same philosophy and managed to be different from the Red's CD project Wizard games.
