Interview Witcher 4 will be better than both Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher 3, says CDPR Dev

[LIONT4MER]

One of the major lessons for CD Projekt after its issues with Cyberpunk 2077 was the studio's difficulty with balancing its ambition - and confidence in delivering on that ambition that bordered on "magical thinking," as joint CEO Nowakowski put it to me - with the realities of the studio's rapid growth and surprise obstacles of Covid-19. But Trembley, as with many other developers at CDPR, maintained that the team's ambition itself remains undimmed.

"Again, I will not say it's easy," he added, "but I think that we have some cool stuff going, and hopefully that will have some good showcase [of the technology]. The only thing I will say is that changing the tech for us does not change the fact that we always will be ambitious," he said. "And the next game we do will not be smaller, and it will not be worse. So it will be better, bigger, greater than The Witcher 3, it will be better than Cyberpunk - because for us, it's unacceptable [to launch that way]. We don't want to go back.
