00:00Don't expect a Witcher 4 expansion. At least that's what CDPR is saying because it would
00:05be difficult to make extra content when it's already trying to squeeze three Witcher games
00:09in six years. On one hand I think CDPR is being realistic here, but on the other hand I'm quite
00:15skeptical that a six-year plan will survive intact. Don't get me wrong, if you have a grand
00:21master plan and you are sticking to it, more power to you. I think that's an amazing thing.
00:25But at the same time, releasing three huge games in six years is a huge endeavor. We are talking
00:31about the games that are cinematic, branching, content heavy, voice acted in multiple languages,
00:37technically demanding and they are open world games. Those are some of the hardest games in the
00:42industry to produce. But again, at the same time, CDPR is trying to avoid repeating the development
00:47chaos that happened with Cyberpunk 2077. The real question is whether that speed comes at the cost
00:52of depth, polish, ambition and post-launch support. Because to me, as a Witcher fan,
00:58I have become accustomed to CDPR delivering complete package RPGs with legendary expansions
01:04attached. And personally, I'd rather wait longer for fewer games if it means each one receives the
01:10quality level of Witcher 3 plus Blood and Wine, for example. And I reckon that combination is part of
01:16why the Witcher 3 became legendary in the first place.
