![]() ![]() Lauren: There's a lot going on other than just a trilogy! Project Sirius is being made by The Molasses Flood, so will be a separate development to the in-house Witcher team. But hey, if they do aspire to make something like the Mass Effect trilogy with story decisions that carry over between games, I'm curious to see how it goes. But assuming they're all open world RPGs following the same characters-which seems likely if they're planning out a distinct trilogy-I have trouble imagining them feeling as distinct as the first three Witchers, or improving as dramatically between games.Īnnouncing three games from the jump just strikes me as a business decision, not one driven by game developers with so many plans and ambitions that a single game just wouldn't cut it. Maybe the developers end up overcoming that through the sheer quality of writing and quest design-that'd be amazing. If CD Projekt is making three more in rapid succession, I imagine the necessary reuse of assets and design learnings will make them much more similar. I've played all three Witcher RPGs and enjoyed them all, but they each have a very strong, very different identity. Are back-to-back-to-back Witcher RPGs going to feel samey? ![]() Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone added an extra 30-40 hours to Witcher 3, and both came out within a year of Witcher 3's release, so the expectation it can work is already set.Ī trilogy released over a short timespan worked with Mass Effect so it can work here! Either way, stick it into my veins. Or, they're building it as one big game that, when just about ready, they'll dice up into three games and fire out a trilogy. It makes me think these games will be smaller in scope and are way further into production than has been claimed. It's ambitious, and CDPR has definitely done a 180 from the "we aren't going to give definite time scales ever again!" vibe since Cyberpunk 2077 came out. Lauren Aitken, Guides Editor: Three games delivered over a six year period is absolutely doable!
