&#039;The Witcher&#039; series might be a big hit

The Witcher 4 Is Getting a “Big Part” of Cyberpunk 2077 Developers After Phantom Liberty Expansion

The Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] is one of those rare
franchises that boasts all forms of engagement a fan could have. First came the
Polish novel that got translated into English, giving readers more freedom and
options. Secondly, the video game format followed, giving all gamers the chance
to leave the pages and explore the fantasy land on their gaming screens. Lastly,
Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] and the cohort of
intricately woven characters landed on our Netflix screens. While Pedro Pascal’s
Last of Us and others followed a similar format of who came first: video game or
the show, Geralt of Rivia has definitely toured different formats longer than
its counterparts. 

In new updates from the developers of the game, its team is getting a huge chunk
of Cyberpunk 2077’s developers. 


MORE DEVELOPERS TO JOIN THE COHORT

Back in 2022, the developers of the game, based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s books,
announced a new saga that they would embark on. After the first three games, CD
Projekt revealed its intentions to start a new trilogy. Named Polaris, CEO Adam
Kiciński confirmed that they would be “moving a big part” of the Cyberpunk 2077
game developers over to the Polaris team. While it boasts the largest expansion
for Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty, they have some big ideas brewing for
Sapkowski’s novel-based spin-off game. Notably, Phantom Liberty had 300
developers working on the game in July 2023.



Adding to this, Kiciński said, “That’s fewer than at the end of 2022, but it
still remains our biggest team.” Nevertheless, the growth of the team for
Polaris has been steadily going uphill. While Cyberpunk 2077’s game boasted a
dwindling number of 300, Polaris climbed to 260 people on its team. Moreover,
after Phantom Liberty is released, an even larger chunk of creative minds will
shift to work on Geralt’s game.

Once Henry Cavill had even joked

about the similarity between an episode of the show and the game, but it still
stands differentiated in its production. And that is clear in this distribution
of resource between the two games.

While one may wonder about the popularity of the games compared to the series,
it is just as good as its other formats. 


THE WITCHER GAME IS BREAKING BARRIERS LIKE ITS SERIES

Holding true to its roots, a Polish game developer worked behind the Polish
book-based games. With three games on its shelf, the third edition, The Witcher
3: The Wild Hunt, sold a whopping 50 million units. Since its release in 2015,
it shares the position of being one of the bestselling games with other giants
in the gaming industry.



To name a few, it climbed the ranks of Red Dead Redemption 2 and even the
classic Mario Kart’s Mario Kart 8+Deluxe. It is only topped by the legendary
GTA, Minecraft, and Tetris.
