If CD Projekt RED plays its cards right, the sheer breadth of opportunities on offer within the Witcher setting may well offset the danger of Witcher-based oversaturation. These aren't throwaway games, either: Gwent: Rogue Mage is a great Witcher game in its own right.

Developed by The Molasses Flood, this one intends to use multiplayer to complement a single-player campaign “with quests and a story”. Lastly, we have Sirius, which aims to be a stark departure from previous titles. This one’s a standalone game developed by an external studio featuring developers with previous experience working on the Witcher series. Though we don't have codenames for Polaris' two planned sequels yet, CD Projekt RED has committed to releasing them down the line. Currently in pre-production, Polaris is, as far as we understand it, The Witcher 4, heralding the start of a second Witcher saga. “Polaris” is the codename for the next Witcher game. However, given that the Polish video game developer is using ominous-sounding codewords for its new Witcher games, making heads or tails of what’s going on can be difficult. The prospect of a new Witcher trilogy is very exciting, and CD Projekt RED’s six-year timeline for releasing three separate Witcher games is ambitious, and that's before we even consider the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel or the new IP.
