The Witcher 4 represents the story that CD Projekt Red wants to "tell the world," so no, the RPG wasn't influenced by the Netflix series
The game features its own canon

Following 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red's recent announcement that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4 has now 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"entered the full-scale production phase" and our first real look at the new RPG during its 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:cinematic trailer at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Game Awards, game director Sebastian Kalemba and executive producer Małgorzata Mitrega confirm that the upcoming title wasn't influenced by the Netflix series.
Speaking in a recent interview with , Kalemba explains that the success of The Witcher TV series on Netflix didn't necessarily influence the fourth game. "Generally how franchises work, there's always some synergy between transmedia. That always works thiꦜs way. Every single IP you see, there's always this synergy that helps this franchise wheel bring in, let's say, newcomers for example - but I don't think that we rely on 🌸it anyhow."

While the show may have brought "newcomers," as Kalemba puts it, to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red's series of games, developers aren't really looking to it for any story ideas or inspiration during production. Mitrega reveals as much, stating that storytelling in The Witcher 4 and previous entries is "our origin thing always" - and it isn't something based on other Witcher-aligned media. The studio does, however, refer back to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher books at times.
"The storytelling we're doing and the plan for our project is our origin thing always," details Mitrega. "We, of course, are always placing a lot of focus on the lore and also are inspired by [The Witcher] books by Andrzej Sapkowski," she admits, "but this is mostly what we want to tell the world" - and what they tell should be big, considering how CD Projekt Red dubbed The Witcher 4 the "most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game" yet.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative des♊ign and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
