All games in development from ex-Witcher 3 devs
Several former developers from CD Projekt Red are working on highly anticipated RPGs following the massive success of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, widely regarded as one of the best RPGs of all time. The upcoming The Witcher 4 will feature Ciri as the protagonist, positioning it as a potential game of the year contender when more details emerge.
The talent exodus hasn’t gone unnoticed in the industry, with many senior staff members from the original Witcher 3 team departing to pursue new ventures. Most notably, The Blood of Dawnwalker is among the most anticipated RPGs currently in development, created by Rebel Wolves—a studio founded by several veteran developers who worked on Geralt’s final adventure.
This pattern of experienced developers establishing independent studios reflects broader industry trends where talented creators seek creative freedom and new opportunities. The success of The Witcher 3 has clearly created a ripple effect, inspiring former team members to leverage their expertise in developing new fantasy experiences. With multiple high-profile RPGs in the pipeline from former Witcher 3 developers, the gaming community can expect a diverse array of ambitious projects in the coming years.
