The writer of The Witcher 3’s best quest has returned to CD Projekt after a decade away
Karolina Stachyra, the writer behind “Family Matters”—widely regarded as The Witcher 3’s finest quest—has rejoined CD Projekt after a decade away. According to her LinkedIn profile, Stachyra began working with the studio as a freelance consultant in February, then transitioned to a full-time writer role in August. The announcement went largely unnoticed until over the weekend, when news of her return circulated on social media.
During her decade-long absence, Stachyra worked at developers Techland and GSC Game World, gaining diverse industry experience before returning to her roots. Her work on “Family Matters” stands as a testament to her narrative skill, with the quest frequently cited as one of the strongest pieces of content in The Witcher 3, a game renowned for its storytelling and character depth.
Stachyra’s return as a full-time writer at CD Projekt signals the studio’s continued investment in narrative excellence and quality storytelling.
