the witcher Author Andrzej Sapkowski has confirmed that he will not help CD Projekt Red in the development of The Witcher 4but he says his dealings with the studio are “excellent.”
As reported by GamesRadar, during a book promotion event to promote his latest Witcher prequel novel, Crossroads of Ravens, Sapkowski stated that he has not contributed to The Witcher 4 when asked, but that his relationship with the studio is still going well.
“The contracts between me and the game people are great right now,” Sapkowski said. “Let’s hope it stays that way.”
He went on to say that he used to have a slightly closer working relationship with the Cyberpunk 2077 studio during the development of the previous Witcher games and would occasionally ask him for advice on the world he created.
However, Sapkowski said, “it’s very rare” now for CD Projekt Red to ask him any questions.
Sapkowski and CD Projekt Red signed a new agreement in December 2019 that further solidified their relationship, which the studio said “fully satisfies and clarifies the requirements and expectations of both parties in light of previously concluded agreements.”
The new agreement came after Sapkowski demanded additional compensation from CDPR for the use of the witcher license in October 2018, and requested at least 6% of the profits earned the witcher property.
With the new deal closed, CDPR can now continue creating video games based on the popular Polish fantasy series.
The Witcher 4 is currently in development and will feature Ciri as a playable protagonist. There is no release date yet, but it could arrive after 2027.
