- The Witcher 4 will feature “new regions,” but the map will be roughly the same size as The Witcher 3.
- CD Projekt Red announced that players will be able to explore northern regions, such as the village shown in the trailer.
- Game director Sebastian Kalemba said the team “wants to deliver a super compelling experience.”
CD Projekt Red has confirmed that it will introduce new regions in The Witcher 4but fans shouldn’t expect a larger map than what appears on the witcher 3: wild hunt.
In a recent interview with Easy Allies, game director Sebastian Kalemba and executive producer Gosia Mitręga discussed the surprise reveal of The Witcher 4 at The Game Awards 2024 and the decision to make Ciri the titular Witcher and playable protagonist.
Speaking about the game’s open world, Mitręga confirmed that the development team is “introducing new regions” for players to explore.
Mitręga also hinted that we might see the “village in the trailer” appear, which is “far north” of the continent, meaning players could travel much further than Geralt in The Witcher 3.
Regarding the size of the map, Kalemba confirmed in a separate interview with Skill Up that The Witcher 4‘s is “more or less” the same as The Witcher 3‘s, which if you’ve played you’ll know it’s pretty big (thanks, GamesRadar).

“The map is definitely more or less in terms of size and number of missions, more or less the same,” Kalemba said. “Once again, the game is going to be big. But also, the ambition of the entire team is huge. So, first and foremost, we want to deliver a super compelling experience.”
Kalemba went on to say, “Again, quality over quantity. But definitely, what we can promise: yes, this game is going to be pretty big. It’s going to be big compared to everything we’ve prepared so far…”
There is no release date for The Witcher 4 yet, but we do know that it will be developed in Unreal Engine 5 and will mark the beginning of a new sorcerer saga.
