Marcin Blacha, vice president of narrative at CD Projekt Red and lead writer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, recently told PC Gamer in an interview on September 15 that the game is not "untouchable" and can still be improved. Despite being widely regarded as one of the greatest games of all time, The Witcher 3 has been praised for its storytelling, world-building, and immersive gameplay. It received high marks from critics, sold millions of copies, and inspired a Netflix series. However, Blacha emphasized that while the game was a major success, it is not without flaws that could still be refined. Blacha, known for his perfectionist approach, noted that the game's shortcomings—particularly in combat mechanics—became more apparent during the development of the Songs of the Past expansion. At the time of the original game’s release, these issues were either overlooked or balanced by its many strengths. Now, with more experience and a broader perspective, Blacha sees opportunities to enhance the gameplay experience. His comments came just before the release of a remastered version of The Witcher 3, which includes various improvements and optimizations. The Songs of the Past expansion, set for release in 2027, will take players back to the role of Geralt of Rivia, the game’s protagonist, and send him to a new region called Letten. This expansion is being co-developed by Fool’s Theory, a studio founded by former CD Projekt Red employees. Blacha expressed excitement about crafting a story that connects not only with the original The Witcher 3 but also with its two major expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. This challenge, he said, is both stimulating and rewarding. Looking ahead, Blacha’s evolving perspective may influence future projects, particularly The Witcher 4, which is expected to release in 2028. As the series continues to grow, the developers aim to refine and expand upon the world they created, ensuring that each new installment builds upon the legacy of its predecessors.
