‘Polaris’, the new Witcher game that the company announced in the past months that it will develop using Unreal Engine 5, will be the beginning of the new The Witcher trilogy. The game will take place after The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and will be the beginning of a new saga. The company plans to create a new trilogy by releasing two new Witcher games after Polaris, outside the Sirius and Canis Majoris projects. The trilogy will be released six years after the release of Polaris.

According to the Poland-based company, another The Witcher project, ‘Sirius’, will take place in The Witcher universe and will be developed by The Molasses Flood with the support of CD Projekt Red. Unlike the previous games of the developer, the production will have a multiplayer mode in addition to the story.

The ‘Canis Majoris’ project, on the other hand, is the last game to take place in The Witcher universe, apart from the new trilogy. According to the company, the production will be developed by a third-party developer. According to the company, this production, which will use Unreal Engine 5, will be an external studio led by experienced developers who have worked on past Witcher games.
