Despite being a relatively small Polish developer, CD Projekt Red has quickly become one of the most respected names in the Western RPG video game landscape, and its Witcher series is the primary reason behind this. Debuting back in 2007, The Witcher was CD Projekt Red's very first video game, and it's an incredibly impressive debut title. The Witcher 2 followed a few years later, and that in turn gave way to The Witcher 3, still widely considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time.

After the immense success of The Witcher 3, the world was at CD Projekt Red's feet, and the team decided to go big or go home for its next project, Cyberpunk 2077. And while Cyberpunk 2077 didn't quite live up to expectations when it first released, CD Projekt Red has spent the last two and a half years trying to make up for its mistakes. Now, the future is looking bright once more for the Polish dev, with a total of three Witcher games currently in development.

The Next Witcher - 'Polaris'

Back in March 2022, CD Projekt Red announced a multitude of video game projects, all allegedly still in the works. Along with a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel and a wholly new IP, CD Projekt Red announced three Witcher titles, all given suitably cool nicknames. The first, and by far the most anticipated of these three was Project Polaris, the next mainline game in The Witcher series.

Though very little is known about Project Polaris, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that this game will be the first in a new mainline Witcher trilogy, acting as a direct sequel to The Witcher 3. And that's about all that's officially known about Project Polaris. No characters, settings, time period, or any story details at all have been given by CD Projekt Red, leaving fans only with their own speculations. While some fans hope Geralt will return as the main protagonist in Project Polaris, many believe the sequel will pass the torch to Ciri, with Geralt making a few appearances here and there for good measure.

The Witcher Remake - 'Canis Majoris'

Potentially the second Witcher game that fans will see is CD Projekt Red's Canis Majoris project, now known to be a remake of the very first Witcher game. While fans originally thought that this project would just be a simple high-res port of the 2007 original, recent CD Projekt Red comments seemingly suggest that it'll be more of a full, made-from-the-ground-up remake. This remake will apparently convert the original Witcher's more open-ended areas into one cohesive open-world, and will presumably bring a ton of quality-of-life improvements and modern-day bells and whistles along with it. Though no official release date has been given just yet, it seems likely that this Witcher remake will take at least another few years in development, with CD Projekt Red clearly stating that it wants to "do this right."

The Multiplayer Witcher - 'Sirius'

Being developed by The Molasses Flood, Project Sirius will apparently be a multiplayer Witcher game. While the exact nature of Sirius' multiplayer gameplay is unknown, the game will apparently let players enjoy its story mode in single-player, along with various single-player-friendly side activities. This could end up being the last Witcher game on this list that fans get to see, as back in March of this year, it's believed that development on the game was restarted from scratch, as evidenced by CD Projekt Red filing an impairment charge to drop its assets. But back in May, CD Projekt Red confirmed that development of Project Sirius was back on track, moving ahead with a "new framework" for the Witcher title.
