Is Ciri the Main Character of The Witcher 4? - IGN Daily Fix
Mar 23, 2022 - On today's IGN The Fix: Games, CD Projekt Red's announcement of The Witcher 4 (for lack of an official name) has sent fans into a frenzy as they try to decipher the studio's teaser image. While it doesn't show much, the art features a Witcher medallion partly submerged in snow, which some fans believe is linked to a major character from the last game, Ciri. Someone has found one of The Witcher 3's final Easter eggs nearly seven years after it was released in May 2015. A character that players can free from a curse at the risk of her dying in seven years, can actually be found dead after waiting that long in-game. CD Projekt Red has confirmed that a new Witcher game is currently in development and that it will use Unreal Engine 5. While this new Witcher game will utilize Unreal Engine 5, CD Projekt Red did say that REDengine is "still being used for the development of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 expansion." Narz has all that in your Daily Fix!

Why the Wild Hunt will Be The Witcher's Thanos - IGN The Fix: Entertainment
Dec 13, 2021 - The Wild Hunt is coming to Netflix's The Witcher, eventually. The phantasmal force was mentioned in the pilot episode of The Witcher, and reportedly there'll be subtle nods to it throughout The Witcher season 2. It seems to be the looming threat that Executive Producer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, compared to a particular purple, gauntlet-welding Marvel baddie, Thanos. Hissrich and her team know how big of a deal the Wild Hunt is and have purposely been foreshadowing the arrival to communicate to the audience, both fans and the unfamiliar alike, that a bigger danger is on its way. In other Witcher news, Henry Cavill wants to visit Toussaint, the setting of The Witcher 3's acclaimed Blood & Wine DLC. Speaking to us here at IGN, Cavill mentions how this land exists in the books, and he'd love to explore it in a future episode. #TheWitcher is coming to #Netflix Dec. 17th, look for #TheWitcherSeason2 then! And finally, IGN is partnering with WB to host the U.S. Premiere of the Matrix Resurrections. Happening December 18th at 5:30pm PT, we'll be on location in San Francisco for the premiere, revealing an exclusive clip from the movie during the stream.

The Future of Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher on PS5, Xbox Series X
Apr 2, 2021 - Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch, our show following everything PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. This week, we discuss CD Projekt Red's past and future, what's happening with Cyberpunk 2077's multiplayer, and how Cyberpunk's launch likely changed their plans for both The Witcher and Cyberpunk. We also dive into Sony's move to close the PSP, PSVita, and PS3 stores and the fallout of losing access to so many beloved titles. With the polar difference between Microsoft and Sony's approach to their catalogue history, what does this mean for the player? Xbox Seems to champion fan-beloved classics by bringing some heavy hitters of the past to their growing xCloud service. We also have the results of last week's poll, where we asked whether you would be interested in a more powerful/expensive Nintendo Switch Pro.
