Original Witcher lead story designer Artur Ganszyniec has been reflecting on the development of the first game and revealed that the team that crafted its final cinematic had minimal involvement from the story group. His comments come amid wider franchise shifts: the long-awaited Witcher 1 remake appears deprioritised while CD Projekt has brought support studio Fool's Theory onto The Witcher 4 and rumours circulate about a new Witcher 3 DLC from that same studio.

  • Ganszyniec explained the closing CG sequence was handled largely outside the core narrative team, with limited oversight from those responsible for the game’s writing and story direction.
  • The Witcher 1 remake seems to have slipped down the priority list as CD Projekt reallocates resources across current projects and collaborators.
  • Support studio Fool's Theory has reportedly been added to the development lineup for The Witcher 4, signalling a broader collaboration strategy for the franchise.
  • Persistent rumours suggest Fool's Theory may also be working on fresh Witcher 3 content, though those reports remain unconfirmed.
  • Ganszyniec’s recent reflections offer fans behind-the-scenes perspective on production choices made during the original game’s final stages.
