“When it comes to the risk factors of innovation, especially when we are trying to push boundaries and explore new areas; It's something we've never really done before. Of course, The Witcher 4 builds on The Witcher 3 and other games that came before it. But the game will add new gameplay elements and different mechanics that you've never seen in our previous games.”
