Gaming enthusiasts eagerly anticipating CD Projekt Red's next installment in The Witcher series, codenamed Polaris, might have to wait until at least 2025, but there's already buzz building around potential storylines. Notably, the voice actor for Geralt of Rivia, Doug Cockle, has speculated on the future direction of the franchise. Although he lacks insider knowledge, Cockle shared his excitement and theories regarding the teased Lynx School medallion. This symbol differs from established Witcher lore, stirring conversations about possible new branches of Witcher schools.

Amid the speculations, the focus on Ciri, the character with the ability to travel between dimensions from the Witcher books and games, emerges as a compelling theory for Polaris' storyline. This speculation is bolstered by Ciri's story arc in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, where some endings depict her as a Witcher, and her abilities and experiences provide a rich foundation for potential adventures.

As Polaris is poised to be the first title in a new Witcher trilogy, fans can rest assured that nearly half of CD Projekt Red's team is dedicated to bringing this new chapter to life. Leveraging Unreal Engine 5, the game aims to set a new standard in the celebrated RPG saga. With the Witcher universe expansion on the horizon, player anticipation is sure to grow as more details emerge about this highly awaited title.
