CD Projekt Red may be working on a Witcher movie, as hinted by a recent job listing seeking a writer/editor for scripts in various formats, including movies. This potential film would add to the highly successful Witcher franchise, which originated from Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy novels and gained worldwide popularity with the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt Red has further plans to expand the Witcher game series, developing multiple new projects to continue the story.
The Witcher series has extended into other media, most notably with Netflix’s live-action adaptation, which is slated for a fourth season in 2025. The series has inspired several spin-offs, such as the animated prequel Nightmare of the Wolf, the miniseries The Witcher: Blood Origin, and an upcoming animated film, The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, set for a February 2025 release. These adaptations have helped The Witcher grow beyond gaming, showcasing its storytelling potential across different formats.
The specifics of CD Projekt Red’s potential movie remain unclear, but the job listing’s emphasis on experience in film scriptwriting suggests a significant project could be in development. With the success of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, CD Projekt Red may look to recreate similar success with a Witcher movie, possibly as a live-action or animated adaptation focusing on Geralt, Ciri, or another notable character from the Witcher universe.
