CD Projekt RED acknowledged the immense responsibility for The Witcher IV and promised not to let fans down

The Witcher IV won the Most Wanted Game of the year award at the Golden Joystick Awards. Representatives of the team admitted that such high expectations place an immense responsibility on them.

CD Projekt RED fully understands how eagerly players around the world are waiting to return to The Witcher universe. After Wild Hunt raised the bar to a virtually unattainable height, creating a worthy sequel became a major challenge for the Polish studio.

At the Golden Joystick Awards ceremony, the new game in the series received a prestigious award in the “Most Wanted Game” category. The competition was fierce: CD Projekt RED’s project had to contend with Fable and Resident Evil Veronica. However, players’ preference remained on the side of the universe created by Andrzej Sapkowski.

Malgorzata Mitrega, Head of Production at CD Projekt RED, accepted the award on behalf of the entire team. From the stage, she admitted that the statuette was a huge honor for the team and, at the same time, placed a colossal responsibility on them. The executive assured fans that the team has no intention of disappointing them and is pouring all its soul, energy, and accumulated experience into the project to give players yet another unforgettable adventure.

According to Mitrega, fan support has become a powerful source of positive energy and additional motivation for the developers. Despite the tremendous pressure, the studio is determined to meet the audience’s expectations and deliver the highest quality game possible when the right time comes.
