CD Projekt Red Confirms The Witcher 4 Map Size Is on Par with The Witcher 3

CD Projekt Red has officially shed light on the scale of the upcoming Witcher sequel. According to ScreenRant, game director Sebastian Kalemba confirmed that the map for the next game will be comparable in scope to the one found in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Kalemba stated that the sequel's world is "more or less" the same size and contains a similar number of quests. He emphasized the team's ambition to deliver a "super compelling experience," adding, "the game is going to be big compared to everything we've prepared so far."

The report notes that The Witcher 3's map was estimated to be between 135 and 142 square kilometers. The new game will reportedly be set in the regions of Kovir and Poviss, with Ciri stepping into the protagonist role.

Fans on the r/witcher subreddit reacted positively to the news, per ScreenRant. One user welcomed a focus on detailed design over sheer size, while another agreed that a manageable map allows for more involved side content without filler.

The Witcher 4 is currently in development and is expected to launch in 2028.
