Chapter 1: What are the main announcements for The Witcher 4?
Quote, of all our projects, this one is currently the most far along, and we're starting the most intensive phase of development. I wish to thank the team and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for further progress, end quote. Game director Sebastian Kalemba also said in a post on X, quote, I'm thrilled to announce that Project Polaris has entered the full-scale production phase.
With new challenges just around the corner, it's the talented and hardworking people who make me believe we can together make the upcoming Witcher saga a remarkable experience. No stopping now, stay tuned for what's on the other side of the coin, end quote. It was announced in 2022 that Columba had been appointed to direct the new Witcher saga, which has been confirmed to be a trilogy of games.
Mike Howard, Witcher 4 is in full production.
What does that do for you? Blessing. Things are heating up. Yeah. I mean, shout out to CD Projekt Red. Congratulations to the team and best of luck on the next phase of this. Very exciting news, of course.
witcher 3 absolutely was a banger i'm very excited to see what they do next after of course all their learnings with cyberpunk and that growth that they've had what do you think they learned from cyberpunk that they can bring into witcher 4 you know i think everybody would point to like the bad launch right but like i truly think it is the rpg elements that they elevated on that second phase with phantom liberty of like hey how can we deepen these systems what can we bring to this
And also, can we look at the combat, right? Do we love the combat? How do we change this up? Maybe looking at other franchises that's done similar combat with the kind of slowdown, move into the magic, and then come back into real-time combat with the sword slashing. How do we blend that a little bit smoother? I would like to see, but I think it's going to be a fun time. Yeah.
I'm looking forward to The Witcher 4, right? Like, I think...
what it was a year ago or maybe two years ago i forget when maybe there's a chat thing right chat let me know when did the witcher 3 like remaster come out for current gen because i picked that up it was like around december that i think i picked that up and started playing it and was like man i could use a new witcher game like it's been a long time since 2015 which is funny because like it feels like just yesterday that the witcher 3 came out and metal gear solid 5 came out and undertale and rocket going around that
giant question marks everywhere yeah and that felt like a I think that felt like a next-gen like fantasy RPG experience right like that was a huge title to come out that year and I think that generation or like that early on I think that made waves that did something and I think

Chapter 2: What new animated project is coming for Cyberpunk 2077?
Yeah. And then, unrelated, before we move on to the next one, Zeke Speak writes in and says, Blessing, did you beat Golden Idol? Because I finished it last night, and holy shit, I beat Case of the Golden Idol, and I'm about halfway through Rise of the Golden Idol right now. Let me tell you. Some good-ass video games right here. I love a good puzzle, man.
He's puzzle popping.
When you bring it together with a good story as well, and it's unexpected. How long are these run times? I mean, probably between six and nine hours. It took me like nine hours. I feel like Barrett probably beat him quicker.
Well, I played with Alyssa for half of the first game, and so that took us roughly six hours. She was... She was busy when I was playing the second game, so she only, like, was coming in and out a little bit. And that also took me, like, six, seven hours. Yeah.
I just want to pitch it for people out there, because both of those games are, like, it's got that late 90s point-and-click adventure vibe with, like, the more intense mechanics of, like, Carmen Sandiego. Yeah. And it's just very satisfying to put these puzzle pieces together and figure out what's going on in this moment in time. They're fucking awesome. I do like the first one more, though.
Do I have to play the first one to play the second one? I would recommend playing the first one. Good to know. Good to know.
Um, and also, yeah, I, I, so far I do like the first one better than the second one, even though I think the second one's great. Yeah.
The first one I think is like a nine. The second one I think is like an 8.5.
Yeah. I liked some of the changes that they make for the second one, but yeah, so far I do like, I just liked the first one. Um, I saw somebody in chat say, is Blessing wearing a Magic Man or a Psych Man in Magic Head shirt. I am. I am. Big Psych fan. Who's that? It's from the show Psych.
