The world of cinema, television, and video games is in mourning after the passing of Alexander Morton, a Scottish actor who left an indelible mark on the industry. Morton, who passed away on April 15 at the age of 81, was acclaimed for his intense acting career, but is especially remembered for his contribution to the world of video games, where he lent his voice to the charismatic Zoltan Chivay in the acclaimed installments of The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3.

The Witcher franchise mourns its loss

Zoltan is a beloved character in the saga, known for his loyalty to Geralt of Rivia, his straightforward character, and his often carefree humor in a world marked by violence. Morton’s portrayal gave the dwarf a charming and authentic personality, thus solidifying his place in the hearts of players. His Scottish accent and deep voice perfectly complemented the image of the veteran dwarf, enriching the narrative of the universe created by Andrzej Sapkowski.

Morton was not limited to the CD Projekt saga; his career spanned various productions in British television and film, including appearances on the BBC and movies like Valhalla Rising. In addition to his iconic role as Zoltan, he also lent his voice to other notable video games such as Killzone 2, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Fable 2, Age of Conan, and Viking: Battle for Asgard.

CD Projekt, responsible for the popular franchise, paid tribute to Morton through an emotional post on Bluesky, thanking the actor for bringing Zoltan to life and highlighting the depth his performance added to Geralt’s universe. “The Continent already misses you,” concluded the Polish studio’s message, making it clear the impact his talent had on the saga.

Will we see The Witcher IV at the next Unreal Fest? Its director clarifies it

CD Projekt RED has recently caused a stir by hinting that The Witcher IV could be presented at Unreal Fest 2026. However, this supposed confirmation seems to be the result of a misunderstanding rather than an official statement from the Polish company. Maciej Pietras, the animation director, created confusion during an appearance on the AsweRED Podcast, where he discussed the technologies showcased at Unreal Fest 2025, an event that celebrated innovation in the Unreal Engine graphics engine.

CD Projekt RED has recently caused a stir by hinting that The Witcher IV could be presented at Unreal Fest 2026. However, this supposed confirmation seems to be the result of a misunderstanding rather than an official statement from the Polish company.

Maciej Pietras, the animation director, created confusion during an appearance on the AsweRED Podcast, where he discussed the technologies showcased at Unreal Fest 2025, an event that celebrated innovation in the Unreal Engine graphics engine.

Broken Telephone

At one point in the conversation, Pietras mistakenly referred to the 2026 edition, which led many to interpret his words as a confirmation of the upcoming game. In reality, the director was reflecting on the magical possibilities that Unreal Engine 5 offers, and how the development team had demonstrated its capabilities at last year’s event.

What if we do everything we’ve always imagined that [requires] cutting-edge technology?, he commented, with no intention of confirming the presentation of The Witcher IV.

Despite the confusion, expectations among fans remain high. CD Projekt RED has participated in previous editions of Unreal Fest, where they have indeed showcased significant technical advancements, as was the case with the demonstration of Ciri at the last event.

It is a reminder of the company’s reputation in the video game industry and its commitment to pushing technological boundaries. For those eager for news about The Witcher IV, it is worth staying tuned for future updates that CD Projekt RED may share in the future, especially at events like Unreal Fest.

This game, originally released in 2018 by CD Projekt, is set in the universe of The Witcher and features a storyline that follows Queen Meve of Lyria and Rivia in her fight against the Nilfgaardian invasion, set before the events of the main games in the franchise.

A Year in the Shadows

Thronebreaker, which won the hearts of players with an impressive 96% positive reviews on Steam, combines strategic and narrative elements that align with the quality expected from CD Projekt, the developer of renowned titles such as The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. However, it was in 2025 when mobile device players were frustrated to see the game vanish from Google Play and the App Store due to a critical bug on Android that made it almost unplayable.

Over time and after making the necessary corrections, CD Projekt has announced the relaunch of the game on mobile platforms, although it is still noted that it may take up to 24 hours to be available in all markets. This reappearance represents an opportunity for new players to discover one of the richest and most narrative experiences in the universe of The Witcher, and for former users to resume the path of Queen Meve.

As the fan community continues to await news about The Witcher 4, the return of Thronebreaker serves as a reminder of the depth and richness of the world created by Andrzej Sapkowski and brought to life by CD Projekt. With the recent adaptation to touch screens and cross-save options with other platforms, the developers aim to provide a smoother and more accessible gaming experience for everyone.

Recently, rumors have emerged about the development of a third expansion for the acclaimed video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, aimed at a planned release for May 2026. According to reports from IGN, the project is in an advanced stage of development.

Is The Witcher 4 on the horizon?

The new expansion would be set in a desert environment, which could correspond to the region of Zerrikania, and possibly will serve as a narrative link to the anticipated The Witcher 4, which is planned for 2027.

Since the last expansion, Blood and Wine, was released, ten years have passed, adding a sense of nostalgia and excitement to the possibility of this new content. The expansion is expected to be comparable in size to Blood and Wine, so players will be able to enjoy a rich experience in story and exploration, available only on the most powerful platforms, such as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Fool’s Theory, the studio currently working on the remake of the first game in the saga, would be responsible for developing this expansion, which can provide an additional incentive for players looking for a renewed and high-quality experience. However, as is common in the video game industry, it is essential to take this news with caution until an official announcement is made by CD Projekt RED.

The possibility that this expansion could be a spin-off, like a The Witcher 3.5, has also been mentioned, which opens up a range of interesting narrative options. We will be on the lookout for any updates and official announcements that confirm this anticipated expansion of The Witcher universe.

Will 2026 be the year we see new content for The Witcher 3?

Speculations about a possible downloadable content for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have grown in recent months, driven by statements from CD Projekt and leaks pointing to its release in 2026. The developer has set a target of 475 million euros in net profits accumulated between 2023 and 2026, suggesting that a new DLC could represent a significant opportunity, estimated to generate around 150 million euros in revenue.

The developer has set a target of 475 million euros in net profits accumulated between 2023 and 2026, suggesting that a new DLC could represent a significant opportunity, estimated to generate around 150 million euros in revenue.

I neither confirm nor deny

In a recent talk with investors, CD Projekt discussed its ambitious expectations for 2026, indicating that after having completed eleven of the sixteen quarters of the plan, there are still 166 million euros needed to reach its goal. The company has hinted that new content could be announced soon, with the possibility of being released this year, which would have a significant impact on its financial results.

Some leaks suggest that the DLC for The Witcher 3 will be released in 2026. However, CD Projekt has refused to comment on the rumors, stating that it will make announcements at the most appropriate time for the company. Although analysts are optimistic about the profitability of this project, there are also technical complications, such as the fact that the game engine used in The Witcher 3 is outdated, which could complicate the development of the new content.

While the rumors of a presentation at recent events, such as the Game Awards, did not materialize, there is a palpable expectation in the gaming community. An successful DLC could not only close the story of Geralt of Rivia but also serve as a springboard for the marketing campaign of The Witcher 4, a title that is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases alongside GTA 6.

CD Projekt RED is on the path to developing one of the most anticipated titles in the industry: The Witcher IV. This new installment will revolve around the journey of Ciri, a central character in the saga who has captured the imagination of players. The anticipation for this game has been high, reaching the top spots in the Golden Joystick Awards, and although its release date has not yet been revealed, there is a lot of hype in the world of video games.

Ready for the new trilogy

In a strategic move, CD Projekt RED has brought on Felix Pedulla, a former cinematic artist from Larian Studios, known for his work on Baldur’s Gate 3, as a senior cinematic designer. Pedulla expressed his excitement about joining CD Projekt RED, calling this opportunity a dream come true. While his LinkedIn post did not specifically mention The Witcher IV, one of the hashtags he used suggests that his skills will be directed towards this project. This is well received, as many players appreciated the cinematics of Baldur’s Gate 3, which were crucial to the title’s success.

In addition, CD Projekt RED has revealed its ambitious roadmap, which includes a new trilogy of The Witcher scheduled to be released over a span of six years. This would mean that The Witcher V could appear three years after the release of the fourth installment. To streamline the development process, the studio plans to use Unreal Engine 5, which would allow them to optimize their workflows. However, the AAA video game industry typically demands years of meticulous work, raising doubts about whether they will be able to meet these aggressive deadlines.

Rumors suggest that, although CD Projekt RED has big plans, the reality of development could lead to potential delays in the new trilogy, which increases fans’ attention towards any future announcements from the studio.

With a team of nearly 450 developers, the studio is currently in the large-scale production phase of The Witcher 4, set to be released between 2027 and 2028. This new title begins a trilogy that is expected to conclude over a period of six years, as CD Projekt has decided to abandon its REDengine graphics engine in favor of Unreal Engine 5, thus seeking to avoid the technical issues that marked the launch of Cyberpunk 2077.

A sequel that will arrive relatively soon

Co-executive director Michal Nowakowski commented on his positive experience working with Unreal Engine 5, stating that this transition will allow the studio to recycle resources and systems between future games, which should speed up development times. “We believe that the next games should be released in a shorter time frame,” Nowakowski noted, emphasizing that his goal is to have a more controlled development time between The Witcher 4 and its sequels.

In parallel, CD Projekt RED is also working on a remake of the first The Witcher, which aims to modernize the narrative and mission design, and which will be released after The Witcher 4. Additionally, the studio is completely rethinking Project Sirius, a cooperative spin-off of The Witcher, following a reboot in 2023.

Regarding the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, currently in pre-production, CD Projekt RED plans to increase its staff from 135 to nearly 400 employees in the coming years, although it is expected that this title will not be released before 2030. With over 35 million copies sold of Cyberpunk 2077, the studio seeks to capitalize on the success of this franchise while advancing its open-world RPG offering.

Liam Hemsworth acknowledges that he is a fan of The Witcher and that made him accept the role of Geralt

The fourth season of The Witcher arrived on Netflix several weeks ago, but it has not been received as expected, accumulating only 58% positive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the lowest-rated season of the series to date. Despite its poor performance in viewership, production has already completed filming for the fifth and final installment, thus ensuring that the story of Geralt of Rivia will continue.

The fourth season of The Witcher has arrived on Netflix several weeks ago, but it has not been received as expected, accumulating only 58% positive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the lowest-rated season of the series to date. Despite its poor performance in viewership, the production has already completed filming for the fifth and final installment, thus ensuring that the story of Geralt of Rivia will continue.

I wouldn’t have accepted if I didn’t respect Henry Cavill’s work

Liam Hemsworth, who takes on the iconic role of Geralt after Henry Cavill’s departure, has shared his motivations for accepting this challenge. In a recent interview with Radio Times, the actor expressed that his love for the character was fundamental in his decision. “I think if I weren’t a fan, if I didn’t care, I wouldn’t have accepted the role. I accepted the role because I’m a fan and because I thought I could do justice to the character,” Hemsworth stated, making his commitment to the portrayal clear.

Despite some critics praising his performance, the overall response has been mixed, with voices in the press considering that his version of Geralt has not managed to capture the essence of the character. Hemsworth, however, remains optimistic about the direction his character is taking this season. “Geralt is in a very real moment of change, a moment I don’t think he has experienced many times. There is a lot of doubt, confusion, and concern,” he commented, highlighting the emotional complexity his character addresses in this installment.

This context has generated expectations among the series’ followers, eager to see how the narrative will unfold in the remaining episodes and in the upcoming final season. However, the negative reception of this fourth installment raises questions about the future of the series and how it will capture the attention of fans with this new interpretation of Geralt.

The Witcher kills one of its most iconic characters in its fourth season, making fans understand the massive drop in viewership

This Thursday marks two weeks since the premiere of the fourth season of The Witcher, and although the audience figures have experienced a notable drop compared to previous seasons, millions of viewers have already enjoyed the new adventures of Ciri, Geralt of Rivia, and Yennefer. However, the series has not been without controversy, especially regarding the deaths of some iconic characters.

This Thursday marks two weeks since the premiere of the fourth season of The Witcher, and although the audience figures have seen a notable decline compared to previous seasons, millions of viewers have already enjoyed the new adventures of Ciri, Geralt of Rivia, and Yennefer. However, the series has not been without controversy, especially regarding the deaths of some iconic characters.

A series that was everything and is going downhill without brakes

Among the characters who have died in the series are Keira Metz, Margarita Laux-Antille, Istredd, and perhaps the most shocking for fans, Vesemir. These events not only diverge from the established canon in the books and video games, but they have also generated considerable discontent among the followers of Andrzej Sapkowski’s saga. The death of Vesemir, in particular, has been met with displeasure on platforms like YouTube, where users have expressed their frustration by considering that this death was “absolutely senseless.”

Lauren S. Hissrich, showrunner of the series, has defended the decisions made, arguing that the deaths are necessary for the development of some characters. In recent statements, she mentioned that the loss of certain characters, like Margarita, was essential to propel Yennefer to a new level of resentment and anger in the plot. However, this justification has not satisfied many fans, who feel that the creative decisions of the writers break with the continuity and essence of the original story.

As a fifth and final season is announced, controversy persists. Many are wondering if these drastic changes in the lore will bring more discontent among the fanbase, especially when there are such high expectations regarding fidelity to the original work. In a universe where stories can evolve, the challenge will be to achieve a balance that respects the roots of the saga while introducing new narrative.
