CD Projekt Red is setting a new standard for NPC development in The Witcher 4. Following feedback on Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3, the studio aims to create a truly immersive world where every character feels alive.
Game director Sebastian Kalemba outlined their new approach: “Our rule is: every NPC should seem to be living their own life, with their own story.”
This vision is evident in the first trailer, showcasing the remote village of Stromford. Villagers adhere to local superstitions, worshipping a forest deity. One scene depicts a girl praying in the woods until Ciri arrives to battle a monster.
Kalemba further elaborated: “We aim for maximum realism in NPCs—from their appearance and facial expressions to their behavior. This will create deeper immersion than ever before. We're striving for unparalleled quality.”
Developers plan to imbue each village and character with unique traits and narratives, reflecting the beliefs and cultural nuances of isolated communities.
The Witcher 4's 2025 release date has fans anticipating further revelations about the game's innovative world and character building.
