Overview
- Ganszyniec has wrapped a 26-part designer’s commentary playthrough on YouTube, his first time revisiting The Witcher in almost 20 years.
- He says the final CG outro was created without the story team’s involvement and calls it a mistake that pushed the follow-up toward a more political storyline.
- Revisiting the rushed epilogue he largely implemented, he criticizes its design and accepts personal responsibility for its rough edges.
- He recalls joining in 2006 to rebuild the narrative from earlier drafts, refocusing the game to make Geralt of Rivia the central protagonist.
- A ground-up remake in Unreal Engine 5 is in development at Fool’s Theory with no release date, and he is not involved after leaving CD Projekt in 2010, though CDPR veterans have flagged his series.
