This new recruit, who previously worked on Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3, the undisputed GOTY 2023, will be a key player in the game&#8217;s development. Felix Pedulla, a former senior cinematic artist at Larian Studios, announced on LinkedIn that he is joining CD Projekt RED as a senior cinematic designer for The Witcher 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<strong><em>As one adventure ends, another begins!

The title isn&#8217;t expected to launch until 2027 at the earliest. However, CD Projekt RED has plans to release The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6 within six years of the fourth game&#8217;s debut. Only time will tell if the studio can meet those ambitious goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given Felix Pedulla&#8217;s significant contributions to the cinematics in Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3, which helped elevate the game to one of the best CRPGs of all time, his addition to the Witcher 4 team should be a thrilling prospect for fans of both series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/fedulla_newjob-careergrowth-gamingindustry-activity-7401304661347172352-uP_M\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/fedulla_newjob-careergrowth-gamingindustry-activity-7401304661347172352-uP_M\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":71847,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[19,77,78],"class_list":["post-71845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-baldurs-gate","tag-the-witcher","tag-the-witcher-4","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71845"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71845\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71848,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71845\/revisions\/71848"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gameblog.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
