Romances in The Witcher 4 will be deep, meaningful, and super compelling, says CD Projekt RED.
CD Projekt RED has confirmed that romance will return in The Witcher 4, but the studio wants it to be much more than just optional love interests.
Game director Sebastian Kalemba said romance is an important part of how the studio tells stories and that they want relationships to be “super compelling and very meaningful.”
Executive producer Małgorzata Mitręga also said romance is an important part of life and storytelling, so they don’t want to add it just for the sake of having romance options.
What this could mean:
- More developed relationships instead of short romances.
- Choices that could have emotional consequences, similar to some of the best storylines in The Witcher 3.
- More focus on Ciri’s personal life
- More complex relationships, possibly inspired by how Ciri is portrayed in the books.
Based on CD Projekt RED’s previous games, it looks like the studio wants romances to feel like a natural part of the story rather than separate side content.

The Long Saturday teaches us that there often is a dark valley between apparent tragedy and triumphant victory.
His body was off the cross and in the grave.
All the disciples went back home in a cloud of failure to do mundane things. After months and years of crowds and miracles and life on the road, everything had come to an anticlimactic end. They had to draw water, find something to eat, clean up the house. They had to find a new normal after their great failure. But even more difficult, life after His “great failure.” They had to sit in that on that long, long Saturday.
But Sunday morning did come with a hopeful rebuke: “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is risen.”
What a way to learn never to doubt the surprising path of providence. What a way to learn never to doubt God’s promises, even when they look impossible. The impossible is His specialty.
Thank God for the Long Saturday. It trains us to trust in the in-between. Even now, we live in a kind of long Saturday, between his first and second coming. Just as He ascended from the grave, so shall He descend from heaven.
Compared to the endless life we will enjoy with him, even our longest Saturdays will seem like a brief shadow that passed quickly.
