“The Witcher” title is accompanied by the text, “A new saga begins.” While there are a number of different ways to take that, it does at least eliminate the possibility that this will be a remake of the original Witcher game as some had speculated.

There were no additional details offered regarding where the company is in development or the slightest hint of a release date.
