The Witcher 4’s open world will be about the same size as The Witcher 3’s map. This was confirmed by the game director, Sebastian Kalemba, in an interview.
While some might expect the new game’s world to be bigger, fans actually like that the map stays the same size. The Witcher 3’s map was already very large, and many players found it balanced well with the game’s story and quests.
Fans on Reddit shared their opinions. One user said that keeping the map size the same allows the developers to focus more on making each location detailed and interesting. Another fan agreed and said they hope for more variety in places, but are happy with the size.
The developers also want side quests to be more engaging and less like filler content. This shows that the team aims for quality rather than just adding more things to do.
Overall, fans seem happy with the decision. They prefer a strong, well-designed world instead of a bigger map filled with repetitive tasks.
The Witcher 4 promises a rich experience with a map size fans already love.
