Fans had been waiting for it for many years and just a few dates ago it became a reality. CD Projekt RED confirmed the development of a new witcher game which will mark the beginning of “a new saga”. They expected it so much that the reaction has been passionate and massive. In fact, the tweet announcement of the new The Witcher has become one of the most successful in the history of Twitter Gaming. This has been confirmed by the industry analyst Benji Sales, where he has explained some of the data that has boosted the new CD Projekt to the top of the social network.
People are clearly excited for a new Witcher game
Over 300k likes for the announcement Tweet. That’s among the biggest gaming announcement Tweets ever and bigger than Rockstar Games announcement of Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s also bigger than any Official Cyberpunk 2077 Tweet pic.twitter.com/AX3eQgZIMB

“People are clearly excited for a new Witcher game. More than 300,000 likes for the announcement tweet. That puts it among the biggest video game announcements ever on Twitter and it’s bigger than the Red Dead Redemption 2 announcement. It’s also bigger than any official Cyberpunk 2077 tweet,” Benji notes. As the analyst is well pointed out in the responses to his message, there is only one video game announcement tweet that has surpassed the new The Witcher. And it is none other than the recent confirmation of GTA VI, which exceeded 600,000 likes and, therefore, doubled the impact achieved by the next CD Projekt title.

These figures only ratify the popularity of the saga created by Andrzej Sapkowski, which became a worldwide phenomenon with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (for many the best game of the last generation) and that definitely exploded with the arrival of the license on the small screen in the form of a Netflix series. Now CD Projekt is preparing to take the next step with “a new saga” that, for now, we do not know what it will entail, although it seems clear that Geralt de Rivia will no longer be the protagonist of the franchise.
