<p><a href="http://ift.tt/1oRxRGe">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt </a>developer CD Projekt Red has put to rest any speculation that the studio may be working on a new entry in the series after the Blood &amp; Wine DLC is launched.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can assure you we are not working on another Witcher,&#8221; said studio co-founder Marcin Iwinski, speaking to <a href="http://ift.tt/20dSMWs" rel="nofollow">Eurogamer.</a> &#8220;This is the end. Blood and Wine is [the] closing and there won&#8217;t be any Witcher any time soon&#8211;if there ever will be one.&#8221;</p>

<p>CD Projekt Red has previously confirmed it will release a new game later this year. Although there are no details on this unannounced title, it will reportedly be a <a href="http://ift.tt/1RVJBqL">&#8220;new type of video game format previously unexplored by the studio.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>The studio is also developing <a href="http://ift.tt/1RVJBqL">Cyberpunk 2077</a>, which is <a href="http://ift.tt/1RVJBqL">penciled in for launch in the 2017-2021 window</a>. In addition to this, it has said it plans to<a href="http://ift.tt/1RVJBqL"> release another AAA RPG</a> in that same period. This, many speculated, would be a new Witcher title. However, Iwinski&#8217;s statements indicate otherwise.</p>
<p>The Witcher 3&#8217;s game director, Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, previously expressed an <a href="http://ift.tt/27hATLA">interest in returning to the series</a> after the studio was done with Cyberpunk 2077.</p>
<p>&#8220;Personally, I hope that someday in the future we will do something more because I love the setting and I work on The Witcher games around 12 years right now,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But I don&#8217;t know what we will decide. The strategy plan they&#8217;ve got they will share with us soon. We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;</p>
<p>Blood and Wine launches on May 31 for <a href="http://ift.tt/1Bi4aFX">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/VonjoT">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="http://ift.tt/PPYTC3">PC</a>. It is The Witcher 3&#8217;s second paid expansion, following <a href="http://ift.tt/1m9tUBz">Hearts of Stone</a> last October. Blood and Wine features more than 90 new quests and 40 points of interest to explore. Overall, the content should offer <a href="http://ift.tt/24Ix5ki">around 30 hours of gameplay</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://ift.tt/1oRxRGe">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</a> has <a href="http://ift.tt/21yZMwM">shipped around 10 million copies</a>. A <a href="http://ift.tt/1mshjJ0">Witcher movie is also in the works with <em>The Mummy </em>producers</a>, but CD Projekt Red does not appear to be involved. The film is expected to premiere in 2017, but there are no details on a cast, director, or story.</p>
