<p><a href="http://ift.tt/2eTs9Hc">2007 was a wonderful year for gaming</a>. It brought games like<a href="http://ift.tt/2pzSX6V"> Halo 3</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2oeKeFS">BioShock</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2pWijrd">Assassin&#8217;s Creed</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2ny2ngw">Portal</a>,<a href="http://ift.tt/2pPJHf4"> Rock Band</a>,<a href="http://ift.tt/2nW1ui0"> Crysis</a>, <a href="http://ift.tt/2nHQCoa">Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare</a>, and <a href="http://ift.tt/2skX2fv">Super Mario Galaxy</a>. Another game released that year that would go on to spawn a franchise was <a href="http://ift.tt/2nNOjjX">The Witcher</a>. It&#8217;s now 10 years old (!!!), and to celebrate the milestone, developer CD Projekt Red put out a nice video that shows main character Geralt looking back on his memories as part of a birthday party where people are playing Gwent, of course. </p>
<p>How many franchise characters can you spot? Check out the video below.</p>

<p>The Witcher was followed up by <a href="http://ift.tt/2n0oEQr">The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings</a> in 2011 and then <a href="http://ift.tt/2mAazhu">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt</a> in May 2015&#8211;<a href="http://ift.tt/2eTsb1M">it was GameSpot&#8217;s Game of the Year</a>. CD Projekt Red released two expansions for it&#8211;<a href="http://ift.tt/2gDmOaF">Hearts of Stone </a>and <a href="http://ift.tt/2eSBQFR">Blood and Wine</a>&#8211;and <a href="http://ift.tt/2s1rCtL">updates for the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro are coming</a>.</p>
<p>But after that, it <a href="http://ift.tt/2oEoAqQ">sounds like the franchise is taking a rest</a>. </p>
<p>The Witcher 3 was the<a href="http://ift.tt/2nfYZFj"> last game to star Geralt</a>, but there could be more games in the series without him. The Witcher 3 was a critical and commercial success, so The Witcher 4 coming to market eventually seems likely,<a href="http://ift.tt/2oE2dli">though it surely won&#8217;t happen soon</a>. In December 2015, CD Projekt Red CEO Adam Kicinski said it <a href="http://ift.tt/2ogzUNF">would be unfair to fans of the series not to make a fourth game</a>.</p>
<p>CD Projekt Red is currently working on the ambitious-sounding <a href="http://ift.tt/2mAtEA0">Cyberpunk 2077</a>, in addition to ongoing support for <a href="http://ift.tt/2oe7l3L">Gwent: The Witcher Card Game</a>.</p>
