Witcher 3 writer returns to CDPR after 10 years
A decade after its release, The Witcher 3 remains a monumental achievement in the world of video games, celebrated for its rich narrative and unforgettable characters. Central to that epic tapestry were the masterful writers who shaped its world, and among them, Karolina Stachyra stands out as a true talent.
Stachyra spent several formative years at CD Projekt Red, serving as a senior writer on the game from 2012 to 2016. Her contributions extended far beyond simple dialogue; she was instrumental in shaping the core storyline and designing some of the most beloved questlines in the franchise, including the celebrated Bloody Baron and the memorable Dead Man’s Party.
Now, that celebrated talent is returning to the studio as an expert writer. This timely return brings fresh perspective and deep institutional knowledge to the team, perfectly positioning her for the next generation of epic fantasy. While details on her current projects remain under wraps, the timing suggests she is poised to contribute to upcoming titles, whether that involves the The Witcher 3 Remastered or new DLC expansions.
Her journey back to CD Projekt Red highlights a fascinating period of growth within the studio. This is not an isolated move; the company continues to attract some of the industry’s most sought-after talent. In May, the team welcomed Zdeněk Glatz, a senior designer and writer from Kingdom Come: Deliverance, alongside other veterans, including former developers from Baldur’s Gate 3 and former Mass Effect lead, who is joining as an AI director.
This infusion of expertise is part of a larger creative expansion at the studio. In the past year alone, CD Projekt Red has expanded its development team significantly, bringing on over 220 new developers, all working on ambitious RPG projects. With the studio already deep into developing the highly anticipated The Witcher 4, alongside other exciting titles like Cyberpunk 2, the future for the company looks incredibly bright. It is a brilliant time to be an RPG enthusiast, watching these epic worlds evolve.
