The Witcher 4 is slowly taking shape, and one of the most important aspects of the project has already been confirmed. CD Projekt RED will once again team up with Marcin Przybyłowicz, the lead composer of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, to handle the soundtrack for the new installment.

The confirmation comes from Paweł Sasko, who was part of the development team for The Witcher 3 and is still associated with the studio. This move makes it clear that CD Projekt wants to maintain artistic continuity in one of the most memorable elements of the saga.

Since its release, the music of The Witcher 3 has become one of the pillars of its identity, transcending the game itself. The return of Przybyłowicz points to a clear intention to preserve that recognizable character, adapting it to a new era of the franchise.

A key composer in CD Projekt RED’s recent history

Marcin Przybyłowicz is no ordinary name within the Polish studio. In addition to his work on The Witcher 3, he was also the lead composer of Cyberpunk 2077, solidifying a trust relationship with CD Projekt RED that has been strengthened over the years.

His work on the third Witcher game stood out for its use of traditional and folk instruments, such as violins, flutes, ethnic percussion, and Slavic roots, which gave the game world a very distinct personality. Pieces like Geralt of Rivia, Kaer Morhen, or The Fields of Ard Skellig are still remembered as some of the most iconic compositions in the genre.

Although details about the musical approach of The Witcher 4 have not been shared yet, Przybyłowicz’s return guarantees a solid foundation to build upon. For many players, this confirmation is a clear sign that CD Projekt RED wants to respect the saga’s legacy while moving forward to a new era.
