The last released entry was The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt which made its way almost seven years ago, in May 2015. It has become one of the most iconic titles in the beloved franchise so far.

Now, barring the first part that arrived in the month of October, the other succeeding games have followed a pattern of coming in May. Both the second and third installments launched on near similar dates, on May 17 2011, and May 18, 2015.

Does that mean that The Witcher’s new game, currently in development, will also debut in May?

Well, it seems to be a possibility, though, going by the last two offerings’ release window.

Who could be the main protagonist of in next game?

Meanwhile, the makers haven’t revealed anything regarding the central character who will be in focus in the new entry.

Taking about an indication from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, then Ciri may end up as the protagonist most of the fans have been looking forward to. She stands a great chance of being the main character, given that she had a major role in the last installment. Still, this is just an early theory, to say the least.
