In an interview with GameSpot, CD Projekt RED’s game director, Sebastian Kalemba, discussed how romance and relationships work in The Witcher 4. The director revealed, “It’s a part of the way we make games. It is a part of human nature. It’s a very normal thing. Without that I think we wouldn’t be able to tell the very full story.” Kalemba followed this up with, “We want to pay a lot of attention to it and make it super compelling and very meaningful. So it’s not just to make a romance for the sake of making a romance. That’s not the CDPR way.”
