The Witcher 4 is set to be the beginning of a new trilogy, and for this, developer CD Projekt Red is currently bringing in many new talents. It is now known that a developer from Baldur’s Gate 3 is joining the team.
Who is this developer? CD Projekt Red has now brought on Felix Pedulla. The developer was involved as a Senior Cinematic Artist on Baldur’s Gate 3 – meaning he worked on some of the elaborately staged cutscenes in the game.
If you’re curious: On YouTube, Pedulla has uploaded a showreel. There, you can see in just under two minutes which film sequences he worked on in BG3 and what exactly he did.
Here you can see another trailer for the new Witcher game:
Pedulla is now transitioning to CD Projekt Red: There, he will work as a Senior Cinematic Designer on The Witcher 4, as he reveals in a LinkedIn post.
Time to trade in my Baldur’s Gate dice for some Polish steel and get to work crafting some epic cutscenes.
Judging by the post and his new job title, Pedulla will also work on cinematic cutscenes in The Witcher 4.
CD Projekt Red is reaching out for talents from other studios
He’s not the only one: CD Projekt Red is snatching up talents from well-known studios for its new Witcher trilogy around Ciri. Karel Kolmann, who worked as a gameplay designer at Warhorse Studios on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, is now also involved in Witcher – but as a Senior Quest Designer, as he proudly announced in an X-Post on November 10, 2025.
Some people on the internet are already joking that CD Projekt Red is assembling “the Avengers” for its new Witcher trilogy. After all, the current new recruits are experienced developers who have worked on highly acclaimed games in the past.
CD Projekt Red is not only shopping for developers for the upcoming Witcher trilogy but also for their new Cyberpunk game. They have also secured a high-profile developer: Liz Albl, who previously worked on the still-in-development BioShock 4.
Albl is joining the team behind Cyberpunk 2 as a Senior Writer. In her LinkedIn profile, she is also listed as a Senior Writer for the Samurai Open World game Ghost of Tsushima. Before that, she spent 5 years at Ubisoft working on games like Far Cry 4 and 5 as well as Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag.
Big games often influence each other – this also applies to The Witcher 4 and Baldur’s Gate 3. CD Projekt Red even admits this. However, one should not expect a copy: The creators of Witcher 4 explain how Baldur’s Gate 3 influenced them – And why your RPG will still be very different
