That medallion from the new Witcher game was a lynx, by the way

The missing lynx

Dunno if you’ve heard, but they’re makinga new Witcher game. Sounds cool, I love indie games. Anyway, it’s now been confirmed that the animal medallion they teased a few days ago was a lynx.

“Ok, some mysteries should not be so mysterious,” CD Projekt Red’s global communication director Robert Malinowskisaid to Eurogamer. “I can confirm that the medallion is, in fact, shaped after a lynx.” So there you go, it’s all solved. Except, hang on, I still have no idea what that means.

There was a lot of speculation initially that the medallion might be about Ciri, because she gets a cat medallion in one of the books or something. But it turns out that there is no Lynx School in any of the Witcher stuff that’s been released so far. It’s not in the books, not in the games, andcertainlynot in the Netflix TV show.

I’m guessing CD Projekt Red isnotgoing to be using fanfiction as the basis for their story. The most reasonable guess I have is thatThe Witcher 4(not even confirmed as the project’s name yet) will be about a new, unseen witcher character entirely. Geralt had a wolf medallion, so this has gotta be someone else right? Maybe you’ll even get to customise them, in the same way thatCyberpunk 2077lets you make your own version of V. Wait, does this mean other witcher schools exist? Is there a mandrill school we don’t know about?

There’s almost no information on what the new Witcher game is about, or when it’s coming out, but we do know it’s usingUnreal Engine 5and won’t be Epic Games Store exclusive. But what thecommunity wants to seefrom it is a separate issue, with Ed opting for a horse thatlets you double-jump.
