The Witcher 3 teased?

Polish developer CD Projekt Red has added to existing rumours that a Witcher 3 announcement could be on the way.

Posting on the official Witcher community site, the developer revealed an image above an update on the REDkit beta program.

The image depicts the hilt of Witcher protagonist Geralt's sword.

"If you are wondering what's that in that picture above--well, we'll leave it for your imagination to answer," the developer said.

Last week, a secret message from CD Projekt Red was reportedly uncovered in the developer's Cyberpunk 2077 trailer, which spoke of a "fully open-world game with an intense story".

CD Projekt Red has announced that it will reveal its next project on February 5. The REDkit is the developer's set of Witcher 2 modding tools.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was released in May 2011 for the PC to a warm critical reception, later arriving on the Xbox 360.
