Polygon has published a list recommending eight games for fans of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to play while they wait for new instalments in the series, noting that a remastered version of the game is due later this month and that both the Songs of the Past expansion (2027) and The Witcher 4 (2028) remain some way off. The recommendations focus on titles sharing The Witcher 3's hallmarks: expansive open worlds, absorbing side quests, memorable characters and fluid combat.

Among the picks detailed are The Blood of Dawnwalker, an upcoming title from Rebel Wolves, a studio led by former Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz; Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red's own follow-up, now much improved after its 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty expansion; Capcom's Dragon's Dogma 2, praised for its distinctive combat and fantasy setting, soon to receive a Dark Arisen expansion; and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, a historically grounded RPG set in 15th-century Bohemia noted for its immersive, simulation-driven world.
