In 2002, another, newly created, Polish company, CD Projekt RED, received the rights to The Witcher, and in 2004, full-fledged development of the game began. Despite the cancellation of the project, there were publications about The Witcher from Metropolis in Polish magazines devoted to computer games. Formally, the project was never closed, but interest in it among developers was fading, in addition, Metropolis was developing another game, Gorky 17. The reasons why The Witcher from Metropolis was never released were that the developers had technical problems, and the publisher was not sure that a game with a setting inspired by Slavic mythology would have financial success with an international audience. The release of "The Witcher" was planned for 1997, the game was not in the genre of role-playing games, but closer to an action adventure with role-playing elements, but at the same time it focused on the plot component, designed for an adult audience, and the player was also asked to make complex moral choices - according to Hmelyazh, now no one is surprised by this, but in the 90s it was a novelty.

As a result, after correspondence by mail, Hmelyazh received Sapkovsky's permission to develop the game.

The development process was led by Adrian Hmelyazh, who later became famous for founding the studio People Can Fly.
