Karolina Stachyra, who wrote The Witcher 3's Bloody Baron / Family Matters questline, is back at CD Projekt Red full-time. She left in 2016, spent about a decade at Techland and updated her LinkedIn in August 2026 after consulting for the studio from February to July.
What we know
CDPR has not officially tied Stachyra to a specific title. The change came from her professional profile. Reports describe a full-time writer or expert writer role; the internal project remains unconfirmed.
Paweł Sasko designed the quest; Stachyra wrote it. Family Matters won a 2015 Golden Joystick for Best Gaming Moment. She also worked on main story, side quests, dialogue, journal text and the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions.
Why it matters
CDPR is developing The Witcher 4 (Ciri, Unreal Engine 5, 2028 window), a remake of the first Witcher and a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel. Fans speculate Witcher 4 or the Songs of the Past expansion. The studio has not confirmed either assignment.
