CD Projekt RED’s Paweł Sasko Reveals How A Beetroot Farmer Came To Work On The Witcher 4

Speaking on the Flow Games podcast, CD Projekt RED‘s Pawel Sasko has revealed how a beetroot farmer based in Australia came to the attention of the studio and ended up working on The Witcher 4.

I saw the video and I was like, ‘damn this is such high quality work, so I asked [CDPR narrative director Philipp Weber], who is a modder, ‘do you know this guy in the community?’ and he said, ‘yeah, I know who he is,” [and I said] message him and tell him to send us his CV.’ He sent me the CV and we did the test, the test was wonderful. He was great. He did great design test.

And then we had conversations, and he was I think 20 or 21, and he was at this time in Australia, and he was collecting beetroot with a huge combine, like those huge harvesters that are driving and collecting. That’s what he was doing, and he was modding in the evenings. So I got him from Australia to Poland, and he’s from Estonia and his name’s Eero Varendi. Yeah, amazing guy. He’s a senior right now on Polaris, the new Witcher game. He’s obsessed about Witcher.

Speaking on the same podcast, Sakso also revealed that The Witcher 4 as the most advanced of its upcoming projects, although having said that it’s still going to be a while before it sees the light of day.
