Yes, That’s The School Of The Lynx Medallion In Witcher 4
Update: CD Projekt Red has confirmed to Eurogamer that this is, indeed, the School of the Lynx medallion.
Ever since CD Projekt Red revealed that it’s working on Witcher 4—or whatever the subsequent title will be—there’s been a bit of a hubbub over the teaser image the studio has released to whip Witcher fans into a frenzy. It’s an image of a Witcher medallion partially buried in snow, but what’s evident is that it’s clearly not a medallion from the School of the Wolf, which series protagonist Geralt of Rivia came from. In fact, it looks suspiciously feline-shaped, which has caused many Witcher pundits to declare that this is a medallion from the School of the Cat initially.
The implications behind this reveal are manifold. Perhaps it’s a sign that Geralt will no longer be the key protagonist of the series. Some have suggested the Cat means that Ciri, who once possessed a medallion from the School of the Cat after wrenching it from the hands of a dead bounty hunter, is going to be the next playable hero in the upcoming title. What has caused pause, however, is that the medallion does not resemble any emblems from the series’ rich tapestry of Witcher schools. Unlike the School of the Cat medallion that Ciri is carrying, the teaser image’s medallion featured sharper ears and a mane that resembles a lynx. At the same time, there’s no school known as the School of the Lynx in the Witcher universe aside from a Witcher fanfiction. In other words, if this is a new Witcher school, it’ll only shatter the unimpeachable laws of Witcher canon.
