Overview

  • CD Projekt Red said Monday that The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release window without an exact date.
  • The company confirmed Ciri will be the playable lead and said more than 500 developers are working on what it calls its biggest and most ambitious game to date.
  • The Witcher 4 will not be shown at Gamescom 2026 and CDPR will instead showcase The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past, which the studio says is due in 2027.
  • CDPR is building the project for current‑generation platforms with a next‑gen technical focus using Unreal Engine 5 and some reports note the new world may be similar in scope to The Witcher 3.
  • The studio framed 2028 as a target rather than a firm date and warned schedules could change, meaning fans should expect further updates and possible shifts before launch.
