CD Projekt Red is targeting a 2028 launch window for The Witcher 4, according to The Verge. Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski shared the window in a new video, while the studio is also preparing more Witcher content before then. The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past is scheduled for 2027 and is tied to Gamescom coverage.
This is a useful gaming update because it resets expectations. The Witcher 4 has been in development for years, but fans should not expect it immediately. The studio appears to be using the wider Witcher universe to keep momentum alive while the next mainline title continues production. For the audience, the headline is simple: the next big Witcher game is still years away.
