Overview

  • CD Projekt Red confirmed in a short video on Monday that The Witcher 4 is targeting a 2028 release window while stopping short of a specific month or quarter.
  • The studio said Ciri will be the playable lead and that more than 500 developers are working on the title as a next‑generation Unreal Engine 5 project.
  • CDPR will not show Witcher 4 at Gamescom 2026 and will instead spotlight The Witcher 3 expansion Songs of the Past, which is scheduled to launch in 2027.
  • The company described the 2028 date as a target rather than a firm commitment, reflecting caution after past multi‑year development shifts and leaving room for further schedule changes.
  • The shift to Unreal Engine 5 and the claimed team size imply higher technical scope and possible platform or physical‑release implications for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series owners as the studio prepares a new saga.
