The Witcher IV is a single-player, open-world RPG from CD PROJEKT RED. At the start of a new saga, players take on the role of Ciri, a professional monster slayer, and embark on a journey through a brutal dark-fantasy world.
What is happening now
The Witcher IV is an upcoming role-playing game arriving on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC in late 2028. As CD Projekt Red's next major entry following Geralt's trilogy, the game will continue the franchise's tradition of complex storytelling and character-driven narrative. Recent confirmation has indicated that a beloved character from the original Witcher series will make a return appearance, with the actor involved offering semi-official acknowledgment of their involvement. Details remain limited at this stage, though the character's inclusion suggests the new installment will maintain continuity with the established lore while potentially exploring fresh perspectives within the franchise's world.
