The Witcher 4 Set for a 2028 Release, CD Projekt Red Confirms

Covered by 9 sources · 9 articles

CD Projekt Red has officially targeted 2028 for The Witcher 4's launch, the studio announced ahead of Gamescom. Joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski delivered the news via a social media video, framing the extended development window as necessary to deliver a worthwhile sequel. The announcement arrived alongside the studio's plans for its Gamescom presence, though specific details about what will be shown remain unclear from the available information.

The 2028 window represents a substantial gap following Cyberpunk 2077's troubled launch and the years spent stabilizing that title. CD Projekt Red has emphasized patience, suggesting the additional development time reflects the studio's commitment to the franchise's next chapter rather than a delay announcement per se.
