CD Projekt Red confirmed The Witcher 4 is aiming for a 2028 launch, though the studio stopped short of locking in a firm date. The announcement came ahead of Gamescom's Opening Night Live event, though the game itself won't be on the show floor. The publisher divulged limited specifics otherwise, keeping most details under wraps as development continues.
The 2028 target represents a significant gap from The Witcher 3's 2015 release, reflecting the scope of the sequel CDPR is attempting. Whether that window holds will depend on how development progresses over the next few years.
- The 2028 window is a target, not a guaranteed release date, leaving room for potential delays.
- The Witcher 4 won't appear at Gamescom despite the timing of the announcement.
- Few concrete details have emerged beyond the release timeframe, suggesting the project remains in earlier development stages.
