The Witcher 4 developers target a 2028 release

CD Projekt Red is aiming to launch The Witcher 4 sometime in 2028, joint CEO Michał Nowakowski says in a new video. CD Projekt Red has been working on its next mainline Witcher title for years and has shown videos of it, but now the studio is providing a target release window for when the game might actually come out.

There’s more new Witcher to come before The Witcher 4, though. At this week’s Gamescom event, CD Projekt Red will be showing off its upcoming Witcher 3 expansion, Songs of the Past, which is scheduled to release sometime in 2027. Songs of the Past is also set to be part of Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event hosted by Geoff Keighley, which kicks off at 2PM ET on Tuesday.

CD Projekt Red is also working on a multiplayer spinoff set in the universe of The Witcher that’s codenamed Project Siris. Earlier in August, the company confirmed that it laid off staff working on the game.
