The Witcher 4: Release Window Confirmed for 2028, With “Surprises” Awaited at Gamescom!

Get ready, Witchers! CD Projekt Red has officially narrowed down the release window for The Witcher 4, confirming that we can expect to dive back into Geralt’s world sometime in 2028. This exciting news comes from a new video released by the company, setting the stage for their Gamescom presence this week.

A Massive Undertaking: The Scale of The Witcher 4

According to CD Projekt Red joint-CEO Michal Nowakowski, over 500 developers are currently working on The Witcher 4. “This is our biggest, boldest, and most ambitious game to date,” Nowakowski stated in the video. This massive team size underscores the sheer scope of this new installment in the franchise.

While the 2028 release date is set, Nowakowski acknowledged the understandable eagerness from fans: “I know it’s a bit of a wait, and you’d love to play it sooner–but let the team cook. It will be worth the wait.” This sentiment echoes previous delays experienced with The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, reminding players that while anticipation is high, patience is key.

A New Trilogy Begins: The Future of The Witcher Games

The Witcher 4 marks the beginning of a brand new trilogy, with The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6 planned for release within the next six years. This means that players can anticipate a steady stream of content in the Witcher universe, potentially culminating in the entire new trilogy being available by 2034.

It’s important to note that Nowakowski emphasized that CD Projekt Red is “targeting” a 2028 release for The Witcher 4. This phrasing leaves room for potential delays, so gamers should temper their expectations accordingly. However, the commitment and resources being poured into this project suggest that it will be an unforgettable experience.
